First Day on the Blog

Hi everyone! I have started this blog because my husband Brian and I are moving to Alabama next week and it's going to be a huge change for me, living in Florida my whole life. Right now, it's snowing there while it's 70° F here.

I never expected to move to Alabama. The only time I have ever been there is when I went to college at Auburn. I graduated in May and immediately returned to Florida. During my college years, I did a lot of traveling, across both America and Europe. And where did I meet my husband? In a bar. in Alabama. But I love him and I would travel anywhere with him.

The main reason we're moving back is because living in Florida is draining our savings - we're not making enough working at Disney. And since my college program internship ended, I haven't been able to find any work because of this economy. There's a lot more opportunites in Alabama. Another reason is because I'm six weeks pregnant and we decided it would be better to raise our first child in the country.

So I've started writing this blog - as a timewaster, an outlet, and as a way to chronicle our adventures into parenthood and around the world. Happy reading!
