Mr. G and I have talked about starting a blog for a while,
for a number of different reasons, here are just a few:
1.
We always seem to meet and see the most interesting
people while out and about. (Typically we see a couple deciding it’s a really good idea
to have a make out session in public, it’s crazy how often this happens to us.)
2.
My new husband has a tendency to strike up a
conversation with strangers and eventually hears their entire life story,
sometimes funny….sometimes not so much. (Like the time he met the convicted
felon on a plane to Naples, FL. This guy
was a major drug dealer and had just been released after 4 years from a prison in
upstate New York.)
3.
Our home in Minneapolis is almost 100 years old; while
this house has character, beautiful hard wood floors and gorgeous built ins, it
also comes with “the critters”. Yep, we
have battled bats (my husband has had rabies shots after being bitten), gray
squirrels, flying squirrels, mice and really pesky birds. Just to name a few. Don’t get me started on the plumbing issues
we have had! There is always a story
coming out of this house. But no matter what, this house is where we call home.
4.
We both come from incredibly entertaining families
(sorry guys, we love you!) and often times they get themselves into quite
interesting situations. (Like the time
my younger sister decided to get hit in the head with a softball, she is okay,
but simply texted the entire family a picture of her in the ER with a softball
sized lump on her forehead. Caption “I’m
okay”….my mom wasn’t amused)
5.
Mr. G and I are newlyweds and I know that this new
territory will come with its share of fun, hilarious, serious, and embarrassing
moments and who knows what else. So why
not share that with the world right?!
The list of reasons to document parts of our lives could go
on for a while, but we think this will be a fun way to get our memories down on
paper to share with all of you.
Buckle up and enjoy the ride!
With love,
Mrs. G
PS. Stay tuned for my
next post about the old Italian waiter Saul we met on our honeymoon, he was
adorable! And Mr. G will pop in to tell
you about getting our sailboat in the water, there is always a story thereJ
