The idea to write a blog about our lives excited us both. Our aunt, for some strange reason, brought up the idea last June, and told us to let her know when we got it going.
It intrigued us why anyone would want to know more about our marriage, and what qualities we possessed that were of reading interest...I guess we'll find out by blogging.
"Why would you want to expose your marriage on the internet?" A friend asked as I shared the blog idea with him.
"Well" I slowly proceeded, "maybe our blog can be a bit of what reality TV attempts to be. Real humans interacting, revealing their challenges and victories so that others can relate and feel normal."
We often "front" so well that we trick others around us that we are nearly "perfect" people. Vulnerability has a way of deflating that notion, and encourages others to verbalize their struggles as well. By sharing our stories, conflict, rising action, climax and resolution, more of the "reality" shows up, as we reveal our true lives. Sometimes we are in the midst of conflict, our life is not young marriage bliss. The aches and pains of life are present, yet character is emerging, and we love the process!
So instead of the typical, "How are you today?"..."Good!" question and response, we offer this blog for those who want to hear the answer to "How is it really going today?"
I also believe Abby and I will get an incredible chance to know each other through the blog. So even if our subscribers number in the single digits...it will be a new way to know each other, and who can argue with that?
Enjoy a Peek into our lives.
I am excited to know you better Abby!
