I’m sure everyone has heard of this saying before: Do something that scares you every day. Adam and I came across that saying while we were in New Zealand. Adam then mentions that it would be a good new year’s resolution. I jokingly say ‘yes’ and that it’d be the easiest resolution ever since, you […]
Blog Fail.
Yes, we know we have a blog…and we’ve become increasingly aware of how infrequently we’ve updated it over the past month. The good news is the lack of blogging is due to an overwhelmingly large amount of fun and exciting things that we’ve been up to. The bad news is that now we have to […]
Distance
Thomas Wolfe once said: You can’t go home again. I actually wrote my college entrance essay on this concept…how poetic that it is that essay that led me to Chapel Hill where Adam and I met…and that these words, many years later, continue to frame our life as we travel, expand our boundaries and pick […]

Interesting article…and our take on it
This sign should probably be posted at the departure gates of all International flights leaving the U.S. and heading towards Europe… http://www.cnn.com/2010/TRAVEL/07/13/european.nudes/index.html?hpt=C2 The article (link above) is written by Rick Steves – a quirky, slightly nerdy traveller extraordinaire whose videos and books helped Adam and I plan our recent trip.

A White Christmas in Texas
For Christmas this year we (including Dori) visited with my family in Saginaw, Texas. The drive down was long (~16 hours) and included a short stop for Dori’s “accident” in the backseat but it was otherwise smooth sailing and uneventful. During our stay in Texas we had quality time with my parents and sister – […]
