our first years

i'd like to have a family blog for the amazing opportunity we have of printing out blogs and using them as journals. we've been asked to keep a family history and why wouldn't we take advantage of this amazing modern day opportunity?

so i'm going to start at the beginning, so a few things that are already in my personal blog will be repeated in these first few posts, while i also add some details.

matty and i were lucky to have memories of each other from out very first years of school. when we started dating out parents were excited because they remembered the other one from our kindergarten years. we both had crushes on each other when we were 5 years old, we are standing next to each other in the class picture. One day I'll scan it in for a better view:

i'm the blue socks and he's the snoopy sweatshirt

we separated in first grade then had 2nd grade together again. he said he remembers the outfit i was wearing the last time he saw me before i moved away to ohio in the 3rd grade. leggings and a sweater, something i did wear back then...it's very possible.

i moved away and had a separate life, he grew up with the same friends we knew together. when we were 22 the glory of facebook brought us back together again. a mutual friend from those elementary days had a birthday and he saw my post on her wall. when i saw his face i knew it was little matty from kindergarten all grown up.  i'd been divorced, he had just ended an engagement, we built each other up and from day one never went 24 hours without seeing each other. i'm lucky to say it's stayed that way (although we've only been married 12ish weeks)

...so this blog is our story. and we are going to make it a good one.
