A Little Bit About Us

We decided to start this blog to keep all of our out of town relatives and friends in the loop on everthing that is going on in our household. Although I believe most of our readers will be those who already know us, here is a little bit of our backstory for those who don't.

This is David:
He is the love of my life and my best friend in the entire world.

This is me:
Our lives started together four years ago and we were married August 22, 2009, almost three years after we first met. Following our wedding we left on a two month honeymoon to Australia that brought about some of our favourite memories.

Here we are on our wedding day:

I come from a huge blended family of five kids. My siblings are hilarious. We didn't always get along growing up, but we can't get enough of each other now.

David comes from a smaller family. He has one older sister whom he gets along with famously even though they are seperated by a four year age gap.

Now I will admit, David and I didn't fall in love with each other because we had a lot in common..... we fell in love because we didn't. He is a conservative man with a love for the law, stats and facts. He is an avid triathlete who has competed in several World Triathlon Championships and one Ironman. He likes to plan and organize and is a whiz with a budget. I, on the other hand, am a bit of a free spirit. I am artistic and creative and often have ten projects that I am working on at any given time. I am much more impulsive and spontaneous and like to go with the flow. Although I too have competed in Triathlons, I have no where near the same drive as David to exceed at athletics. I think it is our opposite natures that have created such a balance in our lives.

We are also about to embark on one of the most exciting times of our lives... We are about to become parents. We found out in May of this year that we are expecting our first child on January 28, 2011 and we can't wait! It will be the first grandchild for our parents and the first great-grandchild for three of our grandparents.

I will start the blog off with a couple of updates on how the pregnancy has been going thus far.

Hope you all enjoy reading!
