Welcome to our blog

So this is where it starts, our first blog post.  We have been married just over six months and time has gone by fast.  Being married feels surreal to both of us, and we are lucky to have such great support from our families, and most importantly from each other.  It is so nice to be each others confidants, and we are happy to be partners-in-crime.

We are excited to start documenting our adventures and experiences together and to share them with the people we love.  Hopefully all of you will find our posts to be fun enough to read about, with not too many grammatical errors since mastery of the English language is something we are both lacking.

We have put together a bucket-list of 25 things we hope to accomplish sometime in our lives.  We are looking forward to crossing things off our list and by getting this out into the blogosphere we hope it helps motivate us to live out our dreams (and give us something to write about).  Enjoy...
