The story so far...

So, my first post.

I told Rebecca before we got married that we should start a blog. Then she finally goes and starts one, and it takes me almost 5 days before I post for the first time. Then I looked over all of her posts so far, and realized she never really introduced herself or us.

I'm Bob, and I'm an engineer. Rebecca is my new wife, and she has a job too. We just moved to Seattle from the San Francisco Bay Area, Mountain View to be exact. I've lived 5 places in the last 6 years. I'm originally from Upstate New York. No, not Westchester County, actual upstate, like the Albany area. It's easier to say the "Albany area" because not many people have heard of my hometown unless you're from the Northeast and have driven the Northway a lot. I went to college at RPI, which the important people have heard about, not that you're not important. You are important! After graduation in 2003, I moved down to Atlanta, and was there for damn near 3 and a half years. I met Rebecca there, but due to some uncertainties in my life at the time such as turning 25 and my job security in question, I made my way West. I ended up in the Southern California desert, which I told everyone was Los Angles because no one really had ever heard of the place I was living. I was in the depressing desert for a year before opportunity knocked, and I got a transfer up to the Bay Area, or Silicon Valley, or whatever you would classify Mountain View as. That is where Rebecca and I rekindled our romance, got engaged, and decided that marriage suited us. Then again with the job, I managed a sweet new deal for us in Seattle.

That's where our story begins. We've barely been here for two weeks now. I like my new job, I like the weather here, and I love my wife. We really like to take adventures and we think we're hipsters. I'm really into gaming, music, technology, cars, and a lot of other random things. I have a fierce beard and glasses. My wife is smart, sarcastic, funny, witty, and beautiful. I'm pretty sure we've both had blogs before that are now long dead. I'll probably write at length about all of those things, and of course about random things too. I just realized it's 12:30 am on a Sunday, and I gotta be up at 6. There will be more later.

Stay tuned. Same time, same channel.
