The beginning, the ending

And so it begins. Or ends.

We've lived in Baltimore for over 7 years (actually, over 8 years for me). I thought we'd be here a year or two, until I finished grad school. But if you're not careful, life has a way of rolling on. Our life here has been pretty good. But opportunities presented themselves, and the fatigue of old routines drove us to seize those opportunities. In other words, we're gettin' the hell out of here.

We're moving from our home in Baltimore all the way to Fort Collins, CO. We decided to be ultra-hip and cool (can you actually decide to be such things??) and keep a blog of our move and transition to Colorado life. We'll update this daily as we pack up, visit family, drive across country and set up life in Colorado.

And it'll be a true blog--useless musings and reflections of two people who have no business broadcasting their thoughts to the world. But we figure it'll be a nice way to let our families and close friends see what it is like for us as we embark on this adventure. And we may try to translate the useless musings and reflections of our two dogs, George and Betty.

For weeks we've been putting the stuff of life (literally) in boxes.

And now, we can begin loading the boxes of life into bigger boxes.

Great idea, guys...I look forwarding to keeping up to date with stuff here. And when I come to help you move, I'm going to dress just like the dude in your profile photo.
