*....or so the story goes. Once upon a time, Ryan suggested to Melissa that they start a 'blog'. To which Melissa said, "We are not blog people!" And so here we are. We are teaching ourselves photography, taking the camera everywhere with us. This little blog is meant to show off shots we are proud of, and to give you a glimpse into our adventures. Comments always welcome!

Back on the "Q"

Yes folks, we've been hitting the Nyquil pretty hard. We are both bedridden with the flu. I am just posting this as I wait for my shift to sleep. We have developed this system of sleeping in shifts so we dont have to listen to the other moaning, coughing, hacking, yacking and all around fidgeting. Pretty ingenious eh?

Slowly, but surely, things are coming together at the new house.

Many Apologies for this hideous Blogger "NavBar" that you now see up top. It is a byproduct of Google taking over Blogger. When you upgrade to the new Google version they "say" that your template won't change. Well...except for the NavBar that you have already removed. -sigh- eventually somebody will come up with code to get rid of it.
