Well Hello!

Hello Everyone!



Welcome to our brand new blog.



This is a crazy, new experience for both Jason and I, and let me tell you, we are excited! Kind of like being newlyweds. Which is what we will be documenting for your blog-reading pleasure! It's almost the blog version of 'Newlyweds with Nick and Jessica'.



Just kidding.



Jason's much smarter than Jessica.

Ok I'm having way too much fun doing this. So now I'll share a story that happened a couple of weeks ago....(Enter dream-sequence magic here).



To begin, some of you know and some may not but at current I am not in school. I have chosen to withdraw for the semester. For this reason I'm finding myself with lots and lots of free time. This means lots of baking, video watching, cooking and trips to our wonderful grocery store, Winco. This also means that when Jason comes home from a long day of students, paperwork, teaching and racking his brain on graduate student type math his doting wife is extremely happy to see him. On such a Friday, I excitedly announced that I purchased salt that day. This might not sound very important to you, my lovely readers, but my husband had mentioned on more than one occaision that we were in DIRE need of some salt before the old carton was out. This new wife wasn't going to let her husband down! I went to the store right away and got that salt! Tragically though, when I got home I found that I had purchased sea salt that did not contain the NECESSARY nutrient 'iodide'. I was obviously ashamed of my shopping skills so I hide the salt in my purse. Yes, all 16 ounces of it. It was heavy.



The next day I went back to Winco and returned the imposter salt and purchased the correct one. I was very pleased with myself, and like I mentioned, I quickly told Jason when he got home. Well he awkwardly thanked me for accomplishing such a heroic act. The evening continued wonderfully. After dinner, it was time to let the wife out of the apartment for a nice walk. We walked all through down town Boise and had ourselves a right good time. Then as we were hand-in-hand walking home in the sunset Jason was telling me about classes and homework. Ya know, things that were pressing on his mind. I felt that I could relieve his mental burdens so I blurted out in a proud voice 'I bought salt today!'. Jason stopped walking and looked at me. He was confused and said 'you already told me'.



Dang it.



I had forgotten.



I think this is a much better story told in person. So come visit us sometime and we'll tell it to you.

Hope you've been entertained. Maybe amazed...maybe DAZZLED!
