Hello, everyone. I have been motivated by those around me beginning blogs, and have decided to start one in order to share with our friends and family the wonderful life that Derek and I are beginning. We have been happily married for nearly two months now, and are enjoying our time together as husband and wife.
For those who don't know, Derek and I were brought together under circumstances that could easily have not happened. We feel as though fate, or some higher power, had a hand in bringing us together at exactly the right time. We met like more and more couples are meeting lately, through an online site. The thing is, Derek only signed up because he was not feeling well that day, and happened to see an ad. I had signed up only out of frustration, as a roommate and I had a horrible, awkward existence and I was hoping that if I began dating, things would be better for me. The funny thing is I didn't expect to actually meet someone worth dating from this site, and didn't think Derek and I would work, due to living in different states. But we met one Saturday evening, January 31, 2009, to be exact, and the connection was instant.
I won't bore people with details, but after a little over a year, Derek proposed to me in the very same restaurant in which we had our first date. A bit over a year after that, we were married, and that brings us to present day.
The purpose of this blog is twofold. First, I wanted those family and friends who are interested in keeping up with our lives to be able to do so. Second, I wanted to be able to have a written history of our early marriage to look back on with fond memories. So to those who read this, I hope you enjoy.
