The beginning...

A little background information:

Matt and I met in our junior year of high school (I was 16 he was 17). We dated for 6 years exactly before he popped the question on our anniversary. I was caught off guard to say the least since I had not even graduated college. Needless to say, 1 year and 5 days later we were married. I am working as a high school teacher teaching math in the special education department...at the high school I graduated from no less (not intentional...it just seemed to work out that way). I can honestly say of all the things I ever imagined doing when I was a "grown up" this is not one of them. I will say though that I can't imagine doing anything else. I absolutely love my kids (most of them:) Matt is working for the post office as a mail carrier. He is definitely not the type of guy who can sit at a desk all day so this job suites him well. That is until its 120 degrees outside! All in all we are pretty simple people but it works for us. We love being married and can not wait to start our family...which leads to why I even started this thing in the first place.

I tend to be a pretty forgetful person and am pretty well known for my sticky notes (especially at work). There is a reason for this...if I do not write it down I will forget. In short, I want to have a place where I am able to document the events of our lives so that 20 years from now I will remember them. Since I really don't know anyone on here I am not to concerned with keeping a giant list of friends or stating my views on current affairs. Rather, this is made for personal documentation. At this point I have no idea what I am doing. I hope to become a little more blog savvy and well see where it goes from there.
