the first one


we're new to this.  my family lives in virginia, the hub's parents live in florida, and this is common ground.  basically, a place we can update on what is happening in our lives.  which usually isn't much.  but i'm ahead of myself.  i'm a lawyer in west virginia and the hub works for a national company.  we met in law school in west virginia his first year, my second.  we moved four times in the first year of our marriage, and we've only been married two and a half years now.  we bought our first house a month after marrying, just to sell it four months later.  we moved to virginia beach to start over, just for the hub to get a job offer in oklahoma.  and we moved there just to move back to west virginia three months later.  though, luckily, it became the first time that year we were both employed at the same time.  but that's a different, very long, story for another time. or maybe not at all.

and she's having a baby.  as in me.  but isn't that a great kevin bacon movie?  and we're kids ourselves, except we're not because we're thirty years old and professionals and we have a mortgage and a dog that expects to be fed and dentist appointments.  but we still sit around daydreaming about moving to the beach, any beach, and being bartenders or working at a surf shop and dropping the law degree and feeling a little sunburned at the end of every day.   and we won't now.  because we're going to have a little person who needs the stability.  and that's okay because we're not missing out on anything.  we're just trying to figure it all out.  especially how we ended up in west virginia.
