When I started blogging in 2003 I used it as a journal. A way to just jot down thoughts about my day, my life, my friends, my tennis career, and my pursuit of Jenn. It slowly morphed from that into a highlight reel of my life. A way for me to have a place to look back on the fond memories. A timeline of events so that one day in the future when I want to remember what I ate in Paris in 2008 when I got off the train I can (it was shrimp risotto from the hotel room service). It's an amazing life to write about. I've been blessed. I have an incredible, amazing wife who's my best friend. I have the best family I could ask for. I have a great job. I get to travel the world. I've been incredibly blessed. 

Almost two months after we put in our initial offer in on a home, we've finally got keys! But that's getting ahead of myself. In my last post we left off a couple of days before we got keys. After a couple of quiet weeks things ramped up in a big way.

For the last year or two Jenn has been on a mission. That mission, for us to purchase our first home. After renting for the first 5 years of our marriage she was ready to settle down. Me on the other hand I could have stayed at our current apartment indefinitely. Eventually Jenn got me to come around and we began the journey.
