My first marriage, my first child, and my first blog


This is my first blog. "Thankfully," Ben Schnell has forced me to start this blog. "I love him. He knew exactly what I need right now, to share my thoughts with all my friends using this medium."* So I guess I should write about what's going on in my life.
A few firsts: My first marriage, my first child, my first blog.
A couple weeks ago, as I was driving through Chattanooga with Nick in the passenger seat and Chelsea in the back, Chelsea exclaimed: "I feel like I'm your kid." This led to a conversation: If Nick and I actually got married, could we legally adopt Chelsea as our child, providing that she requested this? Then, just this last weekend, I was driving through Chattanooga again with Nick in the passenger seat and Chelsea in the back. We decided that Nick and I should definitely get hitched, and then promptly adopt our friend (and now, daughter) Chelsea. This is our first awkward family photo. Awkward for a few reasons, but mostly because, yes, Nick's hand is placed lovingly on my knee.
So this is my first blog. Ben told me that I had to write at least a little something to start things off. I'm not sure what I'll start writing about, but don't worry - I promise to make the following blogs better than this one.

  3. Yeah, I'd say you sort of peaked too early. I don't know what you expect to come up with that could be an improvement. But honey, I want you to know that I'll support you in whatever you decide to do. Even if I think it sounds crazy pants.

  4. I was going to write EXACTLY what chelsea wrote...but I looked up and saw she already wrote it. So, today she's funnier than me. Tomorrow... we'll see.
