So here it is! After months of brooding and pondering and deep, deep thinking, I present to you our first blog post! Ok. So maybe months really means several weeks...and deep thinking amounts to passing mentions and many repetitions of "yeah...we should probably start working on that blog we were so excited about..."...but the point is we finally got here.
First, a little bit about us:
I am Amy: a chronically Disney singing 25 year old who spends most of her days and, if dreams count, many of her nights as a cashier at a local upscale grocery store. He, as you will find out when he gets around to posting, is Rowan: a 23 (or is it 24 now?) year old who, I'm pretty sure, just lifts weights and trains Brazilian Jiu Jitsu so that he can eat the entire cake (without sharing).
This is (ideally) our blog about our decision to move from Baton Rouge to Seattle. Who knows what it'll become! Now, I'm going to let Rowan take over and say his piece :P
Rowan (noun): Once a world famous viola prodigy, Rowan's immense talent was drained away in an instant following a poorly thought out gamble with Beelzebub. He is now reduced to a life of minimal work, moderate exercise, and excessive electronic entertainment. Despite this, he has kept his noble chin up and agreed to help write what the Albuquerque Tribune will one day call "The Best Blog Ever Written" (Feb. 2016 issue). He is currently studying to be a Space Marine.
Well with that introduction out of the way, why am I interested in moving to Seattle? I have heard the weather is fantastic (and believe it or not, I'm mostly being honest about that one). Amy and I both have relatively mobile jobs, so what better time in our lives to pick up and settle down elsewhere on a whim? Also, the upcoming ordeal of driving 2000 miles with 3 cats and a rabbit in our car is the sort of crucible out of which we can only emerge stronger - I would liken it to climbing Mt. Everest without oxygen. ANY oxygen.
Assuming we survive that, we're both looking forward to a lot of opportunities that Seattle has to offer. It will be my first "big" city, and by comparison Baton Rouge is truly a city in name only. And with more people around, the chances that two weirdos like us will actually be able to "fit in" somewhere is bound to increase, right? All I'm asking for is a club dedicated to Judo, bad movies, League of Legends, philosophy, karaoke outings, Internet memes and brownies. I can even compromise and replace brownies with cookies...just no raisins, dagnabbit! Anyway, here's to hoping. I think we'll spend a post or two introducing the menagerie we keep here as well, hopefully with video evidence of the mayhem. Ka'plah!
P.S. UP = urban professionals...the two aspects of yuppiedom we currently lack. Amy thinks it's superfluous to explain this, but I think that even super-geniuses like yourself sometimes need a helping hand. Did I mention you're extremely good looking? Take care now.
