It seems like yesterday that Roxy rolled into our lives, with only four hundred miles on her odometer and all of the tread still on her tires. Back then, Chris and I were biased against cars, seeing no need for them in our walk-friendly city of San Francisco. Over the past six months, Roxy has become [...] It’s been a few months since the Wedding Road Trip finished, and now that I’m recovering from the trauma, I can share some favorite experiences from the trip. For the overly serious of you (and yes, I know who you are), I jest. The trip rocked and I loved almost everything. So when I tell you [...] Once upon a time, like a month ago, we spent two days in Louisville, Kentucky. We frolicked with Dave and Fox and their kids, and wrote clever posts about ducks and brunch. But we didn’t really tell you anything about them or their relationship advice. In short, our reporting was imbalanced. Ha ha, what a coincidence, [...] Please don’t read anything into the fact that I’m thinking about divorce this morning. It was a topic of major conversation this past weekend during our hometown Wedding Road Trip interviews, and it’s still on my mind. This past Sunday, we had the chance to wine and dine with my Aunt Jeri and Uncle Jim. Both [...] It’s pretty fair to say that Chris and I were about two steps away from secretly getting married at the SF courthouse at the end of the Wedding Road Trip. Sure, we’d planned a ceremony and party for all of our local friends, but after six weeks of talking about love and marriage, we were [...] We’re just a few weeks away from our actual wedding ceremony and all the details are finally being officially decided. Pre-wedding dinner, check. Parental meeting, check. Afternoon rodeo, check. At this point, if you are not a regular reader, you may be saying, “Wait, I thought they did a road trip instead of a wedding.” Actually [...] With 25 days left until we officially become Mr. and Mrs. We-Haven’t-Figured-It-Out-Yet, the only word to describe how I am feeling is: Over-scheduled. Within the next month: We will say goodbye to Roxy. (Right now it’s scheduled for next week, but we’re hoping to keep her through the end of the trip.) Dear San Francisco, While I was gone, I must admit that I didn’t miss you too much. But that was understandable, because we were pretty busy – visiting friends and family, driving through incredible nature, and whale watching. Now that I’m back, I want to give a shout out to the things that I missed – my [...] Just like some people win the adoption lottery, other people wind up with kickass last names. Case in point, my friend Carolyn, who already has an awesome surname and is gaining an equally-fantastic last name this September. She’s decided to go the path of least resistance and take her husband’s last name, keeping her maiden [...] Roxy is solely responsible for eliminating my Fat Car Ass. She drives me to the gym when I don’t feel like getting up in the morning and encourages me to go to the mountains for long afternoon hikes. While we have several days left of interviews and meet-ups, Roxy has promised me that she’ll take [...] |
