About Us

Josh and I created this blog to document our lives, the exciting parts and the boring parts (you don't have to read those). Although I would love to become one of those awesome blogettes (i.e., Mama Laughlin, Skinny Meg, Walking in Memphis in High Heels, The Stanfield Clan, Little Baby J, and Baby Ellie), this really is for all of our friends to read to keep updated on Josh and I. Why would they need to be updated, you ask....(a little backstory in case our blog becomes famous one day)

Well, that's because we now live about 3,000 miles away from them. Yes, 3,000 miles which might as well be 10,000 when it comes to flying purposes. In all honesty, I still get a lump in my throat when I think about it. And, although we have only been away for two months (4.5 months for Josh), we miss them like crazy! 

Back in November of 2012, Josh was about to get laid off from his job and was given the opportunity to take a job in TN. Although Josh has always wanted to move out of CA, I was perfectly content living within a 30 mile radius from all of our family and friends. When Josh and I first started dating, he even asked me if I'd ever move out of CA because he wanted to get out as soon as he could, and even told me it was a deal breaker. Ha! I just heard a cute guy talking gibberish to me and I played along. Little did I know that we'd fall in love and be faced with that decision a little over a year later. 

So after a billion (not exaggerating) fights and tears, Josh and I came to the decision together that, although the thought of moving away from everything we've grown to know was terrifying, moving to TN was going to be the best decision for us.  I'm pretty sure if we had taken a vote on to move or not to move, we probably would have been the only in favor. But that's only because we are so close to our family and friends, and let me tell you, they are amazing!  Not only are they amazing, they are also supportive which is exactly what we needed during the whole transition.  They all supported our decision, offered help, and agreed to not make new best friends. 

Fast forward about six months...and here we are. We finally started a blog and are officially TN residents, eek! We have taken a Penske truck across country (with the help of Josh's parents), moved into a townhouse 1500 sq. ft. smaller than our house in CA (that we only saw pictures online before moving in), both started new jobs, traveled to Chicago to see the Cubs play the Giants, traveled to Asheville, NC to find the best breweries around, and just recently traveled to Atlanta, GA to watch the Giants play the Braves and drink more beer. 

Never never never would I have ever thought I'd be creating a blog unless I was pregnant or getting married (none of those are happening, YET haha). So here it is, a blog of Casi and Josh's adventures from traveling the country, to making new friends, to working out, to finding the best beers around, to staying in touch with all of our family and friends, to falling in love with each other more and more every day, and everything in between.

Pictures will come.....when I figure that portion out. Be happy that there are words and a website :)
