I have decided to give this blogging thing a try. While anyone who knows me knows I have strong and abundant political views, I would merely like to use this as a way to update family and friends on the goings-on in our rich, but busy lives. We'll see how it goes...........Joe and I have been married for three years now. Eva just turned 2 and Grace is 9. There are job schedules -- we both work for the Legislature -- Grace's time with her dad and stepmom, and the two houses (and mortgages) we had when we met and continue to enjoy (Charleston, most of the time, Barboursville, when we can get there on the weekends).
Grace plays soccer and has taken swim lessons periodically. That's about all the regular extracurricular activity we can handle. Overachieving parents we are not.
I love this state and being close to my parents, a mere few miles, in fact. But I'm sad that all my girlfriends from high school and college not only live all around the country (sad only because I don't get to see them regularly), and now their parents are starting to relocate to be closer to them, so the incentive to come back to WV is diminishing rapidly.
Still, Joe and I really enjoy living here. And now that the state is being viewed nationally as the land of racist rednecks, maybe we are more obligated than ever to stay and fight the good fight. (Oops. That was a political statement, wasn't it. And on my very first post....)
