Blog times number one. Originally, I had written this:
Hello to the first ever edition of Tasccforce (which was supposed to be a comic book reference but failed.)
Our mission plan:
That
Annoying
Super
Cute
Couple
Forever
Outdooring
Rad
Countries
Endlessly
(Tasccforce, high-five nerd friends!)
But then the lovely wife prudently let me know this wasn't nearly as witty as I thought it was, so the name of the blog is in transit.
For the first update (Yes, I realize outdooring in not a proper wrod. [Get it?]) Below is normal me, sexy me (me painting my warhammer figures), and my beautiful wife.
Lets reiterate that: normal me:
My amazing wife:
Obviously, I'm either a lucky man or I've duped my wife, but she is WAY smarter, sexier and awesome than I am so I'll stay with my inherent luck.
So here is the story: We met on April 20th. 2012.
I was working in a hostel in Nicaragua.
We had guests decide it would be a good idea to 'Scorpion' from the second story roof. Needless (well, apparently, needed) to say, people done got hurt. Seeing as we were on an island, hours away from any proper medical care, we automatically assumed Christine would take charge. Realizing what a boss she was, I promptly set about convincing her to work at the hostel. And then come live with me in the States. And then marry me. (I proposed whilst rock climbing: romantic, yes, but I was so nervous I nearly dropped off the wall).
Since then, I enrolled in the teacher credential program, and Christine suitably kicked ass and took names. After a life of traveling when and where the winds took us, we were sedentary for nearly two years. And it has been driving us absolutely, fundamentally, insane.
So as of today, May 23rd, 2015, I have eight days left of teaching. Four days after that, we embark on an epic journey to Iceland, the Faroe Islands, Scotland, and any adventure that arises therein. Post trip, we will both be homeless, jobless, and unsure of our direction, but feeling and looking (mostly looking) good after a brand new adventure.
We can't wait.
