Long Distance Relationship, ahh Long Distance Shmalationship!

First off, I can't believe how amazing Emily is. So the fact that we are doing a Blog together is almost surreal for me. I guess since this is the first post I should give a quick little relationship bio on myself.

Relationship Autobiography:

No serious relationships, ever. Pointless dating my freshmen year at ASU. Ran around like a chicken with its head cut off at a Christian College for almost 2 years feeling the urgency to get a "ring by spring." Didn't happen. Decided to wait until after I graduated to even start thinking about thinking to find someone to start pursuing. Boomshakalaka, several months later I am let known of Emily's existence by Sarah Voris, her sister-in-law. I work with Emily's brother Eric at Spring of Life Christian Church in Mesa, AZ. Emily and I started Facebook messaging August 27 - which in turn progressed to longer emails, Skype dates, and even a super secret Vlog. After an eight hour Skype date on October 1, 2010 we decided that we were both off the market because of each other and subsequently made it official on Facebook the next day.

I think it is going to be interesting to see what this blog turns into. Yeah sure, it is another great excuse for Em and I to flirt. Granted that, I think we're going to learn a lot thru it. Not just the little things like dating as a Christian, but also what that means in the context of living 5281 miles from one another. I think it is going to be an amazing journey and this will surely be an epic chronicle of it. I'm really interested to see how we approach this relationship in this blog once we've actually been in one another's physical presence later this month in St. Louis, MO.

Alright, not going too deep down the rabbit's hole in this post since it is the first one. Emily it is your turn, blog about whatever. BRING IT ON!
