write a blog? me?

well, here i am, sitting in our little apartment. newly married, enjoying some hot coffee with a dash of almond milk, switching between thoughts of: "i wish i made a latte..." and "what on earth am i going to write to these people?! is this even interesting?!" and then i realized, i'm not writing others, i'm writing for us, calm down ashley.

and so i welcome you to our little digital diary. and thanks, for whatever crazy reason you decided to spend some time reading my insane and probably scattered thoughts. i'm quite certain it'll be like family (hi mom!) and close friends who keep up with us, but if we get strangers (hopefully not the basement dwellers sitting in their underwear kind, but i mean, no judgement...) and maybe some new friends, then hooray!

now that you've gotten a little taste of my sanity, i thought i'd write some of the reasons for starting this here little blog, just so you can get a little understanding into what will be going on and also so i can remind myself when i get lazy or not knowing what to write about i can refer to this and be all like, "okay, see there's a reason, you'll get to go back and be all 'woah we did that, we're nuts."

okay, so, reasons for A Home on the Road:

-to keep a journal of sorts through our time in the minor leagues and maybe beyond of all the adventures we had, the love we shared and were shown, and for when times get a little rough the look back and remember the amazing grace God gave us.
-for our family and friends to keep track of where we're at and where we're going (if we ever actually know before we get there)
-for other couples who are in this crazy world of minor league baseball
-for everyone else, who maybe like seeing others put themselves through a crazy situation for a good time or are interested in learning about this sort of lifestyle; i.e: poor nomads, but one of which throws a baseball really fast (hint hint: it's not me)

well, you made it to the bottom of the first post, congrats! and i made it to the end of writing without having too many uses of the backspace button, yay me! so, get ready for lots of baseball, lots of moving, lots of crazy, maybe some laughs, and even some tears...okay, i'm a getting a little carried away here...anyway, enjoy, i know i will!
