This time last year this blog didn’t exist. I was working in a coffee shop in a city I despised. John was only halfway through his law degree – which he hated – and “our life” as we had planned it just wasn’t what we had hoped for. The funny thing is our circumstances were all the result of decisions we had made actively or passively. And despite our careful planning and foresight we just weren’t happy with the direction we were headed. We all know what to do in these situations: stay positive and keep putting one foot in front of the other even when the road ahead looks bleak.

The conversation was one of the best we’d ever had a conversation that honestly changed the course of our lives as a married couple and as individuals forever. That night we decided that if we don’t like something we’ll change it and if we want to do something—whether it’s something as small as starting a website or something as big as traveling the world—we’ll find a way to do it. From the outside we may seem like crazy people. But if we’re doing what we love does it really matter?
