Three years ago...

Three years ago, I created this blog with vast intentions of telling tall tales of my wild adventures in and around Charleston. I was a single male in my young twenties, with a job, minimal rent, and a desire to be outside. Leading up to the first post, I acquired a kayak for myself, set my friends on the course of buying a broken Hobie Cat (more broken than we could have ever imaged) to sail, and collected all sorts of adventure gear. I had some adventures, posted once on my blog, and promptly forgot that it existed.

Then a beautiful thing happened -- I met a girl, she won my heart, and I asked her to be my wife (she accepted). Ashley and I are approaching a year and a half of marriage and it has been a most wonderful adventure, though perhaps a slightly different one than that about which I set out to write. My beautiful wife shares my love of the outdoors and a good adventure, so we embark on those sorts of adventures as we can, but I learned that many of the best and greatest adventures are of the "every day" variety-- the joys of learning to love and support each other, set up a home together, and the list goes on...

As an English major, Ashley reignited my desire to read and has encouraged my re-entry to the world of blogging. And so, here I am.
