Cork It

Image
This past weekend I finished a project that I have been working on for quite sometime.  Since college I have collected wine corks just because they seemed interesting to me and represented little memories from our life.  They are little tokens to spark a thought.  I even went as far as to label a few of them (50% at least) with dates and places. Looking back, I realized that I've collected many corks from anniversaries, birthdays, holidays, and even just plain old evenings at home. Only recently did I figure out what I wanted to do with all these corks.  I decided to purchase a large picture frame and glue the corks into an attractive pattern.  (Jordan would call the pattern "parque") He and I have recently returned from a trip to Europe so I'd hoped to place the corks collected on that trip in the middle/most prominent place on the frame.  It was a little like putting together a puzzle because I quickly learned that not all corks are the same size....

New Beginnings and Best Intentions

The last several months (a year, let's be honest) I've contemplated starting a blog.  I've hemmed and hawwed over the details and where to begin.  What should we name it?  Will I have time to keep up with it?  Can I make the time to keep up with it?  What about privacy?  What kind of blog exactly will this be?  Well friends, I still don't know the answers to all those questions but I do know that it will be fun to look back on our blog and remember these years and the crazy things that happen around us.  My hope is to provide a place to share funny stories and memories so that our friends and family can see what we are up to.  The more I thought about this little blog, the more I realized that it will be a place to write about LIFE in general!  I see no reason to limit the topic!  Jordan (my husband) and I love so many different things and we look forward to sharing our interests and adventures with you! So here's to a new beg...
