First Time Blogger

Today I started thinking about all of the things that have been keeping Matt and I busy the last year or so... International travel, planning our wedding, getting married, honeymoon in Hawii, moving in together, Matt ran his first marathon, new jobs for both of us, various trips to visit each of our families, fun events with friends, cute stories about our cats Tucker and Otis... The list goes on. And now we're in the process of purchasing our first home and moving from Davenport, IA to Cedar Falls, IA.

I thought a blog might be a fun way to help keep family and friends updated on what's new with the Clairs. I've never blogged before, but I hope I can post with reasonable frequency so check back regularly. If you have any comments or suggestions, please share!

The pictures below are from some recent happenings and give you a sense of what I intend to post in the future.
