2.5 years of marriage, two years since our wedding day, and we've already done more in this short period than most ever do. Honestly feels like we've been married a dozen years or more already.

Here's some of what we've done already:

>hitchhiked through Newfoundland, Canada (and other places)

>Andy wrote for several large publications multiple times

>stealth camped in a cemetery (as well as other interesting places)

>We sneaked into a black-tye event in NYC (dressed nicely, but I was barefoot), but it was ok because people knew who were were and were glad to see us

>Went to a remote island in Michigan

>took a sleeper train to California

>also traveled to Nevada, New Mexico, Delaware, Maine, New Hampshire, Missouri

>visited dozens of Catholic churches, including hardcore Latin Masses and very mainstream Boomer Masses

>also attended church with Seventh Day Adventists, Jehovah's Witnesses, House Churched people, Baptists, Non-denominationals, Anglicans, multiple OCA orthodox Churches, etc

>Andy met my maternal grandparents

>We stayed nearly a week with the Amish I lived with as a girl.

>Spent a lot of time with Andy's mother before she passed

>We attended my brother's wedding

>We had a baby

>We bought our second house

>I edited and published my grandfather's memoir about growing up without a social security number

It's been a wonderful life so far!!
