We struggle with 'keeping in touch.'

Surprised? Probably not.

Josh and I arrived in Nashville eleven weeks ago. And how many of you have we kept up to date on our transition and goings on?  Probably only my dad, and only because he has faithfully called me every day to help me from getting lonely :)

So, we've decided to start a blog.  Well, to help us communicate, and also because I need something to do (or someone to talk to) while Josh studies.

We hope that in keeping up with this blog, we can give all of you a peek into our life here in Nashville.  That peek, we hope, can come out of life's little lessons learned here at the intersection of new city, newlyweds, and new medical student.  I have a feeling there are far more lessons to be learned than I'll ever have time to share!

Tonight, I'll start only with the basics, and hopefully, over the course of the next few weeks, I'll get caught up to present.  Maybe then we'll feel like we've nailed this whole 'keeping in touch' thing.

So...here's the start to my catch-up!

Josh and I, in front of wonderful friends and family, were married on March 24th, 2013.  Denver surprised us with 12" of snow and a week of 12° weather, just for all of our out of town guests.

If we look cold, it's because we are!  But outside of that, it was a beautiful wedding and a beautiful weekend for us.  We loved sharing it with so many of you and are still so excited to be supported in our marriage by our friends and family.

Two days after the wedding, Josh and I headed out to Nashville, TN to look for an apartment.  We knew at that point that Josh would begin a seven year MD/PhD program at Vanderbilt over the summer, and were preparing for the move.  Following a few days in Nashville, we spent a week in Canada for our honeymoon, and returned to Denver to begin married life and the process of transitioning away from home.  Josh, my dad, and I left Denver on June 14th, with a truck filled with wedding gifts, furniture, and a whole love of 'stuff.'

We arrived safely in Nashville two days later, and thus have begun our transition to marriage, Nashville, and medical school.

Thanks for reading!
