Nearly Three Months!!!

Will here!

The Berlin Family has been on the move in more ways than one. In fact, it may even be more ways than ten. We've only said it about 30 times so far, so you should know that we keep booked up. Some days we wonder why, but then there are days like this past Saturday (when I was having some pretty surreal stomach issues) when we were hunkered down in our apartment for about 7 hours. Soon, it wasn't the stomach pain that was surreal, it was the cabin fever. We ended up running a couple of small errands and taking a late night stroll just to get some air. Maybe it's the air we like, and maybe it's the frenetic pace of things that gets us the most air.

So, I know Clare mentioned in her last post that we had some big plans for the rest of our summer, and these plans have really taken off! We are planning an epic cross-country road trip at the end of July that will spill over into August. We'll travel a total of 5,800 miles, drive for over 95 hours, see the highlights of three National Parks, and drive clear to the City by the Bay, old San Fran herself. This has been a dream of mine basically since I realized that I had the power to set events in motion, and now that Clare and I can see the impending beginning of Med School (the trip puts us back 48 hours before the start of that journey), we feel that this is an appropriate way to cap off our first summer of married life. Three months in, and we're looking forward to scratching one more life goal off the Bucket List. Excellent!

One Month Anniversary!

As hard as it is to believe, Will and I have been married for one month as of yesterday! It has been completely wonderful- but really the time has gone by so quickly! Time always goes by so quickly when we are together- but it's making us realize that before we know it we will have been married for 10 years! I don't want time to zoom by too quickly- so we have decided we are seriously going to start documenting more of what we do. I think one reason time has zoomed by lately is that we have been SuPeR busy with work lately- Not only are we so busy during the day, but almost every weekend since we got married we have been working also! Then when we get home at the end of the day we are so tired- we manage to make dinner, try to exercise, and then it's already bedtime. So, all of that is changing. This is such an exciting time in our lives- the honeymoon phase, as some call it- I want to look back at old pictures and remember all the changes that took place.

So, we have set a few goals for ourselves. We are always trying to find new ways to learn from our surroundings and push ourselves to become better people. We tend to have different ways to accomplish this goal, but some of the upcoming changes are.....
