I’ve Been Everywhere, Man

This has been a heck of a week. I was in San Diego last Monday/Tuesday for a meeting, then got the call to go out to the East Coast for a week. I’ve been working about 12 hour days, but I’m finally at the airport ready to fly home. That will be nice.

Rachel and I are leaving for Bozeman Thursday night for a wedding that she’s in. There’s also a good chance that I could be heading back to San Diego early next week. And maybe back to the East Coast at least once more, if not twice, before the end of October.

We’re also flying out to Alabama at the end of September to go to Brian and Courtney’s wedding.

Did I mention we’re trying to do our own wedding planning too?

FaceTime from 38,854 Feet

Welcome to the future, where I can video chat with my fiancée from my computer on an airplane flying at 38,854 feet and going 562 mph to her cellphone while she’s on the 8th floor of her office building.

FaceTime from 38,854 feet

That’s what I call awesome (minus the fact that I have to be away from Rachel for a week).

Tough Mudder 2013

So this is going to happen next year:

Mark your calendars for Sunday June 16, 2013. Rachel and I signed up for Tough Mudder Colorado 2013.

This should be good as long as we can handle the hot, dry Colorado summers and get acclimated to the altitude quick enough. Last time I was in Colorado, I hiked a 14ner and ended up suffering from altitude sickness, which—while an interesting case study in how my body works—was not fun to deal with.

Welcome to Our Blog

Welcome to our website! How exciting is this! Our hope is that this place can serve as a central location for our friends and family to keep in touch with us as we go about life. We have big plans, and we want to share them with you.

You can keep up to date with our site using our RSS feed in your favorite feed reader (I like Google Reader), via email subscription, or even just poke your head back here: https://andrewandrachel.com/

Initially, this site is going to be very wedding focused. In the coming weeks, you’ll be able to find all the information you need about our wedding (don’t worry, we will still send out physical invitations as well).

Starting at the beginning of next year, we’ll archive all the wedding stuff and transition things to more of a life blog (whatever that means).

If you were a reader of my previous blog adventure, Andrew Ferguson dot NET, I’m going to be blogging about life over here and technical things over there.

Some house keeping notes:

  • You can look at the byline to see who wrote what post. Andrew will post as Andrew and Rachel will post as Rachel.
  • This is our blog. We reserve the right to censor, edit, redact, and modify stuff on here as we see fit, this includes comments left by others. We will try our best to make note of when we edit someone else’s comment.
  • This weblog does not represent the thoughts, intentions, plans or strategies of our respective employers (or any other organization we might have a vested interest in).
