A Little Bit About Us

We (Nora and John) have recently come to one of those decisions that changes things drastically. One of those choices that makes your life take a sharp turn in a different direction. Your comfortable, familiar, daily routine becomes a distant memory of the way things once were. We have made the dicision to adopt my nephew, Jackson. We have decided also to start this blog in order to keep everyone who is interested up to date on our latest adventures in parenting, school, work, and life in general.

A quick glimpse at our life thus far: We have been married for a bit over a year and a half now and live in Duluth, MN. We are both students and work. Nora will be a senior at St. Scholastica this fall and is getting her BA in Social Work. I just finished Lake Superior College with two of my three two-year degrees; a Network Specialist AAS and a Computer Technology AAS. After one more five credit class this summer, I will have the third, an AA. This will allow me to enter St. Scholastica in the fall as a junior and spend two years there getting my BA in Computer Information Systems (CIS). Nora works at Residential Services Inc. and I am a server at the local Olive Garden.

Jackson has come to us just in time for summer. Thus far we have had many adventures on hikes and at the local parks. We will be sure to share more about these expeditions as they continue.

As we chronicle our experiences I hope that you will enjoy the journey. The curves and detours are what make life interesting.
