Congratulations! It's a blog!

Jonas and I have been together for a while now (the exact amount of time probably depends on which one of us you ask).

We have conquered some tough relationship trials (from making it through graduate school together to struggling for parental acceptance of our cross cultural relationship). And we were basically inseparable during our time in grad school.

But now we are facing a temporary a long distance relationship, and I want to be able to share something with Jonas, even though we are over 2,000 miles apart. Since we are too far apart to share a plant or a pet (or I guess anything tangible that is not practical to split in half), I thought we could share this blog.

And there is the added benefit of keeping in touch with friends, while sharing our stories of cultural ignorance, shock, and acceptance.
