Buckle Up!

Today is a big day!  I have finally created the blog I have been promising myself I would do for the past 6 months.  We are so excited for all of you to join us in the ride of our lives!  Here's a brief summary of how this all came about...

In August 2012 Jim and I decided we were going to take a giant step in our relationship and lives and move to Europe.  Both of us were raised most of our lives in Colorado; Denver had become our home with a great group of friends and family nearby.  We both had good jobs, a huge network, and were happy to call Denver our home.  For 2 years we had been discussing a possible move to Amsterdam through Jim's job at KPMG, and we decided to make this huge change in our lives, and it has been the best decision we have ever made.

A little bit about us...

Jim and I met in Denver 4 years ago this month.  We quickly became attached at the hip and 2 pretty much became 1... hence the name Jimily... Jim + Emily.  This nickname started about 2 years ago and has stuck ever since.  I like to consider myself the housekeeper, chef, crafting extroidanaire, caretaker of our 3 year old dog Koda, and most importantly EVENT COORDINATOR of our lives.  Jim is the hardworking, business oriented, supporter of everything I do, and probably most importantly the money provider of our life.

As we encountered our 6 month mark of living in Amsterdam yesterday I realized it is time to stop talking about making a blog and actually start documenting the adventures we encounter on a daily basis.  Even if we are the only ones who ever read this blog, we will have our memories (whether triumphant or a failure) in writing.  I hope we obtain a few followers along the way who can enjoy our experiences and adventures along with us.  So it is time to buckle up and get ready for the blog of our ever-changing lives to BEGIN!
