For hire.

Okay, I'm back.

Actually, we arrived home on Thanksgiving after driving two days straight in the storms. So why have I been so quiet? Well, I just didn't want to announce my presence until we had finished our little online travel journal project that we had planned to make.

So, here it is.

Ben wrote the entries and I took the photographs. I intended to write journal entries while on the road, but I really hate writing with a pen or pencil. So, you'll have to just read what Ben has to say. Trust me, we have pretty much the same opinion on everything.

That sounds really co-dependent, but really, how do you survive two weeks of 24/7 contact without having pretty much the same opinions?

During the past 3 months, I don't think Ben and I have been apart for more than three hours. While this statistic is probably enough to scare most couples, I'm more concerned with the fact that we're going to have to learn how to live a life less-conjoined.

You see, in September, we both lost our jobs. And, it's probably unavoidable that we'll have to find new ones at two different companies.

Let me just say that although we're not particularly frightened yet, there is something seriously messed up when there is absolutely no income flowing through a household.

Oh well.

Life goes on and most everything works out.

This is of course, the fully-rested Mena speaking.

But really, it's not that bad.

And, really, despite the fact that we stayed in B&Bs and spent time comparing which French Toast we liked best, we're really not snobs and are certainly frugal. Re-reading some of Ben's posts, I think "God, I'd really hate these people," but we're not that bad.

We don't even drink wine if that says anything!

The journal and photos are simply lovely. And I hope you both have a relatively easy time finding new employment!

lovely pictures. what kind of camera do you use?

The camera is a Fuji Finepix 1400.

It's a pretty lower-end digital camera, but it serves me fairly well.
