The two sisters

The oldest, B, and her husband recently made the move out West from the Carolinas. They are getting accustomed to life in the country and becoming a student once again for the mister. The youngest, A, and her husband made a short move within the Carolinas for the mister to once again, become a student.

When we both found ourselves in similar situations - moving and the misters going back to school - but far apart from one another, we thought a blog would be a great way to still do something together and for family and friends to keep up with us. Follow us as we share our love for cooking, the great outdoors, and home.

You better believe it...

Warning: if you don't like sappy, sweet, lovey-dovey things, skip this post.

I warned you...

Remember how I mentioned here that Wes was doing law school prep while at the beach? Let me rephrase that: Wes was studying from 6am - 6pm each day while we were at the beach. He has been on that schedule every single day since his last day of work and every free weekend since we made the decision to take on this new adventure of going back to school. You are probably wondering why he is studying so much when he hasn't even started school. Well it is because my dedicated and determined husband wants to practice patent law as it is a perfect fit with his engineering background and degrees. In addition to the state bar, you have to take the patent bar to become a patent attorney. Individuals with a technical degree are allowed to take the exam at any time. The pass rate for this exam is 50%. Folks, these are engineers taking this exam and the pass rate is 50%. Needless to say it is tough (so I've heard) and you should expect to take it 2-3 times before passing. Well, not my man! He took it today and passed...on the first try...before starting law school...without any law background!

I'm done, I promise. I just had to brag.
