The Beginning

I have never blogged before. (And I wonder how many blogs start with that first sentence?) My husband suggested I start this blog because of everything that we have gone through, are going through, as a married couple with just one of us in grad school. He said I can be completely honest and up front about everything, I wonder if he really means that....
My husband is near the end of his first year of a five year PhD program in Comparative Literature. I am working for a non-profit agency as an AmeriCorps member. Put the two together and it equals lots of stress and not much time for breathing and enjoying life.
This first year of grad school has been challenging, amazing, and really really hard. This is our second year of marriage and I can say for sure that it has echoed the same attributes.
My vision for this blog (I am saying this for future me to look back on) is to share how we are succeeding, and failing at this thing called Graduate school life.
Wish me luck!
