Getting Started

So, after months and months of procrastination, we launch our family blog. Honestly, I have no idea how this is going to go. This may be the first and last post, or it could be the beginning of a fun way to journal and to keep our friends from afar updated on our adventures.

A good friend of ours who worked in advertising once introduced us to the term "Aspirational Athletes." Neither of us understood the term, but once it was explained to us, it stuck with us as a brilliant concept that applies to us in so many ways. You see, and "Aspirational Athlete" is someone targeted by companies like Nike, Adidas, etc. who sees themself as an athlete, and will purchase the gear needed by an athlete, but isn't really an athlete, and most times will just let the gear they purchased rot in a corner. Make sense? In the years since learning this term, we have determined that we are Aspirational Athletes, Adventurers, Chefs, Foodies, Travelers, and Bloggers. With the launch of "Our Life in the Nittany Valley" we hope to cease being Aspirational Bloggers and become real bloggers. And maybe we'll find through our writings that we are also actual athletes, adventurers, chefs, foodies or travelers...
