Under Construction

I wanted to start a blog about Jared and I starting our lives together. Facebook and I have a love/hate relationship- some things are too exciting not to share but, do I really want my 9th grade journalism teacher and first boyfriend, or that frienemy from choir to know? Ummm not really.

So here is the blog! Catchy name, eh?

There are only 46 days left as a Cooper! All day I've been signing my name on work documents and each time I sign the curly letters "C-O-O-P..." I think... "Wow, Shade is going to be hard to get used to". The crooked S and harsh transition between the H and the A is enough to give me those butterflies. It's that or the fact that the symbolism of a last name change means many more life changes. I'm ready for the adventures. Life as a Shade is going to be anything but ordinary!

This first post is going to be short and sweet but I hope to write at least once a week. You can share your thoughts in the comments section!
