Welcome to Monkey Butt Junction!
In retrospect, it sure sounds like it was a terrible idea: My husband and I met on Myspace, got matching tattoos on our first date, and just six weeks after we met uprooted a life to move 2200 miles away, all in the name of love. Now we’re married, we’re parents, and we’re living a life unlike anything we ever dreamed. With old-fashioned values in our hearts, we talk about natural parenting, healthy living and homesteading.
Our cast of characters:
Jenn – Full time working mom, former anti-runner turned aspiring runner, author of the blog, a little on the crunchy side, and a wannabe passable gardener.
Dan – Stay at home superdad, transplanted from beautiful sunny California to beautiful chilly Wisconsin. He loves it here, really.
Smooch.
Jack – The light of our lives, and the kid with the best hair on the block military haircut thanks to a hot, hot summer.
Our great “how we met” story.
Myspace. We met on Myspace.com in 2007. I flew across the country so we could meet in person, and we got matching tattoos the day we met. Four years, 2200 miles, and one beautiful baby later, here we are.
Why Monkey Butt Junction?
Catchy, isn’t it? Dan, in all his romantic sensibility, thinks that Monkey Butt is a great pet name for his wife. Amazingly, I haven’t killed him yet. It’s a good thing he’s handsome.
