First Entry

While it is tempting for me to begin this blog starting upon birth for me in Beverly, MA and Soraya in Buenos Aires, I just won't have the time... Given that, this blog will strive to provide information on what we have done recently, are presently and will be in the future. We will work to provide pictures and stories (I am sure there will be many of them) as we travel internationally as well as transcontiental.

General Overview of the upcoming year. As of November 24 Soraya and I began our life together married in the eyes of our friends, family and God. As we move forward, we will see a variety of places in the U.S. and abroad to introduce Soraya to various parts of the U.S. and Navy life.
