Drumroll please…

Okay, wow, so ANOTHER blog to read, woot!! I know you are sucked in and totally jonesing for some new material, so what should you expect here?

1) This is NOT Jelly’s blog!! This is NOT Hawk’s blog!! This is a couples blog brought to you courtesy of Jelly and Hawks, errr Hawks and Jelly, ummm team Jawks? Well anywho, we’ll work that out later, it is going to be from US, the couple.

2) We are NOT going to post as often… :o. Gone are the days of multiple same day posts, we have tentatively agreed to try to post every three days, alternating between us. We might post more often, we might post less often, but it isn’t going to be a constant stream of content like you are used to during the hey day of the Stew.

3) We are going to post a combination of both RL and SL *aghast*. I know it is violating some sort of universal law to talk about RL stuff, but we are one of those unique couples who met in SL and are now making a go of it in the Real World. We are going to bring you along for the ride.

4) We are asking you to be an active reader. We want your comments, feedback, interaction, and participation on this blog. The more we hear from you, the more fun you will have being a part of our growing family of readers and friends.

Okay, let’s get the party started.

O hai n welcum!

So we have moved to the new home (err blog) and I can’t tell you how much it means to me to be bloggity bloggin’ again. Time in SL for me has gotten a lot shorter & I am finding it hard at times to keep my RL & SL separated now. What does that mean for you? Well, it means that this blog *will* have some RL mixed in to it as well as SL… kinda like eggs & flour, but we’ll try to continue to keep it as interesting and as relevant as completely possible. Does that work for you? Not like you have much of a choice. Hah!

In this first intro type post I’d like to give some SL/RL background info. As most of you know Hawks & I have been a couple in SL since May 2007. Wowzers! Almost a year? I know, right. It seems crazy sometimes, even to me. Anyroo, things progressed from just being the bloggity bloggers, tringo’ers, and DJs that we were, into being united in RL last month (Feb 08′). A lot of our close friends know the story but do you? Never fear, I’ll tell ya. That way the class is all on the same page. See how sweet I am?

Hawks & I were friends for awhile in SL, and tringo rivals. Even though I swear he didn’t make me tingle, he became one of my bestest friends, my muse, #1 fan & my heart. We moved our virtual re’ship to the real world recently when I moved from Hawaii to Kansas. Now we are living blissfully in separate homes but couldn’t be closer. There ya have it.

Now let’s get to some bloggin!
