Welcome to Wasabi Kneesocks!

LINCOLN, NEBRASKA—Years ago, a dashing young man abandoned everything he knew and loved and held dear to his heart—his friends, his family, his preconceptions—and boarded a vessel to take him to uncharted territories. While there, he experienced adventures that others couldn't even begin to believe; adventures that tickled his mind, teased his tastebuds, and, occasionally, tortured his toesies. He came, he saw, he conquered, he left, he realized he left something there, he went back, he found the thing, he left again, and he lived to tell about it all.

This is not that story.

However, this is the story of a couple who met, fell in love, broke up with the people they were dating, began a year-long long-distance relationship, moved across the country to each other, found jobs, got engaged, finished college, planned a wedding, sold off everything they owned, got married, briefly honeymooned, and ran away to Taiwan for a couple years.* It's a story that, after reading it completely through, will make you laugh, make you cry, and earn you at least 67,344 Frequent Flier Miles. You're welcome.

In all seriousness, welcome to our blog. Lisa and I are going to do our best to keep up with this thing, if not to entertain you, so we may be able to go back years from now and giggle at the adventuresome time we had. There will be a lot of cool and fun stories about our transition to young, single kids to married world-travelers that we'll relay on this, so I hope you stay tuned and enjoy the ride with us. Take luck!
