So, I'll start by saying that loving Ashley Bourguet has been the greatest, yet most rewarding challenge I have ever faced. How many of you reading this blog can say that they are married to the coolest, sexiest, most interesting person you have ever met? I can! Those who know us, whether through social media, face-to-face friendship, or whatever, know us as simply John and Ashley. We do what we do. We work, we play, we travel, we cycle, we garden, we don't eat animals, we backpack, we sleep in the woods, we love each other like no other. But, until recently, it has been just that...John and Ashley.
Then, the question was asked (I won't say who asked it), "what will Ashley do when John is gone." Well, John doesn't plan on going anywhere anytime soon. But, he is an old fart, likely to depart this spherical, orbiting place we call earth many years before Ashley. Couple that with the fact that Ashley would (and will) be the coolest mom a kid could ever have, and you understand how we are where we are today. She deserves this! We deserve this!
So...where is that? It's a place where things are not done naturally. A place where natural order is disrupted. Uteruses are evaluated, ovaries are stimulated, testicles are violated, and ultimately...hopes and dreams are cultivated.
We don't have confirmation yet, but we are hopeful and confident that we are about to start a family that extends well beyond "John and Ashley". We are excited about the opportunity, humbled by the challenge, and stand ready to step up to the plate and offer this world an addition that is open minded, socially responsible, and well-grounded in the principles of virtue and morality.
More interesting details of our journey will emerge as this blog grows. I'll just leave it at that. For now, just sit back, relax, and enjoy this journey with us.
