So Ryan and I decided that since we are “starting our life together” in a couple of months we should consider starting a joint blog. I have had my xanga blog for years now, and I have to admit that the idea of moving somewhere else was both frightening (how will people find me?! Will I have things to say?! (HA! Like that’s ever a problem.)), and exhilarating. I’m excited to start something new, and I think this will be good for us. Based on past blogging activity I think I can say confidently that there will be a lot more “Becky content” on here than “Ryan content.” But he has important things to say too, and putting it on a blog that people will keep reading (hopefully) because we keep it updated (hopefully) will help make sure that it gets seen (hopefully).

I’m sure that as time goes by this blog will develop. Maybe we will get ambitious and do some awesome formatting. Maybe it will become popular (but probably not). Who knows.

For those that are wondering, the totally serial name is kind of an inside joke around our house (although it was a very public show that first used the phrase). To keep the explanation simple and short, let’s just say that we are fans of South Park, and Al Gore was parodied on the show and kept saying “totally serial” instead of “totally serious.” For some reason, Ryan, Sam and I have picked it up as a joking way to say that we are telling the truth or are serious about something. When Ryan and I were thinking about titles for a website (we are hoping to have more than just the blog, eventually), the phrase occurred to us. We liked the double-meaning (get it; “serial” – like blog entries?? We are dorks, we know.), and we like the funny aspect. Plus it was available (no small thing, that is).

So, that is the story of the site. And now, here we are.

And after all that, I need some ice cream. Doesn’t DQ deliver? ;-)
