			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So Ryan and I decided that since we are &#8220;starting our life together&#8221; 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&#8217;s ever a problem.)), and exhilarating. I&#8217;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 &#8220;Becky content&#8221; on here than &#8220;Ryan content.&#8221; 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).</p>
<p>I&#8217;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.</p>
<p>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&#8217;s just say that we are fans of South Park, and Al Gore was parodied on the show and kept saying &#8220;totally serial&#8221; instead of &#8220;totally serious.&#8221; 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; &#8220;serial&#8221; &#8211; like blog entries?? We are dorks, we know.), and we like the funny aspect. Plus it was available (no small thing, that is).</p>
<p>So, that is the story of the site. And now, here we are.</p>
<p>And after all that, I need some ice cream. Doesn&#8217;t DQ deliver? ;-)</p>
