It all began with a kiss

We decided to start this blog so that we can have a little couple project to work on amidst our busy days and lazy days. Also, I personally hope this blog can warm me up to the idea of planning a wedding in Tucson and be an outlet when I am stressed and overworked.

We came across a couple names for this blog. Blake first suggested that we should pay tribute to our red cars. In fact, an entire set of our engagement pictures are devoted to the cars. Not to mention, our relationship (or acquaintanceship) started as he drove me around in his R32, blasting some indie music and raving the engine, while I was sleeping with mouth agape in the passenger seat, apparently unimpressed.

Then, in a moment of divine inspiration, I had an idea. My train of thought went like this: we got hitched -> we're hitched hikers -> in a crusade along the unknown train of my wedding gown, or metaphorically, the milky way. So here we are now. Two Aspiring hitched-hikers' guide to the galaxy.

I love the idea. So does Blake. In fact, he loves it so much that he started this blog venture right away. An hour later, we had our first post, a gadget bar, some cool font, and a clementine color scheme (*update 07/31: back to black) .

Indeed, Blake and I are "hitched" hikers. As we often put it, we "stumbled upon" each other. We couldn't be any more different, yet we have come half way around this world to fall in love.

Last week, I got my driver's license, after one harmless fight, two failed attempts, and Blake's numerous coaching and early rises. Now I have my "multi-pass" to keep wandering and drifting, and luckily I have Blake to keep me out of trouble.

Travel safely in the unhinged universe.
