Our First Blog

Well, with much influence from our friends we have decided to create a blog to keep our family and friends updated on our lives in the big city.  

Here is a little history lesson for everyone.

We have dated for many years (since high school) and just became engaged in April.  Alex is a law school student at The John Marshall Law School here in Chicago.  Next week he will begin his second year of law school.  He graduated from Purdue in 2007 with a degree in management and because of his background in business he is wanting to pursue corporate law.  His expected graduation date will be the spring of 2010.  

Jackie is getting ready to begin her first year of teaching kindergarten after graduating from Purdue in 2008 in Elementary Education.  She is teaching at Archer Heights on the southwest side of Chicago in a brand new double elementary and high school learning complex.  School for Jackie starts on September 15 because the cafeteria and gymnasium are not completed.  She will have to complete three weeks of training before the grand opening of her new school on September 12.  Good Luck, Jackie!!!!!!

That is all for now.  Sorry we don't have any pictures to put up yet, but the camera won't work on a Mac.  Add us to your favorites and check up on us every once in awhile!!
