“Leah’s” Door (About Our New House)

On October 26, 2019 By JeffIn Relationships2 Comments

Last Easter Leah and I closed on our first house. It's a fixer-upper, which we bought despite being warned by friends who in the past also bought fixer-uppers. But hey! Everyone’s doing it, and our parents all did the same, and so far it has been a joy. Without getting too into the intricacies of …

Dating My (Future) Wife in New Mexico

On June 18, 2018 By JeffIn Relationships2 Comments

New Mexico has some glorious sights: White Sands National Monument is probably my favorite, where the landscape looks snow-covered (and which allows for “sledding”), and Carlsbad Caverns National Park is the best cave system I’ve ever been to. And I love cave systems. New Mexico was “the end of the line” for the great Jeff-and-Leah …

Dating My (Future) Wife in Arizona

On April 8, 2018June 21, 2018 By JeffIn RelationshipsLeave a comment

In the summer of our big road trip Leah and I left Utah for Arizona. And we were in love. I know we were in Arizona because of the road signs and GPS, and I know we were in love because we’d both had been camping for weeks and hadn’t showered. And at least I …

Dating My (Future) Wife in Utah

Now for all the good pictures! Utah is a gorgeous state, and one which Leah and I thoroughly enjoyed on our drive from Oregon to New Mexico. The first sight of note we stopped at was Bryce Canyon, which I had never been to. Bryce has breathtaking views, and, even in late May it can …

Dating My (Future) Wife in Idaho

On March 20, 2018June 21, 2018 By JeffIn RelationshipsLeave a comment

Here’s something interesting I heard: if you ironed Idaho flat, it would be the largest of all the lower forty-eight states. I spent far too long on the internet trying to verify that “fact,” and though I can’t be completely sure, it seems true. From personal experience I can tell you that Idaho is very …

Dating My (Future) Wife in Washington

On March 13, 2018June 21, 2018 By JeffIn Relationships5 Comments

After picking up Leah in Portland we drove east. This is part dos of how we started dating, which is the partial result of a big road trip we took. Just like I’ll tell my future kids to study abroad (it’s the best way to meet a spouse), I’ll also tell them that when they …

Dating My (Future) Wife in Oregon

On March 7, 2018June 21, 2018 By JeffIn Relationships4 Comments

So how do you ensure that you keep talking to the woman of your dreams, after reestablishing contact, after you haven’t talked for almost twelve years? Well clearly you call, text, Skype, and email, and then you invite the woman of your dreams to move your car with you. Or at least that’s what I …
