Gretchen enters John's world!

Hello, world. This is John's new wife speaking.

Less than a month after his last post in January, 2008, our relationship became official. For the next several months, it became clear that God was leading us to one another, and we became engaged on 10/09/08, an exciting number for two math-lovers in addition to being John's 30th birthday. And nearly three months ago now, we were married in the little church where we both grew up by our dear, dear Pastor. As a new, joyful member of married life, I have now "hacked" into John's blog and purpose to take up blogging myself . . . you can expect some very feminine-minded posts in the days ahead. But I'll ask my husband's permission before I officially start. [I don't think he'll mind. He's just that kind of guy. :-)]

Baked beans and spam, O signal of bachelorhood, I salute you . . . I salute you goodbye!
