Welcome to Life and Times!

Today we start into the world of internet blogging and giving you all a more detailed look at the life and times of Mandy, Bryce, and how could we forget Russell!  The idea for this came from a conversation I was having with one of Bryce's co-workers regarding a travel blog for our upcoming trip to Italy.  I thought, what better time to start a blog!  For several years I have followed several good friend's blog sites which I have really enjoyed - hopefully I am able to keep up and provide updates regularly.  That is to assume though that our lives are interesting enough for people to follow :)  In the coming weeks I will provide a loose itinerary for our trip so that for those of you who care, can have a good idea where we are during our 10 days in Italy.  Hopefully (provided we can find internet service), we will work to update the blog while we are on our trip to give you a flavor of our experiences.  So excited!  Now if I can just survive the next 2 weeks at work.....

Why Life and Times??

As a kid, my mom (like many other moms) documented my brother and I's lives via the "dinosaur".  Also known as the giant video recording device one had to hold on their shoulder.  Birthday parties, sleepovers, tee-ball, soccer, volleyball, football, skiing, vacations, you name it, we have it on tape.  This amounted to hundreds of VHS tapes - all labeled "Life and Times of Mandy and Aaron...insert year"  Now I am sure this site won't be half as entertaining as the old videos but we will see what we can do. 

Love,
Mandy
