Saturday thoughts.

I can't do anything these days except for think of houseboating.  Houseboat accessories!  Pets on houseboats!  Mini storage areas for houseboats!  Ridiculous.

Just know, though, that our pets will be wearing something similar to this.

If not only for safety, but also for our personal amusement.  Because, really, what is the point of having a pet if you can't laugh at how awkward they feel during dress up time?  Yes, this has happened in our house recently.

So has this.

Anyway.  I'm pretty sure that I will become an old man by the time that this adventure comes to fruition.  Yes, I did just find and fall in love with Houseboating Magazine.  I can't help it.  This will be awesome.

Introductions go in this post.

Hello there. This is a new blog. I'll get through the awkward first post and just lay it out: this blog will be a collaboration between my girlfriend and me, and I don't really know what kinds of things will be posted here. I do know some things, and they are:

1. Girlfriend and I are making the move from Texas to Boston in two months.
2. I have never been to Boston.
3. I'm very excited about this move. I've lived in Texas fooooorrrreeeeevvveeerrr and I'm so ready to move on and try something new.
4. We have recently decided that we are going to be building a houseboat over the next couple of years. And then we are going to live on it.
5. We've told a handful of people about Houseboat Plan 2013 and have gotten a handful of "you're nuts" reactions. Our moms think we're pretty cool, though.
6. There will be a lot of posts about Houseboat. We are both very excited about this.
7. It will roughly look like this:

 8. Our houseboat will be cooler than that, because we're cooler than that.

 There you have it.
