Hello! To set the backdrop for this blogging of our lives I suppose introductions are in order; our names are Jillian and Evan and we are Michiganders (Midland/Traverse City, respectively) who currently live in Chinle, Arizona. This small reservation town is located in NE Arizona and is surrounded by canyons, mesas, buttes and plateaus striated with every color imaginable. It is a land that lays open to inspection, displaying the earth's history as it has been both constructed and carved since its birth.
Chinle itself is a small, rural town located at the mouth of a spectacular canyon. In fact, this whole area is highlighted by the majestic and mysterious Canyon de Chelly, which houses ancient cliff dwellings (Anasazi), family farms, orchards and epic cliff walls. This is a glittering landscape that provides daily reminders of how sacred this planet truly is, and is the sacred home of people who know how to appreciate and worship it as such.
The main goal of our blog is that we will be able to more easily share our experiences with our friends and family. It is difficult for us to live life "merrily down the stream", so far away from the people that we have known and loved for so many years. With luck (and if we can find the gumption) this blog will document our own adventures and travels, as well as the major chapters and events in the lives of those we love, and of course the things in life that makes us LAUGH and CRY and THINK the most.
Truth be told, there is no plan for what this will be so please bare with us as we plod along through the blogosphere for the first time.
