introduce yourself!

We've picked up some new young love friends recently and we're so glad you all are here! 
Truly. 

We both are consistently surprised and touched by your comments and the fact that you are interested enough to follow this little blog. It's not unusual for me to yell for Chas to come read a particularly thoughtful/funny comment. Honestly, even knowing that you're taking the time out of your busy life to write something after a sometimes silly little post is amazing to me. 

Please know that I don't take any of your comments or any of our followers for granted. Every bit of it means so much and has become such a fulfilling and satisfying experience for me. 

And that's thanks to you. 

I wish I could know more about you!
You, who I really only know through this magical place called the interweb. 

So I thought we could play a little get-to-know-you game because we all know how much everyone loooooooves those games.

First, I'll tell you a little about me: 

I'm Sam. 
I'm an art therapist, an artist, college professor, blogger, and writer. 
But mostly, I'm a partner in love, silliness, and cheeseburger consuming with Chas. 
I am sensitive and I like it that way. 
I love my family and wish I had a better relationship with one of my sisters. 
I could eat homemade rolls and jam for the rest of my life and not be mad about it. 

Then Chas will tell you about him: 

My name is Chas (short for Charles).
I'm a filmmaker. 
I have eight siblings.
As a kid, I pretended I was colorblind so I could be like my colorblind brothers. 
I like sports- both real and fantasy. 
After a long day at work, I'll ride Scoots home while listening to TMBG and singing along loudly.

And now it's your turn to tell us about YOU!

Ready.
Steady. 
Go-y.

Hi Sam and Chas!

I just started following your blog and I love it!! But not in a creepy, stalker way...I promise.

I am a wife, child life specialist, runner and lover of cats. Even though my husband hates them.
I'm addicted to ice cream and buying new books. If I could read books while eating ice cream all day, I would be in heaven. I also love babies (or as I call them "noodles") and going on adventures in south florida with my hubs.
And now I feel like we've totally met so my obsession with your blog is now completely normal.

Erin Tustin said...

Hi!

I'm a relatively new follower!
My name is Erin, I'm 25, and I'm originally from Philly but now I live in Central Massachusetts and am getting into this New England thing.

I taught myself html when I was 12 and blogged through the start of college, but then I just fell out of it. I'm just recently getting back into it and finding the game has changed a lot!

I'm a photographer but I work in conservation with old books and photographs instead of with live subjects and landscapes.

I love vintage, music, animals, and all things cute. I'm working on buying less and buying used when I do. My blog is about having fun and making outfits without spending much money.

Between 2008 and 2010 I moved from Florida to Massachusetts to Washington State. (adventuresunday.com)

I write about it, here: doneandalsodone.blogspot.com

Catherine said...

I just started following you yesterday! y'all are so cute!

And I'm growing a "little cryings"!(I love that you call it that :D)
Thanks for being an awesome blogger!

Lexie said...

Hey guys! I'm a new follower but I'm already completely in love with your blog and think we should be friends forever :)

I'm Lexie, currently a full time student (nursing, planning to become a midwife) and employed full time by an environmental company. Yes, I save the environment and what not.
I'm also, much more importantly, future wife of E and momma to one adorable teddy bear hamster named Capucine (she's French... or something).
I am really, truly, an East Coast girl, born and raised in New England.
I am the oldest of three girls, currently stuck living on the opposite side of the country from my family and it is HARD.
I love to cook, bake, clean, primp, and generally pretend that I'm a character on Mad Men (which by the way, I was into the 50's/60's long before it became the cool thing to do and yes I hold a grudge against anyone who says "Oh, you like vintage? You must watch Mad Men!").
I don't blog. But I read tons of blogs and borrow creative ideas and giggle and wish that I could be equally awesome.
Aaand on Friday nights after work I like to eat all my stress in ice cream and then dance it out in my dancing shorts to the great dismay of my neighbors who clearly just don't own any good dancing shorts :)

Oh and one last thing? I babble. And ramble. A lot.

Heather said...

I'm Heather.
Big Dreamer, Wife to Alex, Mom to Cohen (both redheads, might I add!) I think eyebrows are the most important feature on the face. I love earl grey tea, fruit and nut chocolate bars and jumping into a cold lake after a long (or short) jog.

Anonymous said...

Hi Sam & Chas!
I'm 27 but most people think I'm 18 or 20. I'm southern and "cradle-Catholic." I am sensitive when people talk about my friends or family in a way that isn't kind. My two best friends in the world are my husband and my sister. My parents adopted my little brother -- I wish our relationship was better, but mostly it's awkward. I love photography. I'm slightly addicted to tea and coffee. My favorite color is blue. I wish I could travel for a living.

Ingrid said...

Hi guys!
I'm Ingrid. I'm just a student in 11th grade, not even 16 yet :) Most of the time I'm a big sis and friend. The things I love most is languages, observing life and charity work. I think I want study medicine. Of course I love clothes, personal style and vintage (and I don't watch Mad Men .. haha). And I listen to rock music!
Plus I live in Europe, just so you know, you have readers here, too. :)

Kesley said...

Hello!

I'm Kesley :)

I'm a redhead, full-time receptionist and college student. I'm still trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up. I'm a puppy mama to my sweet basset hound Athena. I love animals, its a huge part of who I am. I'm very into activism and sparking change in our world for the better but I would like a career in something not as serious (it makes me sad thinking about all that is wrong or needs change in the world). My little sister is my very best friend in the whole wide world. And I'm in love with the most wonderful man a girl could ask for :) Life is a beautiful thing.

simplyvonne said...

lauren jean allece said...

Hello Sam & Chas! (I loved both of your intros!)

I'm Lauren.
I'm a writer, would-be photographer & work at a winery.
I LOVE to cook (especially for my friends, they are my world).
I'm from CA but live in Portland, OR (where I found my heart home).
I believe that love can conquer everything (God & John Lennon totally nailed that one!)
I'm basically an indoor kid with an outdoor voice (but I love to play outside, rain or shine!)

Lauren said...

It's lovely that you're taking an interest in us- I feel honoured! I'm Lauren, a Canadian girl who found the man of her dreams in England, settled there, married him, and am now in the happily ever after stage. We met on a midnight train from London, so it does feel rather storybook. I love and laugh about most things related to popular culture. Some books that I really, really love include: 'The Great Gatsby,' 'Catcher in the Rye,' Diane Ackerman's 'A Natural History of the Senses' and Russell Brand's autobiographies (called 'My Booky Wook' and 'My Booky Wook Two'). I have a blog with 6 subscribers. I would really love to have some more. If you're reading this, take pity on me and check it out.

Elizabeth @ Love Is the Adventure said...

Sam and Chas,

I love reading your blog and your art is so inspiring to me.

Let's see...

I'm Elizabeth.

I'm a PhD student in a theatre department. I teach at a university. I also thrift quite a bit and I have a taste for bad 70's vinyl. If I took vitamins as regularly as I blogged, I would probably be a lot healthier.
My husband Kyle also blogs over at Love is the Adventure, mostly at my behest but he's great, anyway.

We're from Colorado but we moved to Ohio so I could go to graduate school. We miss the sunshine and the mountains but we're falling a little in love with Columbus all the same.

Alison said...

I just recently started following your blog, and I think it's just fantastic:)

I'm Alison.
I have a degree in interior design, and work as a project manager for a company that does lighting for Broadway shows.
I have an awesome husband, and a bulldog who sometimes chews holes in my walls.
I'm have an unhealthy attachment to coffee, doughnuts, and indie music duos.
I love fall and winter, and that's a pretty great thing, considering I live in Wisconsin.
I have recently been bitten by the baby bug.

Michelle said...

Hi! I'm Michelle, sometimes Meesh. I’m a born and bred Cache Valley girl. I’m currently taking a year off of school before doing Grad school for Speech-Language Pathology. I'm slightly obsessed with dresses, hair flowers and headbands, pictures, slalom skiing, and anything chocolate. I hate shoes and would prefer to be barefoot everywhere I go. I love spontaneous adventures and can be easily entertained by the smallest things. I’m currently trying to be patient in waiting for my prince charming to come along, or my best friend to finally realize we’d be perfect together.

Niken said...

I'm a college student of Communication-Journalism (and it's my final year), and i'm a film-maker too like Chas (i'm a producer assistant).in Indonesia.couples of months ago i worked in a very popular American reality show as Producer Assistant (ssttt,i can't tell you what it is yet).and some other local/national projects (which makes my research keeps getting postponed and on the 2nd place--not a good example). i'm a big book,film,music and coffee lover, who one day will be traveling all over the world.i like watching the rain from my window and smell the grass and soil scent after it. I used to write daily.but when i started college and working in film/TVC/anything audio-visual-y, it started to fade away.so i write a blog to prevent my writing soul from dying. love your blog...

Elena said...

Hiya!

I've been reading your blog for about 6 months and I adore it.

My name is Elena, I am 26, and I recently graduated from the University of Oregon with a super useful BA in history. I live in teeny tiny one bedroom apartment with my boyfriend of 2 years and all of our stuff. Right now I am a waitress but I aspire to be a WW2 and Holocaust historian and become a professor.

In my free time I am apart of a medieval anachronistic educationcal non-profit called the Society for Creative Anachronism. I also love to cook, bake, have wine nights with my friends, sew, and craft.

I am a progressive, libreal, democract and I can be kinda loud about it.

I kinda blog, but lack inspiration 99.9% of the time. I also talk a lot, have little to no filter, and I am super silly.

And I am a Hufflepuff.

The end.

Ashley said...

how fun.

Hello there, I'm Ashley. 21. I am a newlywed, and that husband of mine is my absolute best friend (and he is so cute!). I looove giraffes. Dancing and singing in the car is my idea of a good time. I am studying marketing at the U, and I blog over here: Quark

Clandestine Road said...

I do so love your blog.

I'm Angela, from nowhere because my military father moved all the time. I had the best childhood because of it. Home means family to me and I have no connection with a specific place.

I'm married to my best friend, going on ten years, and we have three amazing girls. I haven't really slept since my early twenties. I wouldn't have it any other way.

I have a master's in literature, I could read all day and then read some more, I love cooking and running, I love odd quotes from movies at possibly inappropriate times, I think squirrels are freaky, and I think the kindness and love with which you two write/regard each other is the sweetest thing.

Mishiee said...

Hi Sam and Chas! I'm a new reader, like started last week? And you two are so adorable, I just happy wiggle at your stories.

My name is My, but my nickname (sort of) is Trish, Trishie, or Mishie, haha. Long story there.
I'm currently a physiology student at SF State, hopefully done after this year.
I have no idea what I'm going to do though. Many times I wish I'd just studied english instead because I love english.
(Honestly though, I think the thing I'd want to do most of all is become a mommy.)
I'm in a long distance relationship with my childhood sweetheart for two years now. (
I secretly hope we'll be as cute as you two. <3)

Hannah said...

I'm Hannah.
I'm at BYU-I right now but I'm transferring to BYU Provo next year to do Middle East Studies.
I might be married by then.
I love to cook. Boyfriend loves it when I cook too. We both like to eat.
I lived and travelled internationally for three years. High school? Pshaw.
I love to read. And play Munchkin. But not at the same time...usually.

Saskia said...

I'm Saskia. I was born in the States but moved to the Netherlands with my Dutch parents when I was ten and have been going back and forth ever since.
I too am emotional and I don't mind, even if it does drive my boyfriend up the wall sometimes.
I go to grad school in Germany (I'm doing a PhD project on Mormon history) and cook to destress.
I look forward to the farmer's weekend every week.
And I read young people for the silly posts, especially for the silly posts.

Amanda said...

Hi I'm Amanda. (A brand new follower)

I'm a graduate student married to a Seminary professor.
I love the color purple, but I don't decorate with it, and rarely wear it.

I have a 14 year old black lab that I've had for most of my life. Her name is Promise.

My husband and I just became first time "parents" to 3 boys, ages 10, 11, and 15. My husband used to be their pastor, and since they were in need of a new home, we volunteered. Crazy? Maybe. Totally worth it? Yes.

Young People in Love said...

We have an amazing group here, huh?!

Keep 'em coming! :)

I'm hopelessly in love and devoted to my partner James who is a musician and rocks my world
I love all things Queen, am originally from England but have lived in Pennsylvania sine 15
I'm a hopeless romantic and used to play the oboe and dreamt of being in a famous symphony and traveling the work, but am happier now trying to save the world and raising my three kids with the most amazing man by my side
My favorite color is purple, my favorite desert is tiramisu and I love to cook but I can't bake to save my life!

Hello!

I'm a sophomore in highschool. I love singing, dancing, acting,blogging,laughing,eating, and smiling.

When I was little I always wanted freckles and red hair because my siblings did...but now I'm okay with it. Really.

I love fashion...but I'm no fashionista. I adore shoes, and die over puppies. I enjoy coming up with various names for said puppies. I could live off ice cream, milkshakes, cookie dough and burgers. Oh....and I talk waaaay too much...
...this just got a little awkward...xxx ;P

jessica said...

Hi! I'm Jessica and I think you two are adorable and one of the awesomest couples I know of. I've been lurking on your blog for about a week, loving every minute of it.
I write a lot. I love Doctor Who, I'm Canadian, I love Jesus, and I want to be a novelist. I also like writing things that combine all of the above.
Your blog is officially one of my favourites. I cried and giggled and teared up while I was reading through your archives. Thanks for making the world suck less. :)

Kayla said...

Hi.

My name is Kayla. I've been around for awhile but I thought I'd introduce myself again.
I am currently a BYU student studying Early Childhood Education with a minor in Music. No, I don't play any instruments (besides plunking on the piano), but I do sing.
I love my (hugemongous) family lots and lots. I've pretty much been in a state of perpetual homesickness ever since I came up here to BYU last June, because I have gone to school every semester/term since then (when people ask me why I haven't taken any time off of school, especially considering how much I miss my family, I'm always at a loss... It's just how it worked out?)
I sometimes ramble... As you can tell.
I like bright colors and picture books and I'm kind of a photography snob because my sister's a professional photographer.
I'm in a pretty cool place in my life now, feeling good about things... and I wish I had more of a creative side.
Your blog makes the world a happier place. :)

Jillian said...

I'm Jill. I'm from Perth, Western Australia and I am two-thirds of my way through a nursing degree. Hurrah! I'm a spring chicken at 18 but apparently I have an old heart (I hope people mean that metaphorically and not that it's a dodgy ole ticker). I have one sister who is five years and 334 days older than me and two parents oddly enough. Apparently I am a stickler for details too.

I am amazed and inspired by your positivity - it's awesome!

I'm Aoife, 22, and about to graduate a dual degree in Journalism and Arts.
There is gypsy blood in my family, so though I love Australia, I long to travel all over for the next few years.
I live with my boyfriend and he is an inspiration in every way. We laugh so much and he makes me feel more alive than I've felt since I was a little girl.
I love writing, being creative, and living in a spiritual way.

Hi hi!
I have to say I'm COMPLETELY intimidated by this awesomely huge list of amazing-sounding people who have commented here already. But here we go.. :)

I'm Giedre. My name is one of those crazy weird ones that comes from a country most people don't even know exists. I'm a recent bfa grad who's doing her best to prove that life with an art degree is possible. My best friend is my canon 7D and I never leave home without it. I have a habit of coming up with the craziest plans that somehow always work out and I'm always obsessively working on odd creative projects that has no real purpose other than to make me happy. :)

I love sarcasm, airports, and going into every toy store I walk past.

mrsshess said...

My name is Sarah and I've been addicted to Young People in Love for about a month.
I have a serious blog reading/kinda writing obsession and I swear my husband thinks I spend all my time on the computer (which is sorta, maybe true).
I got my Bachelor's degree in Anthropology (the best degree ever- trust me it just is) and spend nearly all my time thinking of new places/people/things I will see/meet/enjoy!
I'm rarely lost (physically), and am in my element when I'm around kids/anywhere new.
I'm a Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultant and I LOVE making women feel beautiful and worthwhile!
I love my husband and can't wait to spend the rest of my life with him!
I am glad you decided to keep your blog (sorry, I have a tendency to read newest-> oldest) and I can't wait to hear more about your awesome life!

Much Love,
Sarah Mae!
