Introducing Alex & Kate

Hi!  We just wanted to use our first posting to introduce ourselves a little so you could get to know the authors.  We are a couple in their 20's living in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.  We are both recent college graduates from Cardinal Stritch University.  That being the case, we are poor (thanks Cardinal Stritch!), but we still enjoy life.  We do that through a variety of avenues, whether it be hosting game nights, taking advantage of outings in Milwaukee, partaking in a delicious meal (or 20), or however we can find ways to have a good time within our budget. Now, we don't mean to brag, but we've become pretty damn good at doing this.  Seriously, we are probably number 1 in the country at doing this.  It is a gift of ours.  And, we have decided it is a gift of ours we want to share with the world.  Well, what better way to share our gift with the world then the internet?  That magical collection of tubes that connects us all via facebook, twitter, google +, or if you real old school, friendster!

So, now you know we want to share our gift of enjoying life via a blog.  How do we plan on doing that you ask?  (If you haven't asked yourselves that yet, please take a moment to do so now.  Done it yet?  How 'bout now?  Good!)  We're glad you asked!  We want to use our blog to talk about games that we enjoy and that are good for game nights.  Also, as a young couple in Milwaukee, we want to share great ideas for couples so you the reader, can go out on legendary dates in Milwaukee without breaking the bank.  Different people have different interests, but everyone has to eat.  Accordingly, we thought this blog might also be a useful place to share our journey into the world of learning to cook and where the good places are to go out to eat.  (mmmm...food *drool*)  In addition, we wanted to offer our opinions and suggestions on activities around Milwaukee, whether it be a play, the museum, maybe the art museum has a cool exhibit, or maybe there is just something really cool going on.  Whatever it is, we wanted to have a central place for you to go to learn about it!  Another thing we noticed is we are coming to our point in our lives where our friends and families our pushing out babies left and right.  When shopping for gifts, we noticed there are lots of gift ideas for babies from mom, dad, grandma and grandpa.  Even aunties have gift ideas out there.  What there aren't a lot of are gift ideas for uncles.  That being the case, we wanted to help you become the most awesome uncle you can be! Alex has 7 nephews and nieces now and so he has had some practice at being an awesome uncle.  Finally, we wanted to just share miscellaneous things that may not fit anywhere else.  Maybe there is interesting news about our area or maybe we just thought of something you, our loyal readers, might find interesting.  Whatever it is, we can share it here.

Now, we just shared a lot with you.  You are probably stunned.  No, it was not Harry Potter stunning you with a stupefy spell.  That stunned feeling you have is because of the awesomeness that you are going to experience while reading our blog.  And it's okay, it's to be expected.  So shake off that stunned feeling and prepare yourself to read and learn about a ton of really cool things, right here in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
