A Fruitful Beginning

One month down, many more to go!
Feel free to note Sintos rockin' the striped shirt, plaid pants and argyle socks:) And the fact that sometimes he calls me Sintos now too!

Our first month as the Sintoses has been filled with excitement, both expected and not--and we can't believe four weeks have already passed by! We live in a loft in Atlanta, play ultimate together, cook up fun meals, watch Netflix films and unpack boxes. And we are loving taking every step of this new life together! So we've designated this little space on the World Wide Web to record small slices of the Sintos life. 

We don't claim this site to be a fascinating compendium of intriguing and beguiling tales and tidbits, but we hope you'll come visit often in any case (and comment!).   
Our first post takes us to our new love for driving to see Bryan's family in Clearwater, Florida. Once the most grueling, monotonous drives down I-75, we now have a new landmark to love to keep us trudging along the way. A sunny spot to the reading capital of the world (good ol' Tifton, Ga): Rutland Farms, home of the best strawberries I've every laid eyes upon sunk my teeth into!

These big red berries remind me of a book I used to read growing up: The Little Mouse, the Red Ripe Strawberry, and the Big Hungry Bear (a classic need anyone need some light reading...or have a three-year-old to use an excuse). They are also giving us a reason to make as many strawberry-filled dishes as possible (next possible post, the strawberry spinach salad?).
While the circumstances of our trip to Florida were undeniably unpleasant after just two weeks of marriage, we were so very blessed our jobs and schedules allowed us the chance to be with Bryan's mom after the passing of her mother. As the first big event to happen after joining our lives together, there was no question as to whether or not we would do everything we could to support our family.

 After the unplanned trip to the South of Florida, we were more than excited to experience the unexpected find of 2,100 acres of homegrown goodness with a beautiful vision to match: Preserve and enhance the value of the land for current and future generations by providing exceptional products and services to our customers that emphasize "family, food, and recreation."

Cheers to our new beginning--may it be even more fruitful

I posted a comment but blogger deleted it! I LOVE the strawberry pictures, can't wait for the spinach salad recipe :) Also don't let Joe see this picture, once I wouldn't let him wear a plaid shirt with striped shorts, and I will never hear the end of it! :)
