So Long, and Thanks for all the Comments
You may have been wondering why “The Traveling Newlyweds” is still alive and well, even though Brendan and I aren't technically traveling right now. The short reason is that we love this blog and enjoy taking subtle (and not-so-subtle) digs at each other in front of all you lovely people. It's been a ball, really.
But we aren't really “The Traveling Newlyweds” anymore. We're just a couple folks in an in-between stage of our lives, looking for work and eating a lot of microwave burritos. Unemployment isn't quite as exciting as crossing the Bali Strait during a monsoon, especially from a relationship perspective. So we're hanging up the hat here, at least for now.
I'd love to bust back onto iVillage in another form down the road, and I hope that if and when that happens, you'll come visit us again. Until then, thank you so much for your support, well-wishes, and advice. If want to keep up with us online, I'm still blogging regularly, and if Brendan gets bored enough, he may even start one up too. I wouldn't hold your breath, though. He watches an awful lot of baseball.
Take care, everyone.

Dudes, I love ya. Youse my dogs. Holla
I would love for Brendan to start up an everyday blog, the things he wrote here were great. Don't confuse him anymore with those weird Web 2.0 names like Tumblr and Twitter. Perhaps a good ol' fashioned typepad blog will be easy enough. Write about baseball, maybe I'll start the enjoy it more.

so much for the trip experience.

I adore your blog!
My photographer is having a fabulous/not-so fabulous wedding contest on her blog. Newlyweds offer amazing advice and stories about their weddings. For some people, itâs what they really wish they had done differently.
Please read my entry, number 7 and post a comment on my entry to help me win a wedding photo on canvas.

Was the split over baseball? Maybe looking for work or just having one car? Bitterness can and will destroy a marriage. We need to forgive, marriage is a commitment. I don't know how or what all happened but this saddens me. Please work it out!
Love your blog. Reading what you said about microwave burritos made me want to ask you and other newlyweds out there:
Do you sometimes cook with mixes and then tell your guests (or spouse!) that you cooked the dish from scratch?
When you get the chance, please respond to this survey at my blog: http://mixandcook.com/
It's a little project... a way for me to share
easy-to-make recipes and hopefully, get some of yours. Check out my site and don't forget to read the About Mix and Cook link, where I talk about Debra and Marie of the defunct series Everybody Loves Raymond. Suffice it to say, I'm the Debra!
Just looking back at this blog I use to read religiously... why did they split up? It was wonderful to see them travel the world together. That sucks!
good thing you split. i'm 21 and the magnitude of immaturity this blog shows the relationship is saturated with is laughable even to me. i'm amazed it even lasted as long as it did. great blog, no doubt, invaluable learning experience. but mind bogglingly insensitive, selfish, petty, and naive through almost all of it. i cannot wrap my mind around why people so much as get ENGAGED in under a year, let well alone married. you do not know a person you've known for one year. period. no exceptions. people are idiots with marriage these days. really.
Gee Visitor... Tell us how you really feel!
visitor,
at 31, i'd like to say that I've never agreed with a blog comment more completely than yours. you have amazing powers of observation and commentary... at 21..jeez, i'm in awe, and ten years late.
