We hope to become homeowners and start a family within the next three years. While we want to do this the right way, the recent instability in the housing market has made that goal seem much more daunting--especially in Northern Virginia, where homes are already expensive. This is why we are asking for your help in building our nest egg. Your contributions--large or small--will help us start this next chapter on solid ground.

For our honeymoon, we will travel to Munich, Germany, to see some of its many wonderful Christmas markets during the week of December 19. This trip will be Bill's first outside of North America, and with your help we can make it a memorable one!
