For this first post, we wanted to provide a brief introduction.  In the long-term, I suppose people will ignore this post and just skip to the About Us page, but you, lucky reader, are about to get something better.  So, here goes.

This blog is titled “An Engineer Met a Teacher” because it’s really postings from two people:  Keith, an engineer, and Mary, a teacher.  They met (ta-da! a blog title) and got married, and lo and behold, the blog was born–many years later and with a heck of a lot more wisdom than the wedding day.  The reality of the situation is that this blog might be nothing more than a short-term creative outlet, or it could be a long-term way to share what we’ve learned as we’ve gone through life (down two sometimes very different paths).

OK, and now what are we going to write about?

Keith is an automation engineer or control systems engineer or whatever you like to call it.  While his postings will reflect these nerd leanings, he’ll actually be writing about learning how to be a father and all the things he continues to try to learn about the world (e.g., baking, taking care of a home, how to take care of your wife after your kids wipe out all your free time :), etc.).

Mary is a teacher, currently a stay at home mom.  As an elementary teacher for the past 7.5 years, she has really seen education change.  She will be shedding a positive light on the subject of education. She will delve into general motherhood topics and strategies she is trying out to keep things going at home as well as share some posts about topics with Keith.

That’s the basics about us.  We hope that you’ll come back and check out our future posts!
