Rules of the blog

To help ensure we don't fall into the blog traps that we have feared so much up to this point, there are a few rules we have established.
1. No exclamation points (exceptions: births, deaths, job offers)
2. No use of specific words such as awesome, girlers, Powell, or chillin
3. No pictures with lame poses
4. No complaining
5. No bragging
6. No spouse bashing or spouse shout-outs
7. No shout-outs in general
8. No embarrassingly personal posts
9. No extremely long posts that actually belong in a journal
10. No pictures of our kids unless we have some

There are a few guarantees about our blog that we want to stop but probably won't be able to.
1. There will be soapboxes
2. There will be boring updates
3. There will be lots of pictures with not a lot of text
4. There will be attempts at humor that might not work out
5. We might offend you but we don't want to
