We're getting ready to go live with our website, we've looked at the trial site a million times and sent it out to family and friends to check out for us, we made a tweak here, a tweak there and reread all the text a million times. Okay - who am I kidding - so Zach hasn't reread all the text a million times - I have though and probably driven him crazy asking, "does this sound okay... are you sure this sounds okay... maybe I should change this one word...what about this picture...should I resize this... will you look at it in every different browser available to mankind on every different computer we have access to..." I can get a little OCD sometimes. While we're being honest, I'll go ahead and put this out there - chances are Zach probably won't be writing the blog posts. Not to say he couldn't, but that's not the point of Fuse. Zach needs to work with his hands, he needs to create things and, after working in an office for a big part of the work week, the Fuse projects allow him the opportunity to pour his creativity into something quite productive. So, if you're reading this blog now and happen to decide you might come back and read it from time to time, well... then... you're stuck with me (Kelly, the K in ZaK... in case you haven't read our about page yet).
So, here's what I'm going to try and accomplish here:
I want to give everyone the opportunity to learn a little more about Zach and I, as well as give detailed updates on projects we are working on. Mostly, we'd just like anyone who's interested to be able to follow us on this journey (even though we have no idea where it may lead), without completely annoying everyone on social media. We do have a facebook, instagram and pinterest going (there's links at the bottom of our site, if you're interested in any of those), but we'll just be posting short glimpses, periodically, into what we're doing there; we'll get more into the nitty gritty here. I enjoy stalking Zach with my camera when he's working on projects in the backyard, so hopefully you'll get to see lots of good shots of Zach hard at work. I figure we can be more annoying here, because blogs aren't as in your face as facebook, you have to decide you want to come read this. But please, oh please, let me know if I'm wrong about that!
I'll start wrapping this up, basically - the entire idea behind Fuse was for Zach and I to take something we enjoy doing in our spare time and make it something more. How will you ever know how something will work out if you never try, right? There's a book that's pretty inspiring that has helped push us to get going. It's called Start by Jon Acuff - if you're looking for some inspiration. If you're reading this blog, we genuinely appreciate you taking the time to check out what we're doing. Let's get it started (and since this blog entry's title is a blatant reference to a black eyed peas song, here you go, just for fun).
