Really cool calendar!

So...let me give you a bit of background information. In our first year of marriage, the calendar and our schedule has been one of our biggest struggles. Not as much that we disagree with each other, but simply that we both feel like we overschedule ourselves often. We have tried several different ways to prevent this, but none have worked as well as we would like.

One of the biggest struggles is when I am at home, looking at the calendar, and Danny is at work and can't see the calendar - we end up miscommunicating or misunderstanding each other, and it can lead to conflict later on.

This past week, Danny found a very cool thing on Gmail that we both think will really help with this problem! Through Gmail, you can share calendars. This way, either of us can type into the calendar (Danny's events show up in blue, mine in pink) and we can both view it. It really helps so that we can both see what is going on, as long as we can get to a computer.

I've always really liked being able to see the calendar on paper, but it has not been working for us, so this will hopefully help!
