So, wait.

What did you say? Two married couples living together?

I bet you're wondering if we're crazy.

It's okay. We can hear your "Oh, that's interesting" from here.

I mean, after all, people get married to get away from random roommates, right? A little privacy, no need to divvy up grocery bills, the list goes on.

So, why on earth would four married adults want to live together?

Let's play Fact vs. Fiction to get to the bottom of this.

• #1 We're actually sharing spouses.  FICTION. That's gross. We like each other's spouses, but not like that. 
• #2 We genuinely like each other. FACT. We have a ton of shared hobbies and interests, many of which we hope to document in ye 'ole blog. We also all went to the same university and have a ton of mutual friends. Stefan and Brandon were roommates in college. Here's proof they've always been great friends.  
  

• #3 We're dirt poor and we have to share a house to afford the rent. FACT & FICTION. We're not dirt poor. We each work (nearly) full-time jobs and are well-paid. But, we live in a big city with high rent. We were all tired of apartment dwelling and yearned for a whole house, a yard, and a garage. And while we're not ready to buy a house, renting a large house like this gives us the best of both worlds. We certainly couldn't afford a big house like this solo, so why not combine forces with your friends?
• #4 We are hippies. THAT DEPENDS. If you're referring to spouse sharing, open relationships, or smoking weed, then FICTION. We don't do any of those things. But if you're referring to buying secondhand, urban chickens, and baking our own bread, we're totally guilty.
• #5 We share absolutely everything. FICTION. While we certainly don't share everything, we do share a lot. Generally speaking, we are expense sharing, rather than income sharing. Which means our bank accounts are separate, but we share the cost of our expenses, including bills, cleaning supplies, groceries, and any common items in the house. Basically, if you want it all to your one-sies, you buy it yourself. 
• #6 You're just a bunch of crazy, pioneering adventurers. FACT. You caught us. We love this wacky adventure we're on and are looking forward to what we'll learn while we continue to develop ourselves, our friendships, and our marriages. 

Gotta love iPhone pictures at night.
