a Geek, a Dinosaur, and a Bunny

About Us

Hi! We're the Valencic family. You're probably wondering about our blog's name. Well, We're a small family of two, plus a rabbit (and two birds, but they're just kind of in the background- second class citizens). Alex and Gretch have been married for five years. Alex teaches fourth grade, loves politics, reading books, watching movies, picking up random knowledge, and bacon. We love watching TV shows, you could say that we are Netflix junkies. We love sci-fi shows, our favorite being Doctor Who. We also love watching documentaries on all kinds of subjects. We're both geeks, but Alex is the super Geek.

Gretch spends her days painting, illustrating, designing, crocheting, and doing many other forms of art. She has a really big love for dinosaurs and will some day publish a graphic novel with dinosaurs in it. But that's not where the dinosaur part comes from! For many years now our family (mostly Alex and siblings) have made fun of Gretch's short arms, calling them her T-Rex arms. They call her G-Rex. Normally this kind of teasing would bother her, but she kinda likes it, so it's stuck. (P.S. her ASL name sign is based on the Swedish sign for dinosaur.) That's where the Dinosaur part comes.

Myla is our Bunny. She's two years old and has a surprisingly well rounded personality. We got Myla because Gretch desperately wanted an animal companion that could help her with some emotional issues. She is a confort to Gretch and we spoil her like a baby. She's more than just a pet to us.

So that's where our Blog Title came from!
This is our family and this is our life.
