Queen's Gambit Declined

The new chess game is underway and Andrew has left the tried and true at move 2. I am pretty sure this creates a weakness, but I am also quite sure he is just tempting me to advance too quickly or engage in some unsupportable attack.

Here I am pouring over the texts to fathom the best strategy at this early point. Perhaps the Albin Counter Gambit? The moves thus far:
1. d4 , d5
2. c4 , e5

More on this and pictures of progress later.

On to housework and projects. 'Tis Sunday, the long run at the gym is under the belt (40 minutes, 4.11 miles) and the afternoon awaits.
