It's been about a month since the wedding now and I thought I'd give an update on how things are going. First off, thank you to everyone who made it to our wedding and to others who sent their support from afar. We could not have asked for a more beautiful wedding. It was absolutely everything we wanted it to be. Secondly: jobs.
Allison is working for a mental health outpatient facility here in Columbia, MO. She has clients who are suffering from severe mental illnesses whom she has to stay in touch with for whatever they need from her. She drives them to doctor's appointments, makes sure they are taking their medication, takes them to get groceries, etc. She's really enjoying it thus far and thinks it is going to be a great experience towards getting a graduate degree in counseling (which will probably begin in the fall of '07).
I am currently writing six days a week (taking saturdays off to hang with the wifey) and have written just over a third of the novel I'm working on (120 pages). I get up early when Allison goes to work and write until 1 or 2pm. In the afternoons I play Betty Home Maker. That's right, I'm comfortable with it. Make your jokes, point your fingers and then STICK IT, cause I'm a damn good house wife! I do all the tedious little chores like laundry and cleaning and cooking dinner, getting groceries, etcetera, etcetera (and then I drive the kids off to soccer practice in my SUV made for hauling dead bodies off Mt. McKinley before relaxing at the country club for lunch with my boyfriends...On HER credit card! OH! So naughty. Seriously though, I do fold clothes and that shit sucks. It's no laughing matter.).
And that's it from MO town. Will somebody please leave a comment besides these goddamn internet sales people (That's right, I'm talking to you Mr. "I really love what you've done with your blog and even though it's completely inappropriate I'm going to advertise on the comment section under your wedding pictures! Find a new job. One where you don't have to be a souless sniveling scum bag.).
