Working has been something

So I got back into the country and thrusted into a six day work week. Two of which days I have had to work a mall Kiosk bored out of my skull, with no internet, no customers and no hope for time to fly. Read the newest issues of Details and GQ that my wife was good enough to snag for me and started thinking about a career in fashion… Hmmmm, fashion, maybe that’s the one untapped industry that I haven’t tried? Hard to say but something has got to give soon in my career. Well, more details as the pages unfold kiddies!

Back in the saddle again.

I was soooooo bored yesterday with work, had to sit in a little Kiosk in the mall by myself for nine hours. Talk about fun. At least my wife was in the area and could stop by to brighten my day, she also snagged me a Chicken Sandwich and a couple of magazines from a bookstore in the mall, I was able to read through Details, and GQ - both very lengthy zines I might add :) Then we went out for a bite to eat when I got off, met up with our friend and estranged roommate Andy for a cocktail or two.

Now today, I’m off to work at yet another slow retail location, at least a few things have happened here today but I’m about to get outta here and knock off for the day. Tonight I think we’ll rent Over The Hedges.

Back Home&Back to Work

Well, nothing can last forever. We wanted to extend our honeymoon another day, hell, another week but it wasn’t in the cards for us. There’s always next year :D The resort was fabulous, the weather was fantastic (mainly around 90 degrees) and I couldn’t be happier that we were able to take the honeymoon. However, today I go back to work, still a bit wore out from the travel but the world must go on I suppose.

More later, we have some big things coming up!

Last day in the USA

Well, for a little while. Tomorrow my wife and I leave for Mexico for our Honeymoon. I have never been out of the United States borders so I’m a bit nervous, but I’m really excited as well. We have an all inclusive resort destination and we will be gone for five days, this will be a breath of fresh air for sure. I have needed a vacation from work and have wanted even more to get out of town with my best gal. I cannot think of anything that I’m missing so far but we’re going out today to take care of last minute shopping and such, hopefully all goes well.

THE BIG DAY

Today I get up, it seems like any other morning but I know that this is the most significant morning of my life. Today I pledge my entire life to my love. My best man and I have some coffee and chat with a buddy Andy who came in from Iowa for this special event. Before long it’s “Go Time” as my good friend and best man (the Go-Tard) says, time to get suited up! I jump in the shower and get all shaved up and then get into my attire, then he does the same. We make sure a final check for the rings and various stuff for the photographer is in our possession. With a “Last chance to back out man” I answer my best man with “No way, I’ve never been more sure of something in my life!”. We hop into his Jeep and head off to Tower Grove Park. Everything went perfect in the ceremony and we had some time to kill before the reception so my Beautiful new Bride and I (along with our Maid of Honor and Best Man) headed off for a cocktail at one of our favorite watering holes, this was fun to do in our very formal wear. Off to the reception after that and our roommate Andy was already there setting up decorations and such, guests started to arrive as well as the food. Everyone had a really great time and Michael began to play his acoustic set, everyone was very impressed with our wedding and reception, but we decided to duck out a little early and head over to the hotel Mindy had reserved as a surprise! After that, I’ll leave that up to your imagination everyone, let’s just say we are happily Man and Wife ;)

And yes, this also was posted after the fact, like I’d duck out on my wedding day to blog :D

One Day

This is a posting after the fact, today I was not supposed to be at home after golfing. And I won’t get to see Mindy again until she’s walking down the isle with a dress that I’m told is going to knock my socks off ;) We played golf today my best man and I, very poorly but we had fun nonetheless. Afterwards we had a bit of last minute running around to do, get our “Monkey Suits” as he calls them, then we watched some movies and I hung out with a few of my closest friends. I know that most people think that an evening before a wedding the groom should be out and up to no good but that’s just not me, I valued my last evening a single man with no regrets! Tomorrows the BIG day, I’m starting to get too excited to sleep, Mindy is already at that point :D

Till tomorrow my love, Good Night!
