  • A few words on the bridal registry…

    We got back from the honeymoon late Sunday afternoon.  That evening was spent with Tara’s family over at my parents’ house opening the wedding gifts.  It was a good time.  It was very interesting to see what people got us.  Overall, we were very happy with the gifts, and we still have tons of giftcards…

  • The Honeymoon

    The alarm went off at the Magnolia Hotel at 4:30 in the morning.  Having showered the night before, Tara and I threw on clothes and headed down to the Lobby to checkout and wait for the 5:00 shuttle to the airport.  The same guy that had checked us in the night before was still there…

  • The Wedding

    My last post was nearly 3 weeks ago.  I feel that I should give an update (And also to prove to Lynne that a married man can, in fact, xanga–albeit while is wife is not home…) I had to reread my last post because I had no recollection of it.  I admit that I was…

  • Last Xanga Post as a Single Man

    Less than 24 hours.  This is my last day at work, albeit a half day.  Yesterday I said goodbye to the production gals, which pretty much caused the reality of my departure to set in.  It was sad, but nice.  After work, the engineers and management all went out to Parker’s Smokehouse for eats and…

  • Bachelor Party Complete

    Saturday night was the bachelor party.  We started off the evening at Barrett’s with eats, drinks, and sand volleyball.  Then my parents came to pick Garin up, and the rest of us headed to our hotel, the Doubletree downtown, to check in and get picked up by the limo.  We then stocked up on booze…

  • T – 10 Days.  What can I say?  What is there to say?  I have no life beyond wedding preparations.  Thus, I’m taking Jake’s advice and churning this out while on the clock.  I’ve got 9 days left of work–I think I’m allowed.  2 paychecks left, then who knows.  Funny thing is, I’m not even…

  • Tara and I completed pre-marriage counseling last night.  It’s kind of sad–we both really enjoyed meeting with Pastor Eric.  He said some wonderful things and left both of us feeling quite excited about things.  I can’t believe it will all be done with before long.  Then it will just be finding a job.  Joyous job…

  • First

    Empty leather-bound bookurges me to open itand scratch it’s virgin pages.Yet life takes my creative mind captiveand arrests the muse,like a woman that can’t orgasm.Where does one finda mental vibrator?

  • I’m writing this at work, but I need a break.  Writing C code can get monotonous every once and a while.  See what I did there?  I subtly plugged one of my technical skills.  That’s because I’m proud of it.  Pompous even.  I worked my ass off to get where I am, and I’m very…

  • Since I’ve been listening to books on CD during my commute, I find myself narrating every damn thing I do throughout the day in the pros style of the book I happen to be listening to at the time.  I kind of enjoy it because it makes my daily activity more interesting and even book-worthy. …
