So, I haven’t posted for a while. Kimberly is away in New York leading a retreat for L’Arche members. I’m looking for a second job. I have an interview this Thursday which looks quite promising, a weekend supervisory role. While Kimberly is gone, I’m trying to get a few things done with which to surprise her. Primarily painting the living room a color we agreed on. Finding a close color match has not been as smooth as I expected, so I hope she is okay with the shade. I know she will appreciate not experiencing the fumes and mess that the painting will create.
I conducted the wedding for my sister-in-law and husband weekend before last. It was the first time I met many of my extended family in-laws. I have a new appreciation for destination weddings (this one in Fort Myers, FL). Spending several days with in-laws can create the basis for much quicker assimilation. As I told everyone, this was the first time I felt I was part of the family instead of part of Kimberly’s family. It felt good (though a little stressful to conduct a wedding for an in-law… if it goes badly… which thankfully it didn’t). I did manage to screw up the new name of the couple when I presented them after the kiss, but everyone seemed to be okay with that… after all, a beach wedding tends to be more casual (it was the first time I ever wore a suit in bare feet!) Lots of cameras and lots of photos and video. But I’m having trouble downloading them. I’ll try again later.
