Married Life
It's been a very busy summer. Mary and I are now married and living happily in my old home in Fort Worth. It took her awhile to get used to it, but we've worked to fix the place up a little better after years of being a bachelor's. (Use your imagination on that!)
We chose the quick route -- went down the the Justice of the Peace office and got it over with.
I won't begin to describe the changes that have come. I've learned that all the humorous stories my friends have told all these years really aren't jokes -- they are things that happen!
Mary has been working hard on learning English. I am very proud of the progress she is making, but she needs a lot more practice talking with others. She is still a little nervous about her lack of language skills, but is a bit more at ease when she's around others.
We've explored Fort Worth and done a lot of cool things with lots more planned for the future. I love to take video of the places we visit and put together DVD's and sometimes post them online. I will be adding videos here occassionally, too.
It's no surprise how my priorities have changed, but some of the other changes have been a surprise. I never thought I'd spend so much time watching Spanish-language novellas (i.e., soap operas) in the evening. Finally I had to put a stop to that and say I can't do this anymore.
