The one where we go back in time
We were wed in June of 2005. My Bride and I moved to my hometown because I was offered seasonal employment in a company I could really get behind. I thought maybe something would come from it - ojt and a shiny star on my resume for like minded companies.
Betty supported me in this decision. Which was kind of her because it was a stressful decision and made some problems for us in the infancy of our marriage. She got a good job that offered insurance and we started our life together. We would talk about where we wanted to go and what we wanted to see. When we were dating we thought it would be fun to go into the Peace Corp or a similar organization to do some "free" travelling. Our desire to get out of the country increased as our job-life became more frustrating.
We heard about a teaching opportunity in China from some friends. In march of 06 we met with the VP of recruiting for the private school. He told us the in-and-outs of the job and showed us some pictures. It sounded good - real good. Because by this time, Betty was bored to death at her job and ready to jump out of the plate glass window and my seasonal employment ended leaving me working at a sub-par job that made me hate my life.
By May we were in China. A lot of things had to happen to get here so fast. The best part for me was quitting my job. I had two bosses and I told each one separately what was happening. I told the boss I liked that Betty and I were leaving the country. He stared at me open-mouthed before saying, "You've gotta be shittin' me!" I wish I could have taken a picture; one of the best reactions I have ever witnessed. The other boss didn't even know I was married...
voila!
some jams I like right now:
Travis Barker remix of Crank Dat Soulja Boy
Jimmy Eat World - Chase this Light
Biffy Clyro remix of Umbrella
anything by Ingrid Michaelson
