Those crazy kids tied the knot on Sunday Afternoon!
And I’ve got the pictures to prove it! See Below. You’ll notice that it was a beautiful day and Jeff did an awesome job marrying them. And I did an awesome job escorting people out of the background – as you’ll see in pics below, there’s a terraced rock step area behind the ‘altar’. There were a few people back there just chilling, which is all well and good, but for background to wedding pictures, you want there not to be guys in FUBU shorts and stuff. Just call me the Bouncer.

I wanted to get these pictures up sooner than later – my track record on big amounts of photos being posted is not exactly good. But I got some email feedback from Heather today and that was motivation enough to get me moving. Now I just need to finish my two-month-old Europe photos.
Quick News Update:
– Jeff installed (I helped a little) my new Alpine iPod stereo into my car – it’s ridiculously awesome. Still have to finish the install by properly running the cable to the new CD changer; hopefully Jeremy will help me with that.
– Speaking of Jeremy, he’s going to be moving back to Illinois in a few weeks because he has an awesome new job and it’ll be great for his career. Sucks though – he’s my best friend out here and it will be pretty damn sad to lose him. It’s kind of a big reason why…
– …I’ve realized I don’t want to stay here anymore after I’m done with the military. I seriously love my house, but that’s not a good enough reason to want to stay in a city. I’ll miss the friends I’ve made here, but I’ve long since been a fifth wheel here so it’s necessary to move. Now, where am I going? Don’t know. I’m open to going to many different places, include Los Angeles, Las Vegas, San Antonio/Austin, or Chicago. I am planning to put my house on the market though – hopefully it’ll sell. Guess what, though?
– I had my first phone interview finally, with Oracle. That job would be the one in Minneapolis for a year, and Atlanta afterwards. Honestly, I think I did really really well on the interview. Definitely, going to TAP was extremely helpful in preparing for interviewing skills as well as the many books I’ve read on career changing. Preparation has proven to be quite the right thing to do when trying to approach the unknown. Anyways, I didn’t get an offer just yet but it sounds like it is a very good likelihood that I’d get it in a month or so. So we’ll see.
– I did just get off the phone with my original recruiter at Bradley-Morris and I think I will sign up for the Chicago hiring conference in July. I got some un-asked for flattery from him – he said that everyone he talked to out here in Colorado Springs all knew me and had nothing but good things to say about me. That was nice to hear. Maybe he’s lying, but I’ll prefer to believe him.
– I think I’ll be hiking Pikes Peak this Sunday. Wish me luck.
And that’s the most recent stuff to talk about. Hope you’re all doing good out there in the rest of the country and the world.
LATE UPDATE: I’ve been creating more of my old Hobie tapes as iPod/iTunes playlists and during this process I rediscover a bunch of the music that I totally was addicted to back in high school and college. So tonight I was working on my Pioneer Tape #3 and had to rip a few more of my CDs and while flipping through one of my huge binders, I saw my Oingo Boingo CD collection and paused: Holy Crap, I hadn’t listened to them in forever. So I rip all their albums right then and there and immediately was brought back to high school times. Hell, even now I am dancin’ around to these amazingly good songs. My favorite after all this time is still “No One Lives Forever”, specifically off the Boingo Alive 2CD set. What an amazing recording. I highly suggest you dig out your Boingo CDs and enjoy the 80s and early 90s all over again. You won’t regret it. And play NOLF for me, won’t you?
