Allison and I are happily on our way out of Chicago, out of Oklahoma City, out the east coast, out of everything we know and hold familiar, and on towards Portland! Tonight we are in Rock Springs, Wyoming, a dry, dusty, rocky place. Today I was inspired by an idea for a new short story (hopefully, it'll pan out). We have been driving at least 10 hours a day for the past three and we have about three to go. We have fought viciously, felt ferociously close to each other, talked deeply, ignored each other, been peaceful, fretted, forgiven, and basically lived out a microcosm of our entire future married life together in this first week after the wedding.
I'm still working on those pictures from the wedding. Be patient. For those of you who can't access the video of the wedding below, go to this link on youtube:
