Life, Love, and the realities of it all

I have been married for four months now. I love it. I enjoy coming home to my wife. I like having someone to spend time with. I like having a mate. There are some things that have taken getting used to, like sleeping in the same bed, having to communicate my schedule. All in all it has been great.

We slept on two twin beds for the first few months. We bought a temperapedic bed in the middle of July with some money we had saved up and a gift from our parents. We LOVE it!!! Anyone considering purchasing a temperapedic bed should definitely do so. They are not cheap but they are well worth it.

We bought a Canon 20D camera on our honeymoon and I love it. Our short zoom lens that came with the camera (Canon EFS 18-55) was broken last weekend so I have been researching lenses. I think I have settled on the Sigma 18-50mm F2.8 EX DC MACRO. The reviews for a good middle size lense have been great and it's really not a badly priced lens for the performance reviews it has received.

Richter Scale has expanded again. We have added a video department to our list of talents. We purchased a significant amount of HD video gear from Sony PDW-F350 Cameras to Folsom switching to Barco DLP projection. It has been fun figuring everything out and developing our systems. We have hired a new department head for video. He was a steal for sure. He's great.

Britni and I have gone down to one car temporarily. Her contribution to the family motorcade is now deceased. We have been looking for a replacement and praying for an inexpensive but reliable car. Someone has offered us a very reliable and somewhat newer vehicle for better than inexpensive. They have offered it to us for free. We just have to go get it.

Britni and I have been focusing on paying off our debts. We are doing pretty well for only having been at it for four months. We have paid off three of our credit cards and are likely going to pay off a fourth this month. We can't wait to be completely out of debt but we have to be patient because that is going to take a little while.

Britni is working on a photo album for our wedding. It's pretty cool. We will be posting pictures from the wedding soon.

That's all I have for now.
