Well, Beth and I have been home a little over a week, have both survived our first full work week of work, and actually have the house pretty well set up the way we want it. So, now that we have all of that done I’m actually trying to get some of our honeymoon photos online. It’s sure taking longer than expected, but you’ll be the first to know once I do get things under control. As far as the whole marriage thing goes. Well, I’ve been married so close to a month (counting? who? me? ) and YAY it’s been awesome! There are too many stories from the honeymoon to try to recount now, so I’ve decided to report on other happenings in the news that I’ve found interesting.

For example, a very interesting article from The Wall Street Journal about how a branch of Indian grocery stores recently re-designed their stores to be more chaotic! That’s right, in India, their target audience is used to shopping in a more crowded environment. An interesting read.

Also, keep the people affected by the earthquake in Perú in your prayers. From what I’ve been able to read, the majority of the damage happened to the south of where I lived (in Lima). I wrote an email to my host brother but haven’t heard anything back yet.

Finally, if any of you haven’t heard of David Sedaris I would highly suggest checking out some of his writing. I first heard some of his stories on This American Life, but Beth & I really got hooked when we read one of his books on our honeymoon. He has a way of writing that is captivating, and his stories make you wonder if anyone really could have a life like that! I know that David’s stories aren’t for everyone, but most of the time he just cracks me up. Good thing Beth & I each have a book of his to keep us busy for a while
