Howdy ya'll!
Haha, couldn't resist. We really don't talk like that. Yet....
Anyway...hi and welcome to the Schmuck(er) blog! Jason and I have enjoyed reading the blogs of friends and have found it to be a good way to keep up with what's going on in their lives, especially since we aren't always good at maintaining regluar contact. Thus, we decided we might give it a go ourselves. I'm not too good at this computer stuff, that's really Jason's department, so we'll see how this goes...
Here's a rapid summary of the last 9-ish months.....about a month after our June wedding, we moved here to College Station, deep in the heart of Texas, so Jason could pursue a doctorate at Texas A&M University. We have had quite an interesting time adjusting to married life and Texas culture (more on that to come later).
Right now Jason's in his second semester at A&M while I am still trying to figure out what I want to do. I worked at a case manager at a mental health facility for a few months but it turned out not to be a good match for me. I am currently doing temp jobs through a temp agency until I find something that matches my skills/interests better. We are fortunate to be in a good enough financial position that we can afford for me to not have a full-time job for a couple months.
Some highlights of the last 9 months have been spending a week in Spain (I'll try and do a blog on that - with pictures - later) and going home to Goshen and Toledo for 2 weeks at Christmas. In our spare time we enjoy attempting to play tennis, watching movies and playing Scrabble. Well, we don't so much play Scrabble anymore now that I've beaten Jason 10 times in a row....
I think that'll be all for now. I'm gonna go see if I can figure out how to post pictures too...
Thanks for reading!
