Oh, hello! When did you get here?

I'm worried my blog has jumped the shark. And not the cute, Henry Winkler on Arrested Development self-referential kind of way. The bad kind of way. The kind of way where material starts to dwindle and your favorite show tries a spin-off to draw in new viewers. I think maybe I'll just update this one whenever I can. Screw the wards!

I'm just going to keep blaming medical school. During my first two years I could write in class and study later because, to be honest, even when I wasn't writing in class I was just imagining old Oswald the Lucky Rabbit cartoons. But sadly I don't have that luxury anymore. Even on my "easy" rotations I work constantly, and I live half way between Phoenix and Santa's Workshop so I end up driving a lot. And given the choice between my readers and my wife, I'm going to choose my wife.

Speaking of which...

Update the First: Montgomery's Marital Magic
Over winter break, I married the Most Magical Woman on Earthâ„¢ at the Most Magical Place on Earthâ„¢ - Walt Disney World! Here is an artist's rendition:

That's actually how our cake topper looked. But if you'd prefer a more creepy image:

Yikes. FYI, Precious Moments figures give me the Jibblies. I'm pretty sure the people who collect them are the same people who taxidermy relatives. Anyway...

It was an awesome time and it encompassed my entire winter break. The morning after my shelf exam I flew to Florida. 5-ish days of Park hopping led into an awesome ceremony at Disney's Wedding Pavilion presided over masterfully by the Reverend Larkitect. Cake cutting at the Grand Floridian with an amazing toast by my Broseph. Reception luau dinner at the Polynesian. 2 nights at the Wilderness Lodge. Honeymoon suite for a honeymoon cruise of the Caribbean for a week, then New Year's Eve in NYC with Areenos and jPod where I randomly ran into another med student from my class (what're the odds? 1 in a million sounds pretty accurate, actually). Then home for a few days before my next rotation started.

Whew, I'm exhausted just writing about it. It couldn't have been any better. Unless we won the lottery and I cloned a pachycephalosaurus and put a saddle on it and trained it to carry me around. That would've been pretty good, too.

Things have been great since then. We're a happy couple. Speaking of which...

Update the Second: Time for Bed
I've neglected the Missus long enough. Time to hit the hay. Then after that I'm going to bed.

Yay, sleep! That's where I'm a viking!
