2 years?!

It's been nearly two years since I updated the blog. A LOT has happened.

November 6, 2010 - I married the woman of my dreams. Jenny and I currently live in a 3rd floor apartment in Jamaica Plain. We chose JP primarily because of the close proximity to Jenny's workplace. We're close to the T, too, so it's easy for me to scoot down to the Mission.

Yes, I'm still there. I'm celebrating my 4th year as a Case Manager, and, although it's been a long and dizzying road, I'm enjoying my work. I'm currently involved in some program development, which is really exciting.

I'm also starting my Master's degree in a few weeks. It was a tough decision, wrought with prayer. I decided, finally, that a Master's degree would enable me to do what I really want to do in terms of providing services to the poor and homeless populations of the city. I am pursuing a Masters in Counseling, which I should complete in about four years. I will remain working full-time at the Mission. Jenny is extremely gracious and understanding. A woman of the Lord, with whom there is no comparison.

There's the update. More to come...
