| Congratulations! You found the Easter Egg! |
| Everyone says we got married too young. Everyone but my Dad. He has always been a firm believer in knowing what you want, and going for it. All he did was ask me if this was really what I wanted more than anything, and when I answered yes, he gave me a big hug and said congratulations. Too young or not, I got married with my parents’ blessing. I am twenty four years old, and I have been married for three years. I didn’t get married because I had to, despite what some people might have said. Tally and I just knew. We knew from the moment we first met that we were going to be together for the rest of our lives. It was easy for us. It was everyone else that struggled with it. Admittedly, it was probably just a little weird, seeing as she was only sixteen when we met. But I was just nineteen, and we were both in college. She was at UC-Northridge, while I was at Cal-Tech, and we met on the beach. We both wasted a lot of time riding the surf and basking in the glorious Southern California sun. But we also know how to hit the books. I was working in nano-tech before I even got out of college, and at twenty four, I’m already looking at starting my PhD in biomedical technology. Tally started college almost two years early, and she’s been thinking about going back to get her doctorate in adolescent educational psychology once the kids are old enough. We’ve got one daughter now, Lisabet, named for my great grandmother on my Mom’s side, and sort of after my Dad’ s favorite chemistry teacher, who was also Aunt Steph’s Mom. I say we have one now, because we’d like to have a bunch before we’re done. I grew up in a big family and I really love it. Tally just had her and her sister, but she wants a big family, too. Thanks to our folks, we think we’re both well suited to handle the challenge. So, here I am, a twenty four year old tech monkey, playing with silicone during the day, and helping my wife with our baby at night. And I love every single minute of it, because the woman I share my life with is everything I could have ever wanted. So, if you see it, don’t wait around and hope it’ll still be there when you think you’re ready… Grab hold of that wave and ride it straight through to the other side. You’ll never regret taking the wave, but you’ll always regret the ones you never tried. |
