they all tell me the first year is the most difficult. Hopefully you have a great wedding and honeymoon and avoid the first year curse, GL.

Well, nothing really tangible is changing on the homefront. We have already lived together (meaning we share the same bank account, same income, same expenses) for a year. So hopefully we have already passed the "1st year". Thanks.

p.s. where are you getting married?

[/ QUOTE ]

A small town called Atlanta, IL. South of Bloomington/Normal on Interstate 55 if you are familiar with the area.

How does your soon to be wife handle poker?

[/ QUOTE ]

She doesn't play. She says I play enough for the both of us. Actually, she has a job in shipping sales and the variance at her job in one week is quite akin to the variance in a week's worth of poker. But she is knowledgable enough to understand EV and that I am good enough to win, so she is cool with it. Just so long as I manage my time with her. One of the reasons I had to quit running the 4/180 challenge on Tuesdays, but that was an easy sacrifice.

Variance: Little Sherman's inevitable?

[/ QUOTE ]
That's a bit too far in the future. Probably not until post-Ph.D.

So your fiance has a job in shipping it but she doesn't play poker? Sounds kinda sketchy to me.

Congratulations dude.

We just celebrated our 5th anniversary by having a baby girl.

There's nothing better - anybody who says otherwise is either in a bad relationship, hasn't found the right person, or has to grow up a bit...

'grats, Sherman... Enjoy...

habitual lurker/i never play anymore, but i have always enjoyed your posts and have generally thought of you as one of the more level headed posters in general. Congrats. I'm 24 too and, personally, the thought of getting married is the type of thing that makes me wake up in a cold sweat in the middle of the night. I have yet to meet a woman who can deal with me on a day to day basis, so it's never come up. All the best in the future. Poker is fun, but real life is infinitely more interesting.
