Going on Wife Support

I love the projects I'm working on right now, but developing and launching a product can be... stressful.

I mean, it's very rewarding pursuing my own interests and work on things I love, but it essentially means putting months of work and a small piece of myself on display for the world to see and to judge. And when it is judged, it will be judged by the very real metric of profit and loss.

Throughout this pursuit, someone very special has been by my side. She's been there to listen to me talk through my self doubts and fear, she cheered for me when I took the first plunge and committed money to my projects, and she was the first person I called when I made my first big sale.

A mentor once used the phrase "wife support" to describe the help his wife gave him. I've been getting wife support, but the title wasn't officially hers until now. Sometimes I don't know why she puts up with me, but I count myself as very, very lucky that she does. We got married last weekend and now she is the official Mrs. Awkward Engineer and I love her.

And we do an OK photo booth together :-)
