Today was the start of his first full week there, so I made him take a "first day of work" picture this morning. I took 2 pictures, and both times I had to say in my meanest mom voice "SMILE" because he was only giving me a closed mouth courtesy smile. So forgive his sleepy fake smile here--he has an obnoxious wife.
And just so you know, he got turned down for a job he really wanted a few weeks ago. They sent him a letter to do so (who does that anymore?), so we felt it was appropriate to set it on fire. Which we did. In our kitchen sink. Using the blow torch from one of his classes last semester.
Please note the determined look of satisfaction in his face. Don't mess with us Shafers.*
*I sure hope these pictures don't turn up in court one day for one reason or another. We're not pyros, we just like to burn evidence of rejection.

When life brings in a challenge it is good to see how the Shafer's take it by the hand and freakin burn it! I am sitting here laughing and wanting to hang out with you at the same time! I wanna burn something! We got a crappy email the other day and I think we should print it out and BURNNNNNNNNNN it!
Time for a bon fire! Who wants a hotdog?
I'm soooo glad that you can spend extravegantly again. I was getting worried when you guys didn't even eat solid gold turkey legs at Christmastime. Finally, just in time for March Madness, you can spend, spend, spend!
Congrats on the new job, Dougie!!!!
Also, I burned several law school rejection letters. It's very satisfying!
Congrats on the job. Gary is also a PT aid, but you probably already knew that. It's always nice to have another income. Plus at Gary's office, we get to go and use all of the machines when the office is closed. I hope Doug has similar benefits.
Ahhh. . . to be employed. . . . live it up Doug!
Also, I appreciate that you too use the 'mean mom' voice to get yoru husband to smile, all I get when I use mine is the 'crooked eye smile', I need some pointers : )
