The First Year Project. Discovering marriage since June 26, 2010. Posted by: the storyteller. May 1, 2011. I am officially one graduated son of a gun. It took a lot of pain, toil, sweat and tears (some of them mine) to get here, and I’ve finally finished it. I am a University of Florida alum. The ceremony, for its part, was extremely boring.
