Where are they now?

Back in the saddle again.

I'm sure many of you are probably asking yourselves right now, "Self, I really wish I knew what the Willard men of old are up to nowadays. They were so wise beyond their years and must be doing great things in the world." Well, it's your lucky day my friend, you're correct.

JOHN CARR
Ole John went and got himself hitched (reference #CarrIndieWedding) to a wonderful little sleepy lady named Stef. They moved to Kansas for what was the rest of the house's senior year of college, and are now back in the great state of Virginia. They live in Harrisonburg now, and John is on Young Life staff working for Ryder. They got themselves a cat with some weird indie name, and it's pretty much all I see on instagram. I think his name is like Duke Ellington? Idk.

JOE DANEHOWER
Daddy Dane. After being wrapped up in things like "schoolwork" and "Capernaum" for the past four years, Joe went off the deep end and moved to Charleston, SC where I am pretty sure he just hangs out at the beach all day. Just kidding, he's in school. But he does hang out at the beach a lot. He has a small apartment and just started leading wyldlife. He still eats a lot of PBJS.

JACKSON STRAWN
Similar to John in almost all respects: Got married, moved to a town in southwest VA, works for Young Life. The differences are, Kimmie doesn't like to sleep nearly as much as Stef, they don't have a cat who is constantly having existential identity crises, and he lives in Wytheville, where there are approximately two people roughly in the same age range as Kimmie and himself. We're eating McDonalds together for lunch in Mt. Airy on Monday, February 3rd if y'all wanna stop by the truck stop.

JEREMY MATEYK
The sole engineer of the house, Jeremy used his big brain and dashing good looks to get a job at Ford Motor Company, as the face of the race car division. You can see him in press conferences, at NASCAR races, and any other smattering of Ford related activities. In his spare time, he likes to work on another part of the car that I keep calling the chassis but isn't. Additionally, he turned 23 recently, and has been holed up in his house for 2 months trying to endure a Detroit winter. He also still drives a VW, to stick it to the man. (I was gonna make a joke about him living in the North but that seemed like taking the low hanging fruit.)

EVAN UNDERWOOD
Who the hell knows, Evan answers to no man. Allegedly, he's working at construction sites in DC as a project manager.

SAM BOWMAN
Working for the Christian Mafia, Sam is living in Annapolis and learning the finer things in life. His internship ends in May, and at that point, only the Good Lord knows what Sam will pursue. Options include: Doctor, Hunter, Lawyer, Biologist, Salesman, Explorer, Chef, etc. etc. But probably either med school or working in sales if I had to guess.

JAMES HARRIS

Still grinding it out down in Winston-Salem. Finished the first semester of Div School and working for Young Life at RJ Reynolds HS. I'm applying to the Air Force and started brewing my own beer. I'm sick of writing, so if you wanna know about me ask directly.

I would make some promise about future blog posts, but let's be real, it'll probably be weeks or months.
