Alyssa and Heath Padgett started their honeymoon almost 5 months ago.
And yes, they’re still on it.
It’s a working honeymoon though, and the two newlyweds have some big goals.
Heath is a little over half-way through his quest to work 50 minimum-wage jobs in each of the 50 states.

His wife, Alyssa, films her husband and plans to make a documentary of their adventures when they finally arrive home in Texas next year.
At the beginning of their journey, Heath was concerned that they might be making a mistake,
I was afraid nobody would care about what we were doing, I was scared I was making the wrong decision. I was scared that I wouldn’t finish the trip.
It seems to have turned out OK so far.
Heath and Alyssa stopped in New York this past week for interviews with CNN, Huffington Post, and FOX and Friends.
Heath said recently on his website,
As of this morning, I’ve worked 31 jobs across America and been on the road for nearly 5 months. I’ve lost a fridge, a vehicle, a fuel pump, and had a near death experience while inhaling too much of a gas leak. I’ve faced obstacles, but I overcame them. I’ve grown my relationship with my wife, and hand in hand experienced the greatest adventure of my life. I’ve met hundreds of American workers who have shared their heart and lives with me. I’ve shared tears with people I’ve met on the road, and as they looked at me, they told me the work I’m doing was inspiring them to keep going.
