you know, it's been a month since I wrote this, and a lot has happened ...

Lauren and I got accepted to the international convention - and since we're out of vacation time, we've been discussing taking a leave of absence to go. But if we're going to do that, we might as well take a longer break and do something more worthwhile with our "house fund", than buy a house, right? We don't have a plan yet, but it's going to be good.
