OK, I guess I should post something, if only to satisfy the slavering masses hanging on every syllable…<\/p>\n

Got it? That’s really only so I know what happened between March and July 2011 when someone asks…<\/p>\n
Basically it’s been the usual, except that we’re moving into a tiny apartment next week. It sucks, but we’re going to save $600\/month which will pay for school and hopefully pay off enough debt that we can buy a house. I tried to tell Erika this when we moved up here, but she didn’t hear me, so we’ve peed away all the extra money we got when I got a big pay hike. Oh well. Such are things.<\/p>\n
