Because we all know I'm crazy. Well, I am. I've accepted it, I own it, and it's a thing.


So. Onto my ramblings, also known as "here's a brief life update for you if you care".

Work
Work is good. I'm going to a conference in Vegas at the beginning of December that I'm actually really excited about. Partly because I've never been to Vegas and because the company is paying for the whole trip and I'm staying in the Venetian. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay! I'm going to feel so fancy and it's gonna be awesome. I might meet up with some former coworkers while I'm there, which could be fun.

Relationship
Today is our 2nd anniversary. So here's a picture from our wedding day, looking, IMO, pretty bad ass.


Family
My dad might be moving home!!! As in, his project in Africa might finally be done, YAAAAAAAAY. It will be nice to know he's in the States again and the time difference isn't like 8 hours. I'm not 100% sure, though, the email he sent doesn't make complete sense. AND! We get to see my family in November! It will be a short trip, but Nix still hasn't seen the new house in Nevada yet, so I'm really excited for that.

Also, we have been having a lot of conversations lately about starting our own family. And the verdict right now is to wait until after my sister gets married in March 2017. Which seems so very far away, but you know what? 1) It's really not. 2) It gives us more time to save and travel and hopefully move into, and work on, our house. (Side note: a friend is currently trying to get pregnant and it seems like it's so stressful because they have a timeline and they want to get pregnant this month because next month she'll be out of the country during the "peak week" and I really hope when we start trying for kids we don't put a timeline like that on ourselves because I can only imagine how much more stressful that makes the whole process. Phew, that was a long sentence.)

Housing
Speaking of houses... that's another thing we're going to hopefully clear up in November when we see my parents. I don't know for sure or not if it's going to happen or not, but if my mom ends up getting any money from Papa's house sale, my sister and I will be getting part of it. At least, that's what she told us. So Nix & I talked and we decided if that's the case, I think we're going to put that money towards a house. Which means... we could move out of this apartment and INTO A HOUSE. Our lease is up in April... which feels like it's so soon. I dunno, maybe it will work, maybe it won't. I would LOVE to be in a house, though. I know, I know, maintenance is a pain and stuff, but I'd love to have a home I can paint and a yard to mow and I know it's crazy. I know I'm crazy - but wait, didn't we already establish that?


Oh, and, because I can.... here's a picture of our dog.
