Lots of big things have been happening that I never got around to posting. First off, I'm engaged :). Erin is pretty awesome, so I'm pretty excited. Second off, I just bought a house and we're moving in on the 27th. It's a pretty nice house, but not amazing or anything. It's a bit under 2700 sq ft and is 7 yrs old. I'll post picturers after we move in and set it up. It's going to be a welcome change from our current 800 sq ft apartment that is basically falling apart. Thirdly, I can't remember if I ever mentioned that I got a 2nd dog or not. Cali (3 yr old half lab half retriever) is on the left, and my new dog Amos (1 yr old papillion) is on the right.

Here is Amos playing with another dog at the dog park.

Some fun news: I completely degenned it up at blackjack with my UB refund. My favorite hand from the degen session is pictured below (in case you can't tell what's going on, I was betting max/hand on 3 hands, dealer started with 4, I split my aces and hit a blackjack and 19, doubled my 10 and got 19, and I doubled my soft 17 and hit blackjack). You guys probably want the results of all my degen blackjacking. I ended up winning a little over 19k which makes my lifetime blackjack winnings about 18k :) b/c I never really played blackjack for significant money before this. I opted to cash out my UB account all but 1.5k to guarantee I don't degen anymore with blackjack.
