....that is not my news.
Sorry I've been absent lately. I am not good at the blog thing. Or the Twitter thing. I don't think I'm interesting enough to read about.
Two pieces of news:
1. Ry and I bought a house in Omaha! I'll try to post pics soon but it's a big beautiful 1907 house with hardwood floors, a huge yard and a fabulous 70s kitchen. I'm busy trying to fill it up with vintage Tupperware and Rubbermaid. There's also a brand new queen size bed in the guest room. (hint, hint) I know it's a big step but I really love Omaha and the mortgage is $100 less/month than renting. I finally found a place where I can afford a big Portland-style house.
2. And the bigger news...we're getting married. Next week. Sorry, no big wedding for you all to come to but neither one of us really wants that anyway. For the first time, Ry has no health insurance so we decided to get married for that. At first it felt like it wasn't very romantic reason but I wouldn't be doing it if I wasn't sure (and we have been together for 6 1/2 years). My parents will be here next week, we have a judge and are trying to decide whether to have it in a park or at the house. When we visit Portland in January, we'll have a party at my parent's new house in Milwaukie. They have a hot tub so you have to be there.
I really do miss everyone! With Ry moving here, buying a house and trying to get settled it's been a bit crazy. I do still have thoughts about libraries and I will try to get them out on a more regular basis.
Oh and Michael? I know you don't care about the person stuff (since we've never met), but what should I take my parent's to in Lincoln next week? I've never been and I'm not sure what to do. We're going Friday since I think we'd be crazy to go on Saturday.

Wow - that IS big news! Glad to know that Ry is finally going to make an honest women out of you :)
A house, marriage = big time commitments. Next step (drum roll please) should be getting a lawyer and writing your wills.
Big news deserves big questions:
1) Will you wear white?
2) Will Ry wear white?
3) Will your dog be part of the ceremony?
Congratulations! Can't wait to see pics of the house. (Or at least tell us the address so we can check it out on google earth.)
Congratulations! I just shouted out the news to the office to much excitement!
oh my gosh, this is HUGE!!! YEA!! While scott and i didn't get married for the health insurance, his appendix did rupture shortly have we got married and we got him on my insurance, (he had been without for months? years? before we got married.) That saved us nearly $20,000!
I polled co-workers and got the following list for you:
