Bad news: no Chicago trip (meaning no chance to re-create the magic of Ferris Bueller's day off or eat famous Chicago street food or go to my best friend's favorite goth club to laugh at goth kids dancing).
Good news: looks like the move is happening way sooner than I'd originally planned. The car has been rented and my brother's return ticket bought. He's helping me move my stuff (some clothes and a few housewares only-I'm really trying to be Spartan about this). Woo hoo!

Re: Ms. Hendricks, here here!
Regarding the chasm. . . both of us I suppose, but mostly me. I'd like to have most or all of my debt killed before buying this ring. It's reasonably priced and well managed, but I have a lot of it. I also would like to not be constrained on how much I can spend on the wedding and honeymoon because I expect to be kicking in on it at least some, and we also want to do receptions in London and Portland. Mind you, I don't want to be ostentatious (even though I joke about having the "ballingest wedding ever!"), but throwing that party gets costly regardless of how sensible you are. I'm hoping to earn my way out mostly though, we've got some big deals in the pipeline very soon and if we can succeed at those, we'll be all set.
