Houses and Pictures, Etc.

Here are some pictures from Chicago: one of me looking happier than I'm sure I was at the time in the heat, one of Eric looking very upset because they took his candy away from him (we went to the Hershey store and then they wouldn't let us take food into the festival), one from the ferris wheel that I took while Eric was trying to propose, and one of us they took before we got on it at Navy Pier. We didn't have any good ones of us after the fact, and our camera doesn't appear to want to take a clear picture of my ring, so everyone will just have to see it in person! Other than that, we still haven't made any wedding plans yet, but we'll be setting the date soon and I'll update everyone. We've been looking at houses, which has been a blast, and we're actually thinking about making an offer on one we really love. It's kind of out of the way, south of where I live now, which is already south of everything else in the city. So we'll see. Not much else to report at the moment. My parents just sold their house and I'll be helping pack while I'm home for Labor Day, but if anyone wants to get together, I'll be in Charlotte! I'll probably drive there on Friday and leave Tuesday.
