I guess I forgot to tell y’all that I’m up in South Dakota to visit my sweetheart (and celebrate his brother’s wedding!) this week. South Dakota is a strange, weird, terrible, wonderful state and one day I’d like to share more about my thoughts on it. (I’ll also let you know the final tally on how many comments N’s grandmother makes about the two of us getting married. I am of course, crazy about my sweetheart, but a wedding is so not in our plans right now.)
