Not much else to report, so I thought I would post our wedding vows (I wrote a good portion of them).
*names have been changed to protect the innocent*
There are two people before us who seek the bond of hand fasting, the sacred bond of marriage.

Just finished cleaning. We're getting reassessed tomorrow. We need the house to assess for at least 236k$ in order to get the loan for Brankauti's tattoo shop start-up. It shouldn't be a problem, but we want the place to look nice anyway.
We found a great place! It was a doctor's office. It's just under 2000 sqft, a little big for us, but we're...

thanks! and the tooth that i broke is one that i had a root canal done years ago, so there's no pain, except for the money it will cost to get it fixed.. which of course, i don't have..

Yes, I'm still alive.
Busy planning our wedding.
We're hiring a couple entry-level people at our lab. One multi-disciplined engineer type, and one general science/research assistant type. If anyone is interested and wants to know more, let me know.
Also, Brankauti's old shop Eagle's Nest Tattoos in Norwich CT got burgled last weekend. 20 tattoo machines were taken, amongst other things. But the tattoo machines...
