So as it turns out, life happens.....
In February of last year, we put down a deposit on a litter of German Shepherd pups to be born mid July. As it goes, we found out the next week, that my wife was pregnant.
Making the incorrect assumption that chaos is like terminal velocity, and at some point, will stabilize at "terminal chaos", we kept our deposit and decided to roll the dice with a baby and a puppy at the same time. A year later, I can confidently say it was the best decision I would never make again...
I did however finally get my Corvette put together, and road tripped across the country to Austin in preparation for our impending move this summer.
