Sooooo, we just found out that my husband is to be awarded a pretty big grant from the Social Sciences and Research Council of Canada. It'll be enough to pay off all of our student debt, maybe take a trip and then some. He's the only one in his department to receive it this year. I'm so proud of him, he's been working so hard. We're having a bit of a celebration tonight  :)

But, we missed the point the whole way along; It was a musical thing and you were supposed to sing, or dance, while the music was being played.

Now that is something to be cheerful about!  I'd say more than a bit of a celebration is in order.  Congratulations to him.

It's something that is not out of the realm of possibility! Our 5 year wedding anniversary is coming up in 2013 and we'd like to take a nice trip somewhere. Neither of us have been to anywhere in the UK before.  :)

It's somewhere we've always wanted to go :)  Between us we have a lot of British, Irish, and French heritage, so we really want to see Europe!

Reason to be cheerful: when a husband and wife are both adorably geeky enough to post on the same message board, and quote one another. I find that VERY cute.  ;D
