If you read the post below, my situation seemed dire. Apparently, I just needed to be patient. We moved into a house that had much lower rent, got rid of most of our worldly possessions, and started saving up money. Then Micah had a strange epiphany. All of his fears melted away. He understands that there is nothing here that is worth tying both of us down. We leave in August for the Indianapolis area, and then, world domination!
