While I'm waiting (for my mother who is taking forever)....

Fran's boyfriend (Nick) took her out to dinner for her birthday yesterday. She said he was really nervous. Apparently he said he had saved enough money and wants to look for a house. He wants her to help pick it out because she'll be living there in the future. He also added that they would probably be married sometime next year. We're calling it a half-proposal. ;)
