a lot has happened since I last had the time to devote to this blog: working a job that exhausts me, moved, got engaged to the love of my life, travelled to the uk. real life just gets in the way and you lose track and it's a good thing. I haven't decided to resurrect entirely yet but i feel like it should take some sort of new life form so I am going to think on that. I can say that without a doubt I am the happiest I have ever been and if I do resurrect things I will try not to make this blog too saccharine.
