Hey everyone. I have been very detached from the dA community for quite some time now and seem to have very little interaction with my dA pals. I would like to change that. I know that we all have very busy lives and dA is probably not the biggest part of it, but it used to be a big part of who I am and I don't want to lose that. With that being said, I would like to update everyone with how my life has been recently. If you would enjoy reading something positive in your journal notification inbox amongst all of the negativity/drama/art theft accusations/sob stories, then read on.

I'm currently in a serious relationship with a wonderful guy, who I have been with for a little over a year now and he is absolutely fantastic. Me and my two dogs (Maaya + Sparta) and the stupid demon cat Samsoon have moved out and gotten our own place with said guy and we've been making life pretty darn special for about four months. I just got back from a military deployment to Europe and got to see quite a few amazing places to include Germany, Kosovo, and even went farther to have a short vacation in Japan. I took a semester of college during my Europe tour in Veterinary technology, which I'm sure I passed with flying colors [won't know until the final test results come back]. I just got a job last month at a Veterinary clinic and I'm learning quite a bit every day. The friends that do still remain in my life are still as loving and supportive as always. My family, although we have been having a bit of drama these past few months, are still there for me and we are maintaining healthy relationships. My health, even though I had been going through a terrible four year long mini-crisis has made a complete 100% turn around for the better, thanks to a lovely physical therapist and a few other very wonderful and caring nurses, doctors, and receptionists. I have a new car to call my own that is in awesome shape and is completely paid for. My pets are healthy -- but I still want to kill my cat because it shakes my door at 3 in the morning BUT I HAVE REMEDIED THAT WITH THE AMAZING SCATMAT!! KITTY STEPS ON IT AND THE STATIC JOLT SENDS KITTY'S ASS TO THE CEILING MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAAAA!!! Ahem. Yes, my life is good. Not perfect. But for once in my life I can honestly say that life is absolutely glorious.
