It has most definitely been a while. Since last we meet dear reader, I've found a different job, moved, gotten a dog, and cried over someone I didn't think I would. I've made new friends, lost some acquaintances, and am coming out stronger for it.
I've spent Thanksgivings and Christmases with different sorts of family, and crossed that strange threshold into my thirties. I've spent too many nights out until 4 and not at a bar. I've stayed up too late listening to rambling as we both fought sleep.
I think it's going to be an interesting year.
