It's been a loooooooong time.
Wow. I haven't used LiveJournal in such a long time, I pretty much forgot I had this journal. A lot has changed, and then again, a lot hasn't. Facebook has been my mini-diary, or at least the one I let my friends see for a couple of years now, but I have been thinking that I should keep a more detailed journal lately, and so I am back. I am really keeping a journal for myself, but if others find it amusing or worth reading, that's a bonus. First off, where I am at now...
I live in Sacramento, CA now. It isn't exotic or glam, but it's where my husband's family lives. Yep, HUSBAND. I have referred to Alec as my "husband" before, simply because we have been together for fifteen years, but the fact is we were not legally married until January 9th, 2013. We're newlyweds! We had our wedding in Hawaii on a beautiful beach with family and friends. Very simple, no fuss. Just how I like it. Big production weddings aren't my style. We spent one week on the island of Oahu, and the second week on The Big Island. The vacation was much needed after a long while of stressful work and health issues. As for health- my condition is degenerative so, it's a little worse. On a positive note, I have found an excellent physical therapist (Jessica!) who is helping me cope with a lot of the problems. All in all, I am doing well considering my condition.
Alec and I have both discovered the joy of archery and are completely obsessed with it. We go to the range twice a week and spend much of our spare time looking at "archery porn" and talking about technique and form. Though Alec and I have much in common, this is the one thing we share wholeheartedly and with the same amount of obsessiveness. It is nice to have a hobby we are both totally into. We have bonded even more over it.
We have adopted a little Bichon Maltese dog. He is a rescue and a special needs dog - he has severe epilepsy, like me. His name is Brocco, which was his name before we got him. It doesn't suit him but we didn't want to make his re-learning process more difficult by changing his name. We have had him exactly one year and he is a joy. We love him so much it hurts sometimes. Our little lion head bunny, Teva, is doing well and we love her dearly. They are our fur babies.
I'm happy.
