[life changes]
I'm taking a break on my day off from doing label paperwork to write a proper blog entry, since it's been so long since I've updated.
Life is good. I've moved into my new condo last month, and am approaching the six-month mark with my new job. The company has sent me to Texas, Pennsylvania and Ohio for various reasons, and work back home in the meantime has been very steady. I'm currently negotiating new responsibilities at work, since business is going so well and my boss is looking to expand the company. I'm really happy here.
Things with me and Rick continue to be amazing. It's "unofficially official" now - we'll be getting married next summer. We'll make the official announcement once I have the ring (his sister is a jewelry designer and is currently making it), but I'm already having fun shopping around for a dress and a venue. I haven't contacted anyone about details about the wedding party or anything like that since we haven't finalized a date yet, but I will soon. It'll be sometime in late June or early July, so that it's after he graduates, and before we go off to wherever he picks up a post-doc.
There are a lot of exciting things continuing to happen with RAM. I got word this week that another really amazing band will be joining our line-up (official announcement coming soon), and am in discussion with a few others. We're adding several more titles to our distribution network, too. One of our artists, Delica-m, just got picked up by the European label Danse Macabre, so we'll be co-releasing their upcoming EP this September.
So, the next year will be a busy one filled with a lot of changes - but I guess that's every year with me. But it's nice to be in a place, finally, where I'm much more hopeful than fearful of the future. I feel like I've finally found my place in this universe.
