It’s been almost 4 months since I last posted, and while I won’t go into too many details, it was quite an event­ful time.  I relo­cated from Austin to Phoenix, took on more respon­si­bil­i­ties at work, ended one rela­tion­ship and began the most won­der­ful one of my life, and adopted a kit­ten.  While my favorite pas­times were pushed aside for many more hours at work, and the change of locale, I am slowly get­ting back into them.

I am work­ing through The Guardians series and also two other books con­cur­rently. It’s tak­ing me much longer to fin­ish even a short book these days, but I find that I can­not stop read­ing.  The new man in my life loves to lis­ten to me read, and The Guardians make a great bed­time rit­ual for us.  I hope to post a review of the first in the series shortly.  And if all goes well, we will fin­ish the series before the movie is out in theaters.

I’m still not sure where the year went, but it looks like it will be the per­fect end to an uncom­mon year.  I am headed home to Con­necti­cut to see the fam­ily for Christ­mas and I am bring­ing C. to meet the fam­ily.  It’s been almost 5 years since I was home for Christ­mas, and I am look­ing for­ward to see­ing my new nephew enjoy his first year of presents, and to see my whole family.

While I do miss some things about Austin, I can­not say I’m sorry to have left.  Phoenix has been a won­der­ful new chap­ter in my life, and only good will come of it.  I am sure of it.
