Update On My Life

(adapted from my latest bulletin)

Hey everyone.

So I know it's been forever since I updated anyone on anything about my life. Let's just say that there has been so much going on that I haven't even had a chance to process anything that's happened yet. I'll probably write another blog with all the details soon, but I'm still in the middle of the craziness so this is all I have time for. It'll have to do for now. If you really want to know, just ask.
