Testing... testing...

Wow, it's been a while since I last posted. I quit this blog when I felt like everything was spiraling out of control, that I had opened up too much of myself to criticism to perfect strangers, when all I wanted to do was vent a little. I can admit now I got hooked on the attention and the drama. Stepping away when I did was one of the best things I could have chosen to do.

Julian and I got married almost a year ago now, and while it wasn't the wedding I would have chosen for myself  completely (too much meddling from my mother-in-law and my sister), we managed to have a great time. Julian's AOS was complete in May, and in the middle of June he went back to London for six months to help complete a business deal. Yeah, six months apart in the first year of marriage has sucked, but it has allowed him to make our lives more financially secure. I also went out there for two months (September-October), so it hasn't been like we've been really that apart.

So I want to start blogging again, this time in a less crazy way. And my life is less crazy now. You'll see.
