So it's been almost 18 months since I last posted. This won't happen again since I'm going to use this as a forum to communicate back to my friends and family how our most recent adventures are going. I'm not sure what the future direction of this blog will be but I hope those who read it will find it at least moderately entertaining, occasionally insightful, and maybe a little educational. For this first new post I think I'll just look at some of the major events the last 18 months have had. It's been a stressful one.
