It's been a while...

So much time has passed that I won't even attempt to catch up... suffice it to say that many many things happened since my last entry. Well maybe a list of highlights would be fun to do, you know how I love my lists!! Let's give this a try:

List disclaimer: while I will certainly endeavor to make this list in order of when things happened, there is very little chance it will actually follow an accurate timeline
