So, much has happened throughout this past year, so I put my virtual life and my artwork on the back-burner so I could prioritize reality.

But, finally, I'm back and my life is great and though I may not submit things too often, I'm here.

Before I get started with my personal update on things in my crazy world, I want to thank everyone who commented and faved my works. I had too many to thank everyone one by one since I've been away for nine months, but I really do appreciate everything. Thanks!

Now, for the big things that happened! I got married and had a baby! Yes, I'm a family woman, which is kind of hard with nursing school, but what can I do? Anyway, life is great.

My baby is the pride and joy of my world. Her name is Harley (after Harley Quinn, not the bike!) Amelia. She's soooo pretty, I just want to pinch her--but I don't, she's only 6 weeks old and can't take my loving yet dangerous tendencies. Being a mama is totally cool. I really have never loved anything as much as her or felt as loved in my life than I've felt when she looks at me. God...She's a miracle. After 12 hours of painful labor and an emergency C-section, on Dec. 4, 2006 at 06:51 PM, God gave me a 7 lbs. 9 oz. miracle. It was the best Christmas present ever.

So, to sum it all up, after a whole bunch of drama and crap, I finally managed to get my happily ever after. I live in a beautiful little apartment with my husband, my daughter, and my cat, go to school (which isn't a fun part, but absolutely necessary), and I am so happy. Happy, happy, happy.

I wish everyone the best for the New Year's! Take care of yourselves, DeviantArtists!
