Hello Again

Looks like it's been quite some time since my last post. Behind the scenes, I've drunkenly created a few drafts that need ot be revised for posting.. I hope to be able to commit more time to this blog in the coming months. I anxiously await the release of the iPhone5 which will be my first foray into the "smart phone" world (get with the times Char!). This should kick start my tumblr account, which I will hopefully intergrate with 28A, get me Twitterpated, and let me post here on the go! Ahh the dreams I dream, let me make them come true!

Here goes my list of excuses as to why I haven't been around: lfe. It's crazy. Crazy good, crazy bad. This summer seems to have handed me a load of both, although mostly the latter.


A long time friend of mine, and husband to one of my best friends was tragically killed in Iraq on June 30th, 2011. He was scheduled to come back for leave two weeks later.  Matt was just promoted to Sargent in the Calvary Scout division of the Infantry Unit in the US Army. 
 Friends and family have helped each other deal with the pain that seems to be constantly morphing into a new type of hurt. Katie & Matt were lovely together. Crazy in love, though all the bullshit and the fights, there was laughter and understanding of exactly who the other person was. Matt joined the military to become a better person so he could have a life with Katie, that life they planned to share was cut far to short.
