(Trying to find a new journal skin I like, so a bland basic layout for now.)

So, as of June 24th I am no longer a teenager. I find it rather disheartening to realize how little I've changed/accomplished since high school. At least I had a nice birthday, albeit very laid-back! I received some lovely gifts online -







- And ~Iaka and ~metalgearhead123 promised something later! Got a few phone calls/texts, and my hubby made me breakfast before he left for work, and then came home to take me to dinner. C: Then on Saturday, when we had more time, we ate Japanese for lunch and went to the movies (saw "The Proposal", and now want a Samoyed puppy). My first birthday as a married lady, oh my!

Now, my thoughts are focused on the serious. July 4th until the 19th, hubby and I will be visiting New York state again; we have plans for horseback riding, an amusement park, and even tickets to see Jon Stewart's The Daily Show. But we have to get our affairs in order and our apartment all moved into storage, because once we return, we're handing over our keys and moving out.

Not sure if I've mentioned it on this site - doubtful - but I'll be going on a hiatus for most of July due to the moving and deployment. Yes, the reason we're moving out is that my husband is being deployed to Afghanistan... He'll be fine, he's working in a hospital there and he's not even supposed to leave the base. While he's there, I'll be staying with my parents in NY. I'm none too pleased with this turn of events, obviously. But maybe it can help me get over my mental block and I'll learn how to drive a car. (Probably not.) I'm going to try to accomplish something in this next year, but man, do I not have a clue what. Any suggestions?

Anywho, no sympathy required; just writing an update as to why I haven't been drawing/uploading/talking much. Hope to see you all in a month!
