Aparantly not a mod anymore, but it's cool because I'm back regardless.

SO much to update.

Why was I gone so long? L-I-F-E decided to happen. And that's an understatement. I met my new girl 4 months ago, and ever since then it's just been a roller coaster ride...but for the good in the long run. I met Monica and we hit it off immediately. I met here while I was visiting my friend in Maine(I'm from Boston now), and ever since the night we met, we have never been apart for a day. She moved down with me(quit her job, left her family/friends...everything) after knowing me only a week and a half. We were living with my brother in boston, who ended up kicking us out...and we were basically homeless for a bit. We managed to move into the ghetto for 6 weeks, then we spent a week in maine, then a week in cambridge, then a week in Rhode Island, then a week in Chicago...then we FINALLY got our own place here in Revere (just outside of Boston).

SO basically we have been through hell and back, and we've been incredibly broke the entire time. BUT we have our own place now, and we managed to get a loan and everything and life is definitely looking up. We have our heads above the water with a bit of a cushion and heck I even have the internet again!

But for the craziest news of all.....I'M GOING TO BE A DADDY! We found out about a week ago that she was pregnant, and I am so psyched. We have quit drinking...obviously, and now it's all about getting ready for the baby. Save, save, save. We wanted to get married first, but like I said...life happened and we've got a baby on the way! SO I'm going to be a daddy and a husband! Crazy! It's been hard being away from the site for so long, but I have never been happier.
