Settling in nicely. [Just a bit of an update and ramble.]
4 years ago
General
The new place is turning out nice, my husband will be joining me from Alaska here at the start of the next year. Really looking forward to moving into the new place. Currently staying with friends who've have been kind enough to let me crash in their guest room for the last month or so while me and the people I've gathered keep working on the house. [Yep, it's a fixer upper!] When it's closer to being finished I can move more of my stuff from our place in Alaska to here, which I'm already expecting to be a bit costly. But that's the price of a long move!
Some people asked me why I moved back to NY state, with how things are going, so I'll answer some of the curious individuals here. Because family, and close friends. I lived in NYC most of my life, but a lot of my family and friends are spread all across the state and I figured now that mine and David's contracts were up with Alyeska Pipeline Service Company as team welders. We choose to move back towards familiar territory, [That and I just really miss my family, my mother and all my friends. David also happens to have some relatives that live in the state, which was the ultimate decider! ]
You all know I took a long stent away from FA, mainly to focus on my marriage, my child and my over all career, given where we were located net wasn't stable and for long periods of time we'd be out in the wilderness with no net connectivity at al except emergency satellite service. Was the nature of the repair jobs we took. [High pay!]
Also we both choose to step back do to all the crazy political stuff that had started to take root into the community, no longer making it feel as if it was the same open and welcoming place that it used to be, for various walks of life. [Frankly, we didn't want to choose sides, or be forced into a situation to choose one. ] So we just choose to focus on the family we were building. We also adopted a young girl who was struggling with a terrible abusive situation in the foster system [Which desperately needs to be improved in our country.] So that was a big thing for us! Finally giving her a forever home. So we had that big step in our lives that occurred. Over all, it's been a crazy time, and the pandemic kicking up didn't make things easier.
But here we are, trying to make the best of things. I'm slowly opening up to the community again [Stepping on egg shells it feels sometimes] as I try to navigate my way back towards the people I called friend. For those whom lost contact with me for such a long time, I apologize. I should of made open communication via a discord, skype or where ever else more available. For those who do with to reconnect with me. You're more than welcome to note me here any time! I'll throw you my deets in a DM.
Now, as for art? I've been thinking of getting a few things since its been such a long time since I've gotten anything of Cristian. Wonder what I should get, any suggestions!?
