You're back!! Holy shit! How's things?

Long story, obviously, but... I'm good. Better than good: best I've ever been in my life. To say that it was a rough road getting here would be an understatement, but it was worth it.

How about you?

*hugs.* I'm really glad. I'll admit, I've thought of you from time to time over the years.

I'm actually doing better than ever before. I'm as close to being married as a person can be without a certificate, and home ownership appears to be achievable in single digit years.

*hugs* I've also thought of you over the years, and I'm so glad to hear you're doing well: you deserve to thrive and be happy.

And I'm in the exact same boat with regards to both marriage and home ownership: we just need to finish my wife's immigration first.

Huzzah! Congratulations to you both!
