Okay - so it's been a crazy long time since I've written a journal entry and i should probably do so considering the crazy number of things that have happened since the last one!

Biggest news of the past few months would be that me and got married!!!!! I know that both me and would have preferred to do something a bit nicer - but circumstances kinda are what they are and it had to be done before 2017. We'll probably have a more 'formal' (quotes meaning it's gonna just be a party, no actual formal ceremony or anything like that!) at a later date with close friends. I may have to post the picture of the wedding rings - as I simply LOVE LOVE LOVE how they turned out!

Not that I want to bring it up, but that leads to what i knew was going to be the eventual issue I would have with my immediate family. My parents (my father in particular) wants nothing to do with even the concept of gay marriage - let alone to have a son that is in one. I can't help but be hurt when they refer to my now HUSBAND as my 'friend'. I knew it was going to be this way, I just, wish I knew what the right course of action to take is. I never intended to cut them out of my life - but as the relationship between us stands right now, I don't feel it's worth putting any emotional effort into it if I know I'm going to get nothing but disdain and righteous indignation from them. I know it's on religious grounds that they are so oppose to it, but that doesn't excuse their uncaring and even hateful attitude and actions. I never wanted to cut off communication with them....but seeing how long this sentiment is as I write it...I'm forced to recognized that at least for the immediate future - any communication i do have with them, will simply pull up that those hurtful feelings - and I don't want - nor do i need - that in my life.

On more lighthearted discussions - while I wasn't able to attend MFF - I had some great Con experiences with BLFC, TrotCon, Furconsin in October. The pony con was quite the experience getting to met the guest of honor (John Delanci *squeeeee*) in a more private setting! Furconsin, was a wonderful time, very much a weekend outing that and I needed! Getting to suit out in the Downtown Wisconsin Dells really is a LOT of fun - wish i had more opportunities to do such things but being that they are so few and far between that makes the experiences all that much more special!

Furconsin 2017 is the only convention we really have set in stone for next year - have to see what time brings!
