Hello DeviantArt world!   It has certainly been many months, about 6 months actually, since I've logged in.  Well, there are many reasons for this.  But the biggest reason was that last summer we moved, but before we moved we had to do some work on our new home.  This combined with 50+ hour work weeks at a new job (I lost my steady 40 hour a week job for reasons that I still can't make sense of... probably business politics) consumed my time, and I had to give up DA and other hobbies for a while.
