Hello dear watchers and page visitors! 

I just wanted to take a moment to thank all of you for your support throughout the years! Today marks the 10 year anniversary of Birdsistersstock, and I am super excited about that! 
Thank you thank you thank you for your continued support, for all the nice comments, for the favs, watches, and llamas! I really appreciate all of it so much! I am sorry I can't reply to all of the comments and messages I get, but please know I love reading them and seeing the beautiful art you guys create with the help of my stock images. 

I know I have barely been active for a long time, and I am sorry about that. A lot has happened in the last few years: 

- I met the man of my dreams
- I moved in with him (in Germany)
- He is an American, and after a year together had to go back to America
- I moved again
- I stayed in Germany to finish up my studies
- I got engaged (at Disney World)
- I finished up my studies and got my Master's Degree
- I got a visa and moved to America (Texas)
- I got married to the man of my dreams (also at Disney World  )
- I opened up my own photography business
- My husband and I moved to Maryland
- We got an amazing dog (she lights up our days :bademoticon:)
- We are currently expecting our first child (due in February 2018)   
- I reopened my photography business and now work as a full-time fine art portrait photographer in the DMV area 

While all of these things are wonderful, it has left me with little to no time to devote to Deviantart. I have also lost all of my stock models, as they are all still in Germany :bademoticon:. I do still try to go back to Europe at least once a year though, and will try to take and upload some stock photos every time! And as soon as I have my daily routine down, I hope to be able to open up some more time to devote to Deviantart. I really still want to answer the tons of messages I have

Let me just end this journal entry by saying I haven't forgotten about DeviantArt, I am super grateful for your continued support, and I just want to give all of you a huuuuge hug!

   Thank you!!!!!!
