Hi everyone!
It's been a while since I've logged on, but I haven't forgotten about ya!
Things have been going well in my new city. I moved from California to Georgia almost 3 years ago. In that time, I bought a house and absolutely LOVE my little nest.
I've been doing a bunch of projects around the house and it's just about where I want it.
I have a great job (though I'm always looking for the next opportunity). I love being near the majority of my family, but hate being so far from my adult kids (who still live in California).
I've started traveling a little more and intend to get in some international trips in the near future.
The biggest news, I guess is that NerdCop (the gent I met here in my new city) and I were able to work out our issues over the last year and a half. He moved in with me a week or so ago. Sharing expenses in my little nest will be nice (stack my savings a bit faster), but it's really nice to come home and someone I love and trust is there.
I hope all is well with everyone and that your 2019 is peaceful and prosperous!

Hey Gaby!
Thanks so much for the update - been wondering about your move and new digs. Such great stuff - you are continuing to take such good care of yourself. Kudos!
2012 pretty much sucked.
Things no longer suck.

So happy for you GabyBaby. 
No one changes unless they want to. Not if you beg them. Not if you shame them. Not if you use reason, emotion, or tough love. There is only one thing that makes someone change: their own realization that they need to.
