Well it's been 11 years or so. A lot has changed, mostly me. 

I've had kids, moved across the country, lost people dear to me (miss you, Mom), and deconstructed my faith. I haven't really reconstructed anything in its place, and I can tell you, it's a relief to be rid of it altogether. 

My brain was so wrapped up in thoughts of heaven and hell and sin and repentance, and it's truly freeing to be free from it. I find myself feeling very zen most of the time. I'm probably going to start a new blog soon so if anyone follows this one, (God I hope not), I'll let you know where to find me when I get there. 

I love where I am now and I love my family and it's been quite the little pirate-y adventure.
