Back in the Saddle

Hello everyone.

My, my, I know it's been a long time since either of us posted. Life has been anything but normal for Maude and I since the middle of March. That's when we started the long-distance phase of our relationship. It was a necessary step that neither of us wanted to take, but it was a means to and end and we knew it wouldn't last longer than a few months. Then, about 5 weeks ago, we both finally relocated to the city where we first met.

Since we arrived here, we've been on an all-out job search. Maude has found a position and actually begins her job in a couple days. I've had a couple leads that haven't panned out yet, but things will fall into place eventually. Once we are both working again full-time, we can finally get our own apartment. We're currently staying with some extremely thoughtful friends, and we're grateful beyond words for everything they've done for us, but, of course, we are eager to live in a place of our own once again. Besides, the kitchen-table-sex is starting to get a little awkward :-)

We have been wanting to post for a couple weeks now, but anybody who's been on an exhausting job hunt knows how it can affect your overall state of being. Quite frankly, our stress levels have been elevated, to put it mildly. But things are getting better, and I think it's time for us to start talking dirty again.

Tomorrow, we may go on a little excursion that should provide some good photo ops, so I hope you enjoy the view.

It's great to be back.
