This is a quick update for people who might be curious as to what has happened to me since I left DA awhile ago and might only be on this particular website for whatever reason.

The major bullet points of life so far are as followed:

* In December we discovered I am a zero tolerance Celiac. This basically means that I am unable to process ANY gluten - flour, wheat, whey, ect. It was the reason behind a lot of things gone wrong in my life for the passed 2 years or so as I was not just poisoning my body daily but getting nothing nutrition wise from anything I ate causing me to be sick all the time and sleep way more than normal. The difference in my health and energy levels is like night and day. Shockingly, being healthier and having energy makes a person way less depressed and works as a natural mood stabilizer. More information about this can be found at: [link]

* I am engaged now to Justin Rivers aka Chemicalwolf! Our wedding is set to take place on August 6th, 2009 at the Butterfly Pavillion in Westminster, CO. The theme is 'In the Forest' and we will have metal forks at the reception. One would not think metal forks needs to be mentioned but the fit my soon to be Mother in Law through over our plans at first to not have them was pretty crazy. Thus... they will be mentioned now that we have them whenever the wedding is brought up. It's going to be a good time and I'm really excited.

* Justin joined the Navy. As his soon to be wife I now will be jumping from place to place by his side all over the world as he sails the seven seas, which will put our minds at ease, and two verses later we'll protect the motherland. I am actually REALLY really REALLY excited having come from a family with a strong and proud Navel history. It's pretty sweet and I can't wait to get going with that.

* Art wise I have been successfully making a living off of the convention ring. Having attended in 2008 RMFC, AC, FA:U, MFM, RF, FF, MFF and FC for 09 I will probably continue on with that for the next year or so but am not sure. I've been working hard to piece together a certification to do all things involving taxes - which I have found make me also as happy, if not more, than art. NO, I did NOT see that coming but it is very true. So far I am set up for TFF, FWA, FCN, MFM, RF and hope to finalize plans for AC, FF and MFF soon. I will probably not sell at RMFC this year due to it starting on my wedding night. I will also be selling at MidfurX in Australia this year.

Outside of all that I'd like to toss out a reminder that I am now exclusively on FA at [link] if you'd like to find me. If I owe you artwork for some reason and we have not talked you can email me at: whereismyart@gmail.com to discuss said matter.

I have no intentions of returning actively to DA as I'm very happy else where. Please not ethat if you comment here it might be awhile before I respond and a better way to get ahold of me is to email: farellemoon[at]gmail[dot]com which is also my MSN handle. Farellemoon is my AIM.

Other places I can be found outside of FA:

I have looked up a few people on DA. It looks like the people I use to know are doing really well and that makes me feel super happy. Keep it up - everyone stand a chance to accomplish their dreams.
