I'm back! (and why I was gone)

So, hopefully some of you folks remember me ;)

I have been gone for quite awhile. Don't worry my interest in Usagi didn't waver. In fact I even converted some more folks at my local comic shop to start reading it as well.

My wife and I were trying to start a family and after a few years and WAY too much money spent on treatments we finally closed the door on that chapter of our lives. It was sad and heart breaking. After almost a year of going through the adoption process we just adopted a little brother and sister. She just turned 3 and he is turning 2 in June. They are local children who had a rough start to their lives but are quickly adapting to us (and us to them). We can't express how happy we are. This morning as I was going up the stairs from my office into the kitchen my daughter ran up to me and said "Daddy. Hulk SMASH!" I couldn't stop laughing. I can't wait until I can get them reading some Usagi comics!

So, yeah, that's where I have been and I'm back :)

I missed you guys.
