Today is the 6 month anniversary of Captain-Savvy & my  marriage! :date::heart: It hasn't seemed that long, really... Time flies when you're having rum :ahoy: (or when you still have the paperwork to do for my migrating to (and hopefully working in) her home country :work::flagus: )
Incidentally, we met here on dA :dalove: so that's kinda awesome, if I may say so myself :aww: And I've been easing my way back onto dA just in time for this day! Huzzah :w00t:
I'm hoping to upload some drawings I did since last I was on here in the coming days and then continue on as of old...

Hello y'all...

Some of you've been wondering where I'd taken off to... possibliy whether I'd died... welll, it almost seemed so, but then it got to quite the opposite.

Last I signed in here on dA I was working on my final internship that between writing & correcting my thesis and work at the place where I was interning (with more & more responsibilities :juggle: ) I would have no time or I would be too tired (it got to points where I'd have to stay up through the night to finish some before work the next day :faint: ) Then when I graduated I had to hurry and get packing because with my internship over I had at last a vacation first time in 2 years and I had to pack to see my Captain-Savvy in the US of A!! It was awesome!! :w00t: And in the 2 weeks I was there, I wanted to spend as much of my waking time with her as I could. More on that later, though... When I returned to the Netherlands, my parents had cleared out my room... totally... so I had like 42 boxes to sort through to find the important stuff and organize the rest... while my interning place had offered me a contract so I had to work again straight back from my vacation :nirvana: So between work and sorting through boxes and preparing for the next trip I was either too tired or too busy to sign on... again ^^; (frankly, I was also terrified of what a load of messages'd await me here)

And now I'm here again in the US of A :flagus::D With my sweet Savannah! :love: Before the first trip we both expected to be rather shy when we'd meet... and when I got to the baggage pick-up at Atlanta Airport (after two hours going through security) I found her brother and his girlfriend, but my Savvy missing... she'd gone to the bathroom just then :lol: but when she came out all shyness was overcome and we were just as in love as we'd been on-line or more... :blushes: It was marvellous... we did so much together I can hardly begin to recount it all here... Sav put some of the pictures up in her gallery... though we made over 1,000 together in all ^^; Now we're here together relaxing some more, enjoying Christmas together and tonight New Year's eve... and the awesome day we've planned for New Year's day!! :excited: And now she's forced me to sign on here again :XD: Still a week and a bit till I return home ...so we'll make it a good time and let y'all know...

Anyway... I missed y'all a bunch and when I am home I hope to resume my activity here on dA like the old days again... and upload some of the few stuffs I did get done in the meanwhile :work: and then get back on the requests if you wants them still... :begone: I'm sorry they've been taking so long :( I missed y'all and hope you've all been keeping as awesome as you were :peace::pirate: Thanks for everything and an awesome new year to y'all!! :ahoy:

Well, my week of birthday-ness ended today...
Last week Thursday I brought cake to my internship to celebrate my birthday there (because on Fridays there's hardly anyone ever there except me)
Friday was my birthday & right past midnight on Thursday night my parents gave me my presents consisting of yummies & nom-noms to eat myself sick on for months to come :lol: Then Friday evening I had half my family over to celebrate it at home (the other half of my family lives further away, so they cannot come to every birthday).
Saturday I was called into town to receive a gift from a colleague that had been done with her internship the Monday before :aww:
Sunday I brought treats to the animal Shelter to celebrate with the volunteer co-workers.
Oh, right, Friday I needed to be off earlier to receive my visitors, and I got off early on the condition they could devote some attention  to my birthday, as only one of the two bosses was there on the Thursday before... only Monday nothing actually happened :hmm:
Tuesday I got the last card from family...
And today the attention was dedicated to my birthday at work at last, because we were together to say farewell to another colleague... though it was a bit of a joke... but there were cookies, that were no joke :cookie:
And getting home my gift from my sweetheart Savvy was waiting there for me :blush:

All in all a very happy birthday if only because it's the first I spend with my Captain-Savvy... and all the more because of the lovely wishes & songs of my dear dA friends :aww::love: Thank you all :thanks:

Furthermore... I am guessing it hasn't slipped your attention that I have adopted a pet-rat brother Elvis a month ago yesterday:
Rat hat by Nautical-Nieky
But what may be new to some is that I intend to go paint with him, inspired by the paw paintings here: www.ratbehavior.org/RatHumorMa… Only I intend to be more collaboratory about it ;) Anyway... I set up his own account here: Ratattooist:iconratattooist:
(on the name: ratattoos or rat tattoos are the critchies you get on your arm when your rat walks over it & their nails are too sharp, like mine were before I found a natural solution (I came up briefly with another, better username, but then it slipped my mind... d'oh!))
Well, in the weekend I hope to get him started... I got fingerpaints and canvasses at the ready, already :painter: So keep your eyes peeled both here & on his account :ahoy:

Well, that's about all the news I got for you I thinks... better get back to my toDo list ^^;

Thanks for reading! The very best to y'all!
