It’s been awhile, friends.

A lot has happened in the last year and a half or so, including but not limited to our getting a dog (something I never thought would happen with my contamination OCD), getting a cabin in Astoria Oregon, starting and quitting a distance masters program in Children’s Literature, and opening a children’s bookstore.

On the “OCD” and “Mormon” front things have been moving along as they do. Notably, we are not supposed to call ourselves “Mormons” in favor of “members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints” (or just Christians? right?). However, when your “brand” is “The OCD MORMON” a change like that makes things a little difficult and annoying. Rumor has it that my book isn’t carried in Deseret Book because of the whole “Mormon” in the title thing, but that could just be made up entirely by me in my bitterness.
