*incoming quasi-blog post*



So I've felt pretty inactive around here the past couple of weeks, but for good reason!
After being together for over 6 years Gail and I are finally about to tie the knot! Hizzah!
Needless to say, I'm pretty stoked. Nervous. Stressed. Happy. But above all else.. excited.
It's been a long time coming, and we're both elated at the idea that in 12 days we'll be
husband & wife.

So, my soon-to-be-fellow black & green husbands, what's to expect? :P After over 6 years
of being together we suspect not much, but ya never know!

Oh!

And I started a new job My first day as an artist at Relic Entertainment was today, and
it was awesome. One thing I find that makes my professional life easier is a seemless art
pipeline and by golly.. its pretty fluid. Not a lot of hurdles to jump over to get art in the
game. Niiiiice.

So ya. Inactivity on my part. I still browse every day, but haven't been posting as much or
handling other Polycount-related things lately as I am trying to destress before the big day
all while handling a new job. It'll likely be June 1 that I am able to get back to things, so
please take note that all the suggestions you've guys have made are being noted and some
of it will be addressed by the other fellas running the show behind the scenes.

On that note: Jesse, EQ, MoP and casey - awesome job handling the War this year. Your
help has been amazing. Thanks fellas

Congrats on your marriage and the new job! As far as marriage goes, I think the best marriages are the ones that don't seem like a big deal... I mean that it just feels like a natural extension of your love for each other, and the marriage is just a formalizing of that love. Have fun

That's awesome man! Congratulations!

In regards to your question about the relationship changing... believe it or not... it will, but in very positive ways you won't expect. I dated my wife for about 5 years and we're going on 4 years of marriage, and looking back... it is totally different. It really all depends on what stage in each others lives you are at right now... like my wife and I lived together in an apartment for about a year and a half before we got married. Then we stayed there for another year before getting a house. Now we have a kid, so it is just slow changes that are really great. Then there's other things that change. Your credit is her credit... uhhhhh ohhhhhhhh.... hehehehehehe.

Have a great wedding and an awesome honeymoon! We went down to this secluded place in Florida for ours, and it *cough*cough* rained the entire time...*cough* so it was quite enjoyable actually

Well congrats good sir! Rhea and I will be married for 8 years this November. It's been a journey for sure. You and Gail have already spent 6 years together so I am sure there isn't going to be much difference. Now you are just making it more official.

So anyways. Congrats on the new job and the getting married.

Life is good.

That's awesome news!

I personally recommend spending more time and money planning your honeymoon then on your wedding.

It's not so annoying the first 5 or 6 times, but by 7 or 8 you either start to get creative or stab someone in the eye with a cocktail weenie.
