Hello to the forgotten

So...

It's been roughly four months since anyone has posted on here...obviously, it's been way too long.

Since one of us was in Sweden for three months, and the other dealing with quite a mound of personal stuff I will apologize for the lack of updating. It might seem like it would be easier for the two of us to write because of the situations we were both in; one experiencing an almost never ending battle with culture shock, the other battling his own personal demons. However, writing obviously never came easy. I would like to say that within the next six months some major progress should start taking place. So be sure to keep yourselves posted.

There, now that that is out of the way:

The last four months of my life have been unbelievable. I've been fortunate enough to see things I never thought I would and I feel blessed that I've been able to. Yes, it was incredibly difficult to plan the trip and then adjust to the lifestyle, but looking back I feel a sense of accomplishment that I've never had before. I'm happy that I pushed myself through this, and I'm grateful for everyone that pushed me to do it, and supported me throughout it.

I have never felt more patriotic than I do now, sure I know that if I became a citizen of Sweden and lived there the rest of my life I would get used to it, but I never plan on doing that and I'm incredibly happy to be back home. There's just somethings that I've become used to - some small seemingly insignificant things that I missed while I was away - Twist off beer caps, good white bread, knowing that my cashier would speak English and be able to understand what I'm saying. In three months I realized there are so many things that I should be grateful for in my life no, not just the three things I listed, but honest, meaningful things. I am truly blessed.

I feel like I have learned more about myself in three months than in the past 22 years of my life. It's something that I never thought I could do.

Now, I don't know if it's the sappy music playing from the Godzilla movie in the background, but I feel as though I've been overly mushy with this. I guess overall I wanted to say thank you to the people that have helped me in the past few years of my life, especially the last three months.

Now with that said, it's time to re-adjust to my normal life and begin creating this album.

What's one thing you want to see before you die?

Jack's ability to be overly sappy.
