Sorry that I haven't written a post in a while. Life has been busy. I've been writing and doing science. I've also applied to and been accepted at Heritage college & seminary. So, I will most likely be going there in the fall. I've also started to work on another costume. I might be going to Fan Expo in September and I've been trying to figure out which costume to make.
