Sorry for the lack of a response until now...
Togetherwecan and I are getting along very well. She is funny, intelligent, articulate, and a blast to be around. It's my first time living with someone else and it is taking some time to get used to that. We are looking for a house here in the next few weeks once we find one, life will get even more hectic for a couple of weeks before hopefully settling down again.
You have all seen the hair and the new picture, Togetherwecan was the motivating force behind it and I can't thank her enough! More soon
