I don’t know if I’ve ever told you before (I’m guessing you may have picked up on this on your own) but I am married to an older man. And by older, I mean that there’s a 17 years difference in age between us. (Gasp!) If someone had told me years ago that I would have [...]

The CPA had been looking forward to his Labor Day weekend motorcycle ride for weeks. He is getting ready to sell his bike so it was going to be his last hurrah and he wanted to do it right. He was planning an overnight trip down to Southern Virginia where he could just enjoy the [...]

It’s been two whole years since we said our “I do’s” and agreed to spend our lives together. I honestly don’t know where the time has gone. It has been simply amazing. Yes, I know that marriage is hard work, but it doesn’t really feel like it’s been hard. There have been times of compromise of [...]

The CPA and I have a problem. It’s becoming a serious issue, too, and it’s not one that I knew about before we were married. And trust me – we did all that we could to unearth potential land mines before we walked down the aisle. We read books about relationships, we asked each other questions covering [...]

When the CPA and I got married last year, I came to the union with a lot of preconceived ideas. These ideas were born from a combination of my experiences and my upbringing as well as a whole host of other factors. Because of these preconceived ideas and beliefs, I found myself taking certain stances whenever issues arose. For [...]

I was what you might call a “late-bloomer” to the world of blogging. I read them, I just never thought to start my own until earlier this year. Once I decided to do it, I was filled with all of these ideas that I wanted to try in order to bring out my “creative side.” They included everything from [...]
