Pick Your Best Friend

You know how they tell you that when you get married, you want to marry your best friend?  They say you should choose that special person whom you can talk with and be yourself with. The person that you would want to be with over everyone else.  The one who really gets you. Well, that’s who [...]

Married to An Older Man

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 [...]

Marriage – It’s A Matter of Time

There are few things the CPA and I disagree on.  In fact, we very rarely disagree, with the exception of the other night.  And I have to admit that I am the one who started it.  You see, it had to do with time, or the lack thereof.  Time that we have to spend together [...]
