How it All Began
It’s been brought to my attention that although I have shared intimate details over the past year regarding my relationship with my new husband/father of my soon-to-be-here baby boy, I have not shared the story of how we met fifteen years ago… I’m sure his version of the story is slightly different than my own, [...]

For Closeness: TRAVEL
You’ve probably heard the saying, “You don’t really know someone until you travel with them,” or something of that nature. Well, since I am in a long-distance relationship, every time we’re together it feels like we’re on vacation.

Comfortable Silence
I used to see older couples sitting together at a restaurant or in the movie theater or walking next to one another in silence and I would feel sorry for them. They had nothing to talk about, no stories to share, nothing left to say. Years have passed. I’ve grown more wise, experienced life, had [...]
