    Page Not Loading?

    Hello dear readers, I just came across some troubling information–I learned that my blog is not loading properly for someone and in fact often crashes when she tries to load it.

    Chapter One* The Pre-Proposal

    This is the story of how the Hubster and I met, fell in love and were married within 8 months… ….and lived happily ever after* I know that many of you have been waiting for this chapter since I started writing out how the Hubster and I met. If you’re a new reader, you are welcome to read this chapter first as the ending is obvious (we’ve been married for nearly 3 years now), but if you’d like to see the rest of the story, you can read it HERE. I last told you about the Hubster’s mission to ask Big Dad for his blessing (permission) to marry me. There…
