I know I left the last chapter at an ‘inopportune’ moment for many of my lovely readers. So, without any further ado… This is the story of how the Hubster and I met, fell in love, and were married within 8 months… …and lived happily every after* Let me introduce our contenders: (you can click on pictures to enlarge them) The Hubster ———————– Big Dad vs. Mom: So, did you two want to talk to us about something? The Dad Face focuses on the Hubster. Hubs: Well, uh, yes. I would like to marry your daughter and was hoping to get your blessing. Big Dad: Well, okay. First (looking at…

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 should really have asked the Hubster to write this chapter, but I’ll do my best to do it justice.

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* As our Valentine’s date ended, I was sure that I’d tell him then. I put it off and put it off the whole night as my nerves continued to get the better of me, but I determined that I’d tell him before he left. …but I didn’t.
