Happy Monday. Happy October 22nd. Happy 24th Anniversary to my main squeeze. It’s so hard to believe I have been his bride for 24 years. Where does the time go, right?! Am I 24 years older? Well, yes I am but I can’t wrap my brain around that one either. This guy has been coming…

Marriage: The Spouse
