Fifteen years ago, WJ and I met through mutual friends. We experienced thirteen years of hanging out as friends but always possessed an element of special interest in one another. WJ had girlfriends when I was single and I had boyfriends when he was single. The timing never seemed right despite the attraction and respect we had formed through the years but soon after Labor Day 2015 everything would change...and fast. I was newly single, he was too, and we jumped at the opportunity to kick-up our relationship lots of notches. On September 8th we shared our first kiss and ignited what has become a tender, warm, and dynamic new life. Of course, there are ups and downs, lefts and rights, and plenty of diagonals but I am so lucky and truly honored to have WJ by my side in every direction we journey and looking forward to spending very long lives together.
