I have to confess that I have barely had time for DS, I tape it and then neglect to watch. (The Leviathan story line contributes to this, it is my least fav.)
But, I have DO have a good excuse. I am getting married! I have found the person that I was born to be with. We have been friends for several years and growing ever closer all that time. We just have so much in common that it is uncanny. He is a dedicated Christian and my respect for him has grown and grown as I've watched him over time. A love of horror films and the supernatural was one of the first things we discovered, so we always discussed that. He loves books even more than I do, though horror and theology are probably the only genres we share an interest in reading. When we began seeing each other away from church, we found out we had much more, such as both being artists (I don't do it currently, he has stayed with it much better than I) and enjoying writing.
Anyway, I have heard of a few great loves and read about them, but I never really thought it could happen to me. Or, at 47 years old, I had just given up on the thought years ago. He treats me so well, my kids like him and he is good with them, he even understands better than most my mentally ill son. I have never been so happy in my entire life. Just wanted to share that with my friends here. I know several of you have great marriages and that has always inspired me that it CAN be done.
