On Monday, I'll be married 13 years. I make jokes that I haven't killed him yet, but I do believe I lucked out with this one. :)

My first fiance was a sadistic bastard and I am glad I found the courage to get away from him. Mark was a godsend after that. He really is the only person I could have married because he's the only one who would ever accept my unique "quirks" of which there are many.

I'm not a very social person. I'm an only child of a divorced mom and I basically grew up alone. I entertained myself by making up characters in my head and i've been writing ever since. In that way, I'm never alone in my head, but sometimes it's hard for me to get out of my head and into the physical world. I'll go weeks without speaking to any of my friends. Thankfully, the only friends I really have are the ones who understand that about me and don't hold it against me.

I've been told I'm difficult to get along with. I guess it must be true.

But Mark puts up with me. He stays with me through my "moods" and he believes in me more than I believe in myself. When I have no faith left, I have faith in him.

We're gonna go ride roller coasters to celebrate our anniversary. Hey, life's a series of ups and downs, might as well take them at high speed. :) We're headed out to Cedar Point for the weekend. It's close and we can afford the trip so off we go. I wish it would be a little warmer, but 60 is ok. Nights will be cold tho. But it'll be nice to get away with just him and not have to worry about being on anyone else's schedule. ;)

Be back on Sunday. Be safe all and play nice.
