So great to hear from you. I just told Josh you posted for the first time in ages. We both have fond memories of meeting you and your son in wine country.
I am so very happy for you. I truly believe that when you get busy living your life - the rest just falls into place. When you are out "looking" for it - it often shows. And desperation is not attractive.
Well, I'm right with you about the younger guy. Age is just a number, really. That's what Josh says. We just fit together. He IS a good companion. Someone I can enjoy cooking with, walking with, going out with or just reading alongside. We are part of a 2 person "team". And it just evolved naturally. We were still pretty early in the process when you met us.
Sounds like you've taken things slowly in your life. Got past that early "crisis" stage and discovered what is really right for YOU! I am so very happy for you.
