Steven is not a cuddler. I like to cuddle… a lot. It’s really bad when I’m sleeping. I sleep talk and laugh, but not nearly as much as I cuddle attack. While sleeping, I will roll over to whoever or whatever is next to me, glomp onto them with my arms, nuzzle my big honking head somewhere on their shouldery region, and throw my leg over them. ...

The rumors and dealing with my in-laws for example. They are crotchety people to say the least. Steven’s grandfather refused to come ...

I give my husband a hard time but he is great. For 3 years after I moved to Oklahoma we were best friends. We called, e-mailed, and talked whenever possible. We hung out at church and events. We always had a thing for each other, but both of us were scared to do anything. I was very stand offish about guys because most of the guys at our ...

It’s been a bumpy road for him. he dealt with discouragement from lack of parental or financial support, balancing work and school, dealing with me and my emotional upheaval and school, working on projects all night long for years, getting ...
