I can't possibly go into detail on everything that's happened in the past 1.5 years, but here's a list:
- I met a wonderful man through okcupid.com (85% match). Ironically, there's just one letter difference between his first and last names and that of my late husband!
- We got engaged in March 2007 and married in November. This was my longest engagement ever, but I had known my other 2 husbands for longer before friendship turned to romance, so this was the longest total time between meeting and meeting at the altar. ;-) Oh, and I didn't change my name.
- I moved to NJ -- living together seemed like the thing to do, and Bill's job is less transferable than mine (and it provided a significantly-higher portion of our combined income). My dogs and his cat are getting along quite well, so I'm 2-for-2 on successfully-blended families.
We just got back from 10 wonderful days in London -- 3 royal palaces (Tower of London, Kensington, and Hampton Court), 3 plays (39 Steps, Billy Elliott, and Spam-A-Lot), and 3 church services (Lincoln's Inn chapel, St. Paul's, and Westminster Abbey). Oh, and a music hall performance that was a revue, rather than a play. We also spent a fair amount of time with David & Angela, good friends of Bill's for the past several years. (He spent Christmas with them the year after his wife died.) Hotel bills and kennel bills were neck-and-neck; fortunately, we used frequent flyer miles for the airline tickets.
New resolution: post more frequently. (It won't be hard to improve my average!)
Cheers!
