New Marriage

It's been a while since I've written to you all about what has been going on, mostly because I've been too busy living instead of writing.

The very nice baker I told you about is now my husband; we eloped to the court house in January. We're sharing a house with his best friend at the moment and looking for our own. it's wonderful to be in a situation where I'm treated with respect and partnership, but I also love him to pieces.

I'm still teaching, and adding on new schools every semester it seems. I will be teaching a couple of online classes next fall, which will further my ability to teach without adding to my gasoline bill.

My heart is actually very full right now, which is a new thing for me. There are, of course, all the little annoyances that usually creep in. For example, students who skip class but refuse to believe they'll fail if they only attend once every couple of weeks or the difficulties of sharing a small house with one adult I'm married to, one adult I'm not, and one bathroom, but these are all background noise. I'm happy in love, I'm growing in my job, and I'm looking for a new home to nest into. I'm looking forward to growing the relationship between the Baker and I, and also taking some time (for the first time in about a decade) to nurture myself and interests as well as friendships outside my marriage.

Life is sweet.
