Support, patience, kindness, understanding, and did we mention PATIENCE? Those are the foundation blocks of our relationship. We came into each other's lives when we each needed the other the most - just maybe not when either one of us would have picked to start and maintain a relationship.

We each had careers to grow or education to finish, or in my case boys to raise (Marc should be included in that LOL). Marc was very clear about needing his focus to be on furthering his career, and I was happy to support him - sometimes from afar because South Dakota is COLD.

As we continued to navigate our individual lives, it became apparent to both of us that we didn't want to keep walking through life together but separately, and Marc decided to come back to Florida so we could find a place for our clothes to cohabitate. Covid may have delayed that clothing cohabitation a bit longer than either of us anticipated!

Then came the day Marc decided to get down on one knee, and we started making all the calls, and sending out the texts telling everyone we were getting married. And we were met with one resounding answer - FINALLY! Or to quote Marc's Unka Don - "Took you long enough!"

It may not have been a short trip to the altar for us, but it was definitely the perfect trip for both of us!
