I saw the choice between two good men, but one who made my heart flutter and the other who might have been easier to move forward with, but who didn't make my heart flutter.

On the other hand like Liz indicated, it's rare to get through marriage to anyone without some drama. Probably best not to dive into it at the beginning, though. Torturing our characters is good, not so good in real life. rozdennyfoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06506701706951201107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442063056672240555.post-64566049846237592602017-02-27T04:47:54.007-08:002017-02-27T04:47:54.007-08:00Oooh....
