Some of you may remember that I lost my beloved husband, doper RickQ, four years ago. Although I have never been a prolific poster, being able to post here about my grief during my first year of being a widow was so helpful, and I met friends who were unbelievably kind.

Now I am able to say what I would have never believed possible then…I am getting married. I feel so lucky that I have found love again. Brandon (yes, yes, Brandon and Brynda) is a sweetheart, and I am so happy.

Yay for love.
