I will be shameless in my asking today.

I ask for your felicitations, well-wishes, congratulations, and faraway bear hugs.

I also welcome singing.

This morning, October the 20th, 2024, I married Robert Ordell Ozenbaugh.

I keep re-reading that sentence. And I find that saying the word husband is my new favorite entertainment. You have been warned.

One might say that it took us too long to find each other. But I would rather say, thank the good Lord that we did at all. I have spent much of my life not being sure about things. Men, jobs, decisions, faith. It feels completely unique to know, without doubt that I am meant to spend my remaining days with this one good man. As long as we both shall live. Halleluiah.
