I met my husband December 2006. We became best friends and we began dating in August 17, 2007. We moved in together July 6, 2010. We got engaged December 5, 2010. I bought the domain 20andEngaged.com 2 days later. My first post on the blog was January 4, 2011. We got married 2 years ago [...]

How’s Separated Life?
It’s hard to believe I’ve been away for over a month, but the hiatus was much needed. I didn’t want to say anything while I was in a state of confusion and depression.
