Here’s my wedding photo from nearly nine years ago. I always envisioned getting married in my twenties and having a big family, but that never came to pass. So, it was quite a shock to find love and get married at 49! I was living in my car and employed at the library when my friend Toi, also a librarian, introduced me to Richard. He had a cottage available for rent, tucked away at the Davis Mountains resort (accessible by a nine-mile dirt road). We started going on walks, he cooked meals, we watched TV, and I did my laundry at the main house. Four months later, he asked me out, and we were married three weeks after that!
