I have a confession to make. More like a realization that I have come to terms with. Before starting this blog, I was looking for some sort of outlet for my desires. I thought that with all the issues that I have been having with my marriage that maybe an affair would be what I wanted, although I could never bring myself to cheat.

I always preferred the snow anyway so it makes sense to move again. That night though all I wanted to do was sleep. My allergies were acting up and I had taken a bunch of medicine.
