My husband is not my soul mate.

Originally posted on The Art in Life:
It might seem odd that on this, our one-year anniversary, I am beginning a post with the declaration that my husband is not my soul mate. But he isn’t. I wouldn’t want to imagine life without James. I enjoy being with him more than anyone else in this…
