I was diagnosed with MS in February of 2013. I am a married lesbian and I have been with my wife since 2000. We had a commitment ceremony in Iowa in 2003 before it became legal there. We moved to FL where I was born and raised (she's from IA and we met online) in 2005. We have decided against having children, and instead have animals. :) I am a struggling addict, about to get treatment, so you will read that here. I do not censor myself. You have been warned!! <3
