Dearest DC friends,
Some of you may have noticed that I haven't been as "present" here as I had been in the past. That's due to a lot of things, most of which have to do with juggling my life after Buck's death...trying to keep myself sane, juggling our business, managing my finances alone, making it through our horrific ice storm last January, many other issues that are so many I can't even think of them right now.
However, amidst all that I took time to open myself up to getting my life back and meeting people. And, yes, I DID meet someone and his name is Glenn. He's a doll and every bit a good as Buck. He treats me like a queen 24/7 and loves my children and grandchildren.
Now, as Paul Harvey would say, here's the "rest of the story."
On a very sunny, beautiful afternoon - Halloween, to be exact - Glenn and I were married. We were married by one of my dear, dear friends and we had the ceremony at the gazebo in Paducah where Glenn and I met for the first time.
There were only a handful of folks there, Constance and her husband, along with another friend and our witnesses. We didn't tell our families until this last weekend. All our families are happy, happy, happy for us and WE couldn't be happier ourselves.
I never thought I would be this happy again. Losing Buck was the worst thing that had ever happened to me. Glenn is very understanding and knows all about the circumstances of Buck's death and our marriage. He's very supportive and, when I have bad days, he cries along with me. If you know anything about country music, the words to Keith Urban's song, Only You Can Love Me This Way, pretty much sum up what Glenn is to me.
We visited in Atlanta, GA last weekend with 3 of my 5 children and Glenn told them that, "no matter what, he loves their mother and will always take care of her." He DOES take care of me and it's just getting better and better.
I've come back to life and can't wait for each new day to begin. I feel like a teenager and am so thankful that I have the opportunity to begin writing another chapter in my life.
And, I can't finish this announcement without thanking all of you for your love and support. I couldn't have made it without you. DC has become a family to me and I love you all very much.

I need'nt have worried. Now you 're always talking with the Katie voice I remember. Gil loves when he answers and hears you. He and I wish you both the very best and a long happy life together,
