important public service announcement...

we've put this off for a long time but it needs to be said.

matti and i are no longer.

no, neither of us strayed. it was not something matti did, it was not something i did. but it is something that was bound to happen and we're better off for recognizing it now as opposed to 2 years, a marriage, and a bunch of complicated paperwork later.

while we continue to be the closest of friends who share a love for each other, there will be no wedding and the house will likely be put up for sale in the spring.

yes, it is a difficult time and we're both hurting but we thank and love all of our friends and family who have been and continue to be so supportive.

hugs to all...
