The Marriage of Michaeli and Mark (obligatory wedding pictures)
Michaeli lives in Harvest, Alabama with her husband, Mark. They have three cats, Henry, Louise, and Jefferson Twilight, and live the quiet and satisfying lives of two nerdy introverts. In her spare time, Michaeli enjoys gardening, playing the piano, singing, playing JRPGs, Tabletop gaming, and (of course) reading.
