icourtland!

Sunday – July 27 – about 1pm

well, i guess we have 2 anniversaries now. and ain’t it grand. no ceremony, no fuss and no muss (except for my wind-blown hair that is) just a little bit of a wait in a friendly line and here we are, officially domesicated!

ok – i’m being silly.

this really means a lot more to me than that. at this point we are not allowed to be “actually” married, and you would think that after seven years we should be. this is as close as we can be. i still just thank all the stars that i can see that i found someone that loves me enough to be my partner in more than just name. we are actually legal partners.

it still doesn’t sound as good as being married, as good as calling M my “husband” – “domestic partner” just does not have the same ring (so to speak). once things change we just might have to do something about that.

kind of strange, actually, that in some musty records office there is a legal document that proclaims that our relationship is “real and valid” in the eyes of the state.

it has always been that way to me…
