Darcy,
I get that. That is great on 18 years! I hope that the NJ case works out.
Gay/Lesbian marriages are a big issue right now in the Illinois govenor elections. Both of the main canidates are saying different things to the downstate voters (read hicks, hey I am from downstate IL I can say that) and Chicago area ones. But my feeling is neither one will do a damn thing.
Actually, I know they wont. My family is pretty well politically connected and they are telling me that nothing will come of this.
So Illinois voters, I guess pay attention to the upcomming elections.
We celebrate the anniversary of the day Natalie called me up and suggested that we be more than just "best friends" (Feb 27), the day of our first kiss (March 3), when we first said "I love you" to each other (June 3) and when we got engaged (March 12). Yes I am the one that remembers all of this stuff!
Plus with birthdays and mother's day and everything else I am always buying her a gift or doing something special.
One year I cooked her a sea food feast for her birthday. Broiled crab, salad, shrimp etoufee, and a (small) cheese cake. I am still living off of that good Karma! Last year I bought her a star. Yes there is a star out there in Episolon Picies that is named for her.
Hey for $50 maybe we ought to find a binary star system and have them named "Willow and Tara"!
I could see Tara leaving Willow little notes. Willow would want something elaborate. But in the end as long as they were together and sharing memories (and making new ones) they would be happy!
