Yes, I feel the love.

As long as I am counting my blessings... I don't think I've mentioned lately how blessed I am to have found the missus.

Let me count the ways...

The missus is a woman who has incredible strength and courage. A woman who is a pioneer and a leader, a woman who risked everything and came out on top. A woman who quit smoking over a year ago and quit drinking 6 months ago. A woman who brings me warm nuts, because I've had a rather shitty day, AND did all of my laundry (folding included - now that's love!) A woman who, though she hates most sports, will indulge me my fevered enthusiasm whatever the season might be. A woman who rolls her eyes at my bucket of nuts and bolts Ford but will put on a wrap and go for a ride, because it makes me smile. A woman who loves reading and laughing and learning and living life! A woman who is just as dorky in private as I am and makes me snort and laugh like no other. A woman who has the courage to risk and change and grow and encourages me to do the same. A woman who ...

I think I'm drunk.

Did I mention she's really hot?

that's the coolest...
and yet, those born-agin'-types would say that you and your missus shouldn't be together: it's abnormal, it's sinful, etc. etc.

how many of them do you suppose have as wonderful a marriage as you have?

have a great weekend!

So, I'm young...and I'm random...but I've been reading your blog for several months now and I had to let you know how inspirational I find it. I have no lesbian role models and very few queer peers. It's easy for me to start worrying whether or not "they're" right about two girls in love. But your laid back attitude, your zest for life, and most importantly, the comfort and security you take in your relationship is really something I look up to. Thank you for telling it like it is here for us to read.

wow-- as someone whose missus of the last five years recently moved on, your post made me teary. it's great to hear people who are in love being grateful for what they have. enjoy it to its fullest, as it sounds like you are doing.
