An interesting set of conversations following the Prop 8 issues in California heightened my awareness of something very real to me :
This beautiful lady is my wife.
The state of Washington might not say so because we don't have a piece of paper that says so. But we say so. We've made our vows and commitment to our life together that in our eyes and God's eyes are a marriage that's real and true.
And while our ceremonial wedding is currently planned for June 27th, we are, for all intents and puposes, husband and wife, woven inextricably into the fabric of each others' heart and soul for all time.
I love you Sheryl.
