Perfect day...

This was my view at lunch today. We went to Barney's Beanery in Burbank to celebrate!! My sweetheart and I had just notarized our domestic partnership with the state of California and mailed it off to the powers that be. As soon as those powers be recognizing the fact that they are lagging behind states like Iowa, hopefully same-sex marriage will be legalized and recognized at a national/federal level. When that happens, and I know it's just a matter of time, I will marry my sweetheart in the presence of our family and friends. Actually that may happen before the nation catches up. We will be in Australia later this year and I know we both want the family and friends over there to celebrate with us.

The domestic partnership is just a legal formality, but I still felt the romance in my heart. I can't wait to stand up in front of everyone and ceremoniously declare my love for her. I can already see part of it it in my mind and I feel proud, blessed and immensely happy. What a beautiful life we have ahead of us.
