((RE)); you are funny! "When is the happy occasion ...?"  Which one?

We just moved in together, with all our stuff................ including children and cat.  First happy occassion was finding my socks, and her finding hers and my sons finding the bathroom.

Then the signing of the civil union bill happened and she announced to her niece in Malaysia that we would marry before asking me, I just happened to be in the room and over heard the news!  This will be in effect  Jan 2012.  after ther world ends again. :)

Later I asked if it could be more romantic, she said, "don't hold your breath! This is about rights, our committment is sealed.  Now our family will be protected under law that is it, what is for dinner?"  She is soooo romantic. :)

Actually she planned our honeymoon already.  :D.  It requires a passport  and a month, possibly 2.   And I am guessing I have to pack my own t.p.  'cuz it is not going to be in this country.

This is more home fires, but what the heck, I finally get to be legally recognized in court, hospital and everything else and I can't express what this really means to me as I am in happy tears.

I am darn near 50!  I am experiencing this while alive and my kids will get real benifits, that no one can dispute. 

Some do not understand, when my first partner died, we had wills, planned everything, her family disputed and won and I lost 14 years of everything.   All because I was not legally "next of kin".

15 years later...

This is not happening again! 

I am now more the next of kin.

No date set yet, no need.

Thank you!  I am living what appears to be a dream.

Reality is: I am also a mom of 2 teen boys, that officially makes me crazy.

The gay marriage domestic whatever one wishes to call it involves adoption, wills, major mediation, 2 lawyers, an accountent, a therapist, 2 life coaches, 3 bank accounts, a major commitment to communication often involving the f word not in a good way .    And the still wonder of a saint. Never mind we bought a home and must learn to live together .

And the very fine tuned fact that me and my mate are women.  

I almost fainted when I read the domestic partnership  document.  I think hetero folk call this a prenup?

Anyway, ((m22))

I am flat out nuts.  And loving every minute except when the cat poops on the bed and my boys talk back and my dear partner tells me something officially dumb.  Like, " don't throw out anything important" while I was dismissing a tissue.
