J and I just recently celebrated our 8th Anniversary…can’t believe that eight years ago, the man that I love, my best friend, the person I tell everything, the person I can’t wait to see each evening, agreed to stand up with me and marry me. I am a very lucky girl.

But with our anniversary has come a lot of talk of the vote in CA and the passage of Prop 8 there. I truely can not believe that it passed. Because I don’t care where or how people find love, but I do believe that once they do – whether it be between a man and a woman, a man and a man, or a woman and a woman – they have a right to be married. To create the family that they choose to create. I can’t help but think what it would be like if J and I weren’t allowed to be married – oh I would still love him and be with him, but how would it make me feel that I couldn’t be married to him? He is my heart, my happiness – why would it be OK to take that away from other people?

Keith Olbermann makes a few great points, that I urge you to watch…

And to my hubby, I am in so lucky that you have chosen to spend your life with me. I said yes that day eight years ago and I say it every day since – I do, over and over, I do so love you.
