Three Years of Linus

November 15th, 2006

Today is Steve’s and my anniversary (the Las Vegas one, not the wedding one). So this marks three years of my being a step-pet-owner to Linus. Monday we hosted the homeowners meeting at our house. This was the best night of Linus’ life. There were several purses for him to make out with, a number of laps for him to knead and plop on, and hands—Oh, the HANDS!

This also marks three years since Stevel and I held hands in front of a marriage clerk in Las Vegas and vowed to honor and cherish each other for all our lives. The security guard served as our witness. I was chewing a stick of Big Red gum; the marriage office required cash, exact change, so we had had to go around the corner to a drug store and make a purchase to break a twenty. Afterwards we went to Hoover Dam.

We’ve already weathered turbulence, not in our relationship so much as in life-circumstances, and it’s already clear to me I can’t survive without this guy. He’s supportive and understanding, and he makes me laugh every day.

Of course, I feel the same way about Stevel.

    So that’s why I delivered a pack of gum (minus one piece) to Steve at your wedding!

    Dude, none of us can live without him. He’s a part of the family now.

    > Afterwards we went to Hoover Dam.

    Is that a euphemism for something?

    HAPPY DAY TO YOU BOTH.

    THANK YOU FOR BRINGING BOTH OF THESE WONDERFUL GUYS IN TO OUR FAMILY.

    ONE OF COURSE TENDS TO BE MORE SOCIABLE THAN THE OTHER.

    THANK GOODNESS STEVEL DOES NOT WANT TO BE PAMPERED LIKE YOUR SON.
