We spent the day at Greenlake and juggling fans in this big ol' house of Robin and Noels. I found a fan in the basement and, after being down there, decided that I would try to suck the cold air from the basement and blow it upstairs. This has saved us today. Got that thing at the top of the basement stairs and it feels great here on the first floor. Now, the second floor is a different story. But, we've pulled all the windows open and it's getting better up there.
This evening, we went next door to have dinner with Doug and Mark. Doug and Mark are clients of mine. They just happen to live next door to one of my best friends. They are a gay couple that have been together for 10 years. They have 2 adoptive daughters ... they are biological sisters, by the way. They moved up to Seattle last year after living in LA for a long time.
The day that California passed a law allowing gay marriage, Mark e-mailed Doug and said, "Will you marry me?" Apparently, Doug didn't know that the law had been passed that day. So, he was, like, "huh?" In any case, They got married this day, last year. They are wonderful daddies to Becca and Hannah. They are wonderful friends, clients, neighbors, and human beings. Gracious and honorable. Oh, and they can make a mean dinner of chicken, corn, bread, watermellon, and red velvet cake.
I felt, for a few hours, like I was back home.
Here's to you, Doug and Mark. Happy anniversary.
xoxo,
Anna
