Look how productive Gabrielle and I can be...
While she’s been in Chicago for this past week, she found this amazing site and surprised me with a half complete mind map of all of our wedding plans! The categories she listed included: clothing, reception, colors, general feelings, guests, invitations, and ceremony. I saw it, immediately had my little OCD heart flutter, and added wedding blog, registry, honeymoon, decorations, and...

Wait! We're lezBEEans too! →
Yay! Wedding Bee just got their first gay blogger! Except that we kinda wanted to be on the site, too. Wedding Bee, do you have room for two queer couples?

In the Fishbowl
I was trying to think really hard if this was a not-married thing (which, for us, roots in a gay thing) or if it is merely and essentially just a gay thing. But either way, my mind has been fixated on it for some time, both during the holidays and Winter Break, and now, the day that Gabrielle’s grandmother died. I just can’t get over how juvenile it all seems. As if I’m stuck in a juvenile state,...
Gosh.
It wasn’t THAT long of a list. And they weren’t ALL boys.
Geez.
On Second Thought...
We are writing this blog, so perhaps all self congratulations should cease for now…
Self Reflection.
After spending several minutes mocking lesbian couples on Facebook we had to hurriedly check out own wall to wall, just to make sure we don’t sound “like that.” Thankfully, there were no pet names aired on our wall…

Rebuttal: How times change.
In response to Gabrielle’s January 13th post reacting to my journal entries, I composed the following rebuttal in a couple of brief, key points:
1.) I find it a little concerning that these two quotes she selected are the only two things Gabrielle felt were worth mentioning, considering that I showed her them to remember the eulogy that I wrote for my grandmother and grandfather when they...
How times change.
This evening Tara and I were randomly looking through some of her old journal entries. I was glad to see that the first mention of me was:
“Should I start a relationship with someone who I know it won’t work out with?”
My second mention was in her winter break to-do list. “Hang out with Gabrielle” was probably number 65 or so on the list. And it was directly under...

I kicked myself
—all day this morning on my bike ride to the train station for accidentally leaving for work five minutes early. I would tell myself, “Well, it’s only five minutes,” but I kept finding myself looking at my watch after every other block thinking about how stupid and absentminded I was for leaving without looking at the time. For whatever reason, I just couldn’t get...

On my ditching church...
Gabrielle: I'm off to win our place in heaven, Tara.
Tara: I don't believe in heaven.
G: I do. And I'm taking you with me.

Gabrielle and I found a new SF park!
After running some errands and having a bit of time left on our City Car Share rental, we went up for a drive in Twin Peaks in search of a new park. We quickly stumbled upon Tankhill Park, an old hill that used to store drinking water from Laguna Honda and that was built in 1894. It was great exploring the area and discovering a tucked away part of the city that uncovered an amazing view and a...
