I am very excited, about a weird thing; James and I went to get wills and power of attorneys yesterday! It is the closest thing that we can have to achieving some semblance of the protection that marriage bestows; if one of us were to die, our shit will go to the other one, and if one of us gets sick, we can visit the other one and make decisions on their behalf. I am excited, because it is good to have things like this in place before you need them, and there is no time like the present. Things are still being “Å“drawn up” and will be finalized in a week or two (expect another post when that happens… exciting stuff!). After reading one fellow blogger’s story, I was compelled to act on this as fast as I could, with the hope that we will never need them. I hope that this is merely an expensive precaution, and nothing more. But I strongly urge other gay couples out there to take similar action; just in case.
This doesn’t mean that we aren’t going to get married someday (do you think we could pass up an event as fabulous as a wedding?), so you bitches still get to hear ALL about that.
And don’t think that this gets you out of buying gifts for us either… we will definitely be exercising that privilege of marriage! After all, I have been to enough straight weddings and done my part, it is time for some retribution! Here’s hoping that marriage becomes legal SOMEWHERE in the US, so that James and I can jet set our way to wedded bliss in the near future. We already have rings picked out, and this bitch needs some bling, so I need an excuse to go ahead and order them. As more progresses with that, you will be updated. That is all for now.
