I, Paul, in the presence of the Gods and our friends, take you, Laura, to be my partner in life. I will trust, honor and respect you.

He is now in his own apartment with most of his own stuff. (He still has some things at our place, but he's mostly moved.) I have brought in the old couch and bookcases, but we've left his bed up for the ( Read more... )

Ben's moving out on Saturday. He bought a car a few months ago (his prerequisite to moving out), continued to save, and has enough to cover the necessary expenses. He made a deposit at the beginning of the month and will sign the final lease agreement and pick up the keys on Saturday morning ( Read more... )
