A post I read yesterday took me back a few years. There is only one blogger I know in real life and she is the author of Reaching Meadow Lane.
The person she wrote about in her blog post yesterday was someone who joined our company at a very special time in my life. I was single and had finally accepted my fate. He started in the January of 2001, and his first task was to manage an IT project I had been assigned to. Along with two engineers who had recently joined our company. I remember walking into the kitchen and the manager lamented the fact that he had no “cooking clue” what he was doing in his new role outside of the military. Oh don’t worry about that, I quickly replied, I never have a cooking clue! A quote that stuck!
The four of us worked on the project in the jan, feb and March of that year. The project was successful and the two engineers and myself were given complimentary movie tickets “on the project”. A little match-making, I daresay 😉 Towards the end of March my one colleague started waiting for me in the basement so he could carry my laptop for me. Ha! On the 1st of April, a Sunday, we entered into a relationship. Up until that point he had been trying his best to remain a bachelor. Double ha! Gotcha! The following January we married, and are now living our happily ever after.
Congrats on the news in the US that those who would like to take the step of commitment may now have the opportunity to do so.
Inspired by the following post:

Oh! Makes me smile. Today in the States we celebrate the happy fact that the law that governs our land has agreed that anyone who wants to, may smile, smile, smile, hand-in-hand, with their beloved, and say…I Do.

Yes, I heard about it on the radio! Congrats! Australia still has to take that step, South Africa has taken that step a few years ago 🙂

Unfortunately we took that step but some miserable people reverted it. We need a long way to go.
