We’ve come a long way from our first meeting at Pride five years ago, and our village has been there with us from the beginning. You’ve been gently (and sometimes not-so-gently) encouraging as we shyly got to know one another and patient as we hemmed and hawed over taking each step - whether it was U-Hauling, buying a home, or becoming insta-parents. You opened your hearts to A & Z and rose to the occasion when we needed parenting advice or time off for a date night or even a trek to Machu Picchu. As the world turned upside down for all of us in this last year, you were still there. We are so grateful to have found each other, to have shared so many adventures already, and to have each expanded our village to include all of you. We cannot wait to celebrate this next step with you.
