Canada

In 2008, Steve and I went to Canada to get married. At the time, there were only a couple of states in the US that allowed same sex marriage. We had already waited 16 years, and didn't want to wait any longer.

We decided that Niagara Falls would be our destination, and it was only the two of us, but we've never regretted it. We're used to it being just the two of us. Been that way for twenty-nine years.

Canada is a beautiful place. The people there are really nice, too. We had stayed in a hotel right on the edge of the falls. It was amazing. We were about 40 stories up, but still had to close the window at night because of the noise of the water. 

Canada was the reason we ended up moving to Colorado. We had thought Austin was so pretty and had great hills country and trees, until we went to Canada and saw real trees for the first time. When we got back to Austin, the difference was something that couldn't' be ignored.

We wanted badly to move to Canada, but the cost and qualifications are just too much. Man, it would have been so much nicer being there over the last four years than it was being here in the U.S. with the orange idiot in charge.

I pray that in November Joe Biden wins the election. He has to. The U.S. can't handle another four years. I won't be able to handle hearing some new story every morning of what the moron did the day before, or what he tweeted overnight.

If tRump wins again, it's either Canada or suicide, only time will tell which one.

Let's just keep our fingers crossed and pray as hard as we can.

Stay safe. Mask up. Protect others. 💓
