I met Lisa on September 16,1994 in a lesbian bar. That’s why last night was such a perfect send off for our last weekend in Austin. We had spent the day packing the trailer. Looking from our pile of stuff to that tiny trailer had caused me some exceedingly restless nights. Lisa’s history of packing 18-wheelers gave me some hope, but I still had little faith. The end results were amazing. We had help from our sons, their dad and Lisa’s cousin. I was in charge of recording where everything was put in the trailer, writing furiously as they squeezed things into every nook. If I didn’t see it with my own eyes, I would never have believed how much we fit in that trailer.
Friends had told us of a fun sounding event happening last night. It was a reunion of folks who used to hang at a bar named Rusty’s, long gone the way of lesbian bars in Austin. We took naps, dusted off our only pair of clean shorts and headed over to Maria’s Tacos for an old fashioned lesbian soiree and drag show. We had a blast. A last chance to dance a little two-step, run into some old friends and visit the time capsule of our past. It was absolutely the best send off possible. Had I not seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed we could step back in time, except of course for the cell phones, gray hair and extra weight LOL.
An end to a perfect day.
Fit this in the Trailer? OMG
Packed
Find Something? I doubt it.

What a day it was! An amazing day with my kids and family. Thanks for all your help.
Dancing was fun as always. I love being in the arms of my wife. I remember when we first met and she was teaching me to dance. I didn’t have a clue how to two step. But she whirled me around the floor and I would just look up and laugh the entire time. Now when we dance, it feels like pure love.

Reading about your adventure is bittersweet. While I am incredibly proud of you two, I am also breathing into the immense change it brings to our family. Who knew in 1994 when all of this began, & in 1996 when we moved 6 miles apart that in 2013 we’d be living in different countries.
