Look at how cute we are and how happy I am. Two years ago when I first started dating Maddie I could have never expected what we have today. I feel so damn lucky to have such an amazing person as my other half. We’ve made it through so much together and we have so much more to conquer. Whenever I think about my future, she’s just there. And I hope she’ll always be. She’s the most amazing girl I have ever met and I can’t wait for the anniversaries to come.
It’s so hard for me to put into words how I feel, but I’ll just leave it at I love you.

So for Valentine’s Day Maddie made me a real dinner. It was so nice to come home from work and have a super nice dinner with my super beautiful girlfriend. It was such a surprise and so delicious and I’m really excited to have leftovers. Oh and she left a rose on my car windshield for when I went to work. What a sap. She’s the best and I love her so much :’)

“She’s My Baby” by The Rocket Summer
Last night was so perfect. Besides The Rocket Summer playing a flawless show, Bryce decided to invite couples on stage for a prom-esque slow dance. I grabbed Liz and pulled her to the stage and we danced up there with a few other couples during “She’s My Baby.” It was such a fairy tale situation, I don’t even know how to describe it. Liz was sobbing and singing and we were holding one another and it just felt right. I’m thankful we could actually have that moment after it was taken from us last May. I had such a good time.

Real talk.
I’m really thankful to have such an open-minded and accepting family. Liz came to our Thanksgiving dinner last night at my Uncle’s, and not one of the thirty people there were unkind or not accepting to her. They’re an incredibly friendly and lovable bunch, and they let her in like they always have to strangers, and let her laugh along with us. I know how much trouble a lot of people have with families when it comes to sexuality, coming out, and bringing their girlfriend or boyfriend around, and I can only realize how amazing it is that I’ve had only minute and negligible problems. Hell, even Nanny, an 83 year old woman from Dallas, Pennsylvania and lifelong catholic treats her the same as she’s treated any of us and our significant others throughout the years. I’m incredibly blessed.
This sums it up. Also side note, Nanny is da best.

High School Students Crowned America’s First Lesbian Homecoming Couple
Two California high school students became one of the first lesbian couples crowned homecoming king and queen in the nation this weekend.
Rebeca Arellano, a senior at Patrick Henry High School, was made the school’s first female homecoming king when her name was announced Friday at a pep rally.
“They were chanting my name and it was one of the most amazing experiences I’ve ever had,” said Arellano.
Arellano’s girlfriend, Haileigh Adams, who also attends Patrick Henry High School, was made homecoming queen at Saturday night’s dance.
“I was happier than when I won, my little Haileigh has just been announced Homecoming queen and I couldn’t feel happier! Thanks to every single one of you! You guys made this happen and we are all part of something huge. I can’t fully express how grateful I am. I am in completely shocked that this happen. My girl looks absolutely flawless,” wrote Arellano on Facebook Saturday night.
The two girls told ABC News that they’re thankful for the abundance of support they’ve received from family, friends, and students and staff at the school.
Arellano said one of her teachers told her, “Today school is a bit better because of you girls.”
Arellano’s Facebook wall is covered with congratulatory notes from her friends.
“Thank you all for allowing this change to happen,” Arellano posted on Facebook.
Adams said they have received negative feedback as well.
“We have a lot of support, but there are also a lot of people who are angry about it,” she said. “Anonymous Patrick Henry students are saying they’re embarrassed and that it’s wrong for a girl to take the spot of king. But there’s no other way for us to run as a couple. It’s not really fair for us not to have the right to run as a couple.”
Arellano posted a statement to those who opposed her on her Facebook wall that read: “For all the girls who think tradition should be continued, go back to the kitchen, stop having sex before you’re married, get out of school and job system, don’t have an opinion, don’t own any property, give up the right to marry who you love, don’t vote, and allow your husband to do whatever he pleases to you. Think about the meaning of tradition when you use it in your argument against us.”
Adams and Arellano both came out their freshman year of high school, and they began dating in February of their sophomore year. They say their parents were supportive both when they came out and when they started dating.
Ahh so cute :3 I hope they continue to be happy together!
Today my sister is coming to temple to go to the library. She’s in 10th grade. When I did that 4 years ago I found my necklace that I love so much. I can’t believe it’s been 4 years how cute.
