I spoke to my cousin Jen tonight, and got to hear the great news. (They were one of the 6 couples who brought about the lawsuit for same-sex marriage in Iowa). I hate to admit that when I saw the headline on CNN I had this intense feeling of guilt because it has been a long, long time since we chatted on the phone. This photo is from June 05, (I stopped by on my way from Colorado), so it is a bit dated-but it captures what great parents they are. It was nice to catch up on family news as well. Anyway, Jen is incredibly special since she was actually the first family member I came out to, and she has been such a great support and role model. She was funny, when one of the reporters called her this evening and asked her how she was going to celebrate, she said "make dinner and get the kids to bed."B
