Lawyers, trash

I remember the third thing we're supposed to do this month: research same-sex marriage laws in our state. I've already done this, so I'm taking the next step and looking for an attorney to guide us through the legal papers we need to sign to make this thing for real. If I die, I want to make sure Kelley inherits the plastic tubs I call "memory boxes." They are full of greeting cards, photos and other important items -- such as big rocks from our family's Irish homestead and the first phone number I ever received on a matchbook. I'm sure she'll be able to tell their importance just be looking at them.
