I hope everyone had a fabulous Labor Day weekend! Ours was really busy. Em had friends visiting and we went out Saturday AND Sunday night. I am over 30 now and by Sunday night I had a realization. I refused to have a drink. My body just couldn’t take it, so big shouts out to everyone who kept the party going!
It was nice to be off yesterday and just relax. Em and I stayed in bed ALL day. During our movie day marathon we ran across one called ‘Edie and Thea – A Very Long Engagement’. We are a few years late on this so many of you have probably already seen it. This touching and inspiring story was about a lesbian couple who had been together for 42 years. They had so many pictures from the time they met all the way up into their old age and it really helped to draw us in. The way they took care of each other and stayed in love throughout the years inspired me so much.
I don’t want to give spoilers, so I won’t say too much. I will say that everyone should watch this movie. If you have any doubts about the substance of same-sex relationships and any heart at all, there is no way to continue refuting that love is just simply that….love.
The movie is actually on the Netflix instant stream right now and I’ve noticed that you can watch it in its entirety in several places online. I’d love to know what you think about it.
