Pride!

This past weekend the family attended Pride in our nearest big city.  What an amazing day! 
Our eldest was slightly disturbed by the men running around in thongs, but other than that, it was extremely family friendly.  We assured him that WE didn't get it either.  lol
To be surrounded by families LIKE US was a feeling I can't describe.  Living out here in the boonies, it's easy to forget that we aren't the only lesbians in the world.  Sure, there are a bazillion and one blogs written by lesbians, but it's far different to actually sit next to and talk to other two mommy families.  I think it did the boy a world of good to see other families, also.
I worry, sometimes, what will he think when he's older?  He's only 10 and he thinks it's great that he has two moms.  I worry what his father will say to him.  I worry that other kids will pick on him.  I worry, worry, worry!!!!  This whole "mom is a lesbian thing" kind of sneaked up on him.  He obviously doesn't know about my forays to the dark side in college.  He doesn't know about the girl in high school.  He doesn't know, period.  He just knows that my redneck lesbian lives with us and we are getting married.  I wonder what questions he will have as he ages and will he ask me?  If he doesn't ask me, it terrifies me to think whom he WILL ask.
All in all, it was a fabulous weekend.  Off to the amusement park today with two kids.  I will sleep for a week after this!

Welcome!

Since my lovely redneck lesbian girlfriend keeps asking me if I've started the blog yet...I suppose I should start the blog, huh? 

I will start with who the heck we are.  We are two newly out lesbians that are head over heels in love.  Well, can you be "newly" out if it's been over six months?  We've been together a year now and are planning our commitment ceremony for summer of 2012.  We live in a very small town in the midwest.  We like guns, country music and big trucks.  We don't exactly fit the mold of traditional lesbians.  Hence, we are redneck lesbians (RESBIANS). 

We have blended our families - I have a ten year old son and she has a 17 month old daughter.   We also have our furry kids (as all good lesbians SHOULD! ha ha) One pooch and two cats.  Needless to say we live in a bit of a zoo. 

The point of this blog is to chronicle how we got here, how we are building our family and challenges we face.
