Dustin Got Married!

Dustin called me last Friday to tell me he and Frances went down to the courthouse and got married. He will soon be in the academy at the CHP and wanted Frances to be all squared away to be on his benefit plan, plus they will save money on taxes, etc. We laughed over the way marriage sounds like a business arrangement, but, in fact, it is really the only real reason to actually legally bind two lives. Dustin and Frances have been living together for a long time and are planning to have children ( the other reason to get married, at least for a man, you are automatically the legal parent of the child if you are married to the mother, but not if you are just named on the birth certificate, then you have to prove it with tests.), so this was a natural progression. But, wow one of my boys is married, kinda weird, and kinda exciting all at the same time.

The only picture I had of them together was taken at Christmas in 2007, oh well, at least I had one. Congratulations, you guys, I love you and wish you a happy life together...still.
