    You not only lift my spirit with your humor and your awesome taste in decor, but also with simple beautiful posts such as this. I have a son your age that is straight and another son that is 18 and just came out. YOU as young as you are just gave me the strength to believe that everything is going to be ok for my son and that he will find a good person that cares and loves him. Congrats on the 2 year anniversary and may you both continue on this beautiful journey together. Blessings

    A simple but sweet post! So touching! It inspires me to reminisce of when I first met my husband too. Sometimes, when you have been spending your life together for how many years already, you forget about the first day you actually met. You forget the feeling although you know love was never gone. This was me five minutes ago, but posts like this make you remember and made me appreciate the years we have spent together. Wishing you the best!

    Congratulations! You two are just so handsome!

    Oh hell, just get married already.

    Daniel,
    I’m confused. I thought you have been married
    to Grace of Design Sponge for a couple of yrs.?

      Daniel said:

      Wait…what?? HAHAHAHA. Um, no. I’m a boy who likes boys. Well, one boy, specifically, named Max, who works for Design Sponge and writes posts almost everyday. You might have read his post about how we met and not realized it wasn’t written by Grace? I’m not sure!

      Grace is a lovely person though, and a good friend. :)
