we've known each other for nearly 20 years. we always wanted a family, both being from big, loving families. i'm the youngest of 6, from a large italian-american family... grew up with lots of extended family, nieces, nephews, cousins, etc. my partner (and let me just say that the word partner doesn't fit our relationship at all, he's my husband, though we'll just have to wait for the rest of society to get it) is from a smaller close-knit family. we live in northern california, but were both born and raised in massachusetts. we moved to the suburbs in 2000, the same year i turned 40. the neighbors were hesitant about two gay guys moving in... but over the next few years they got to know us and aren't fazed by it at all. we bought a 2 bedroom house that sits on a corner lot in a tree-lined neighborhood, close to the freeway but still tucked away. over the next 4 years we completed several upgrades, namely renovations to the bathroom and kitchen, and other upgrades throughout the house. we also converted the garage into a family room, which includes a guest sleeper, an office, and a play area for the kids.
