The First Steps...

So, I am biting the bullet, the BLOG bullet. I am finally sitting down, staring at a blank screen, deciding how to start to this, or shall I say, how to "Blog". Who is going to read this? Someone better...

I used to think blogging was selfish, and yes, as I am saying this, most of you who know me are not surprised that I am writing this then. But seriously, who has the time to sit down and write, and not just write... publish, their life? Me. Who would care?? I never did, until now. A dear friend of mine recently told me that I had inspired her to write a blog. Once I got over the fact that I wasn't being punk'd, I was flattered and wondered how the hell I inspired her. I had to read to find out. As I read the wonderfully painted details of her life, I soon realized that she was inspiring me to do the same.

So, here I go.

Let me start just by saying that the name of my blog is not completely accurate. I am a married man and a dad. Being married to another man, and being a dad is the accurate part. My husband and I have two kids, boys in fact, who are the light of our lives, the center of our worlds.

Now, I'm not going to bore you with every minute detail of our lives, like, what time we all woke up or when I changed my youngest son's diaper. The reason, or my intention of all of this is because I have recently realized that the life my husband and I live has been, and is an inspiration to many people we both know and meet. Understanding this has made me appreciate my life, and how much I truly feel blessed.

As I said before, I am a married gay man and a father of two, and of course, who live in the wonderful state of Massachusetts, whom we'd like to thank for respecting us as individuals and as a family. To be even more descriptive, we live on Cape Cod, which is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful places to live. I am a stay-at-home-dad, which I think is more more uncommon than gay families!

I look forward to sharing parts of my life with you all, whoever you are out there...

That's all for tonight, I gotta run, Desperate Housewives is on!
