YES! Magazine Stamping my feet on the frozen ground of the National Mall on a bitter cold morning in January 2009, I didn’t think we had gathered to welcome a climate president.

It’s been exactly one year since @erickson_emily1 made one of the most questionable decisions in recent history and married my ass. Not sure how I managed to reel her in but I’m sure glad she took the bait. I hope our next year together lasts twice as long as the last one
