I'm optimistic about this one. I've already got the bubbly chilling in the fridge.

THanks Antony. I definitely have to get up to date with the news more, NH is my home state, the one I associate with the most of remembrance, anyway. I would be so totally psyched if this goes through. Even though VT was the first, I have never envisioned NH as even entertaining the idea. Thanks for the update, Vanessa :love:

And how cool is it that they weren't forced by a court to make this decision?

I really think this is progress, and a very good sign. I really never thought NH would be active in such an endeavor. I would say I am cautiously optimistic about other future actions.......:pray:
