It's my blog, right?

So I got a hair cut today. I wanna look good for when Hell freezes over tomorrow. I kid - I kid. Actually the good news is that whatever happens is that nothing in my house is gonna change. This whole Prop 8 dealio has just help me sort out how I am going to approach Marie & future kiddies about same gender attraction.
Now, I have to preface the following by saying I'm a Libra. Libra's don't really care for confrontation, so discussing an emotional issue has been interesting for me. I know I was given strength beyond my means to do all the little things I was asked to do. And now that voting day is upon us I can feel my desire waining, and I am slowing to care for my new blog. It's been good though, replying to the comments. Rachel and The Devil... I mean Chad ;) have kept me on my toes and I hope will still do so in the future. Because however the outcome on the 5th I feel like I want to keep my new blog current. I have alot to say on marriage and families and it will be a good way to keep me reading good books and help me be a better writer. Even though, alot of the things posted I have taken from other people.
Speaking of which... I want to take a second and publicly embaress.. I mean THANK all the people that have been so encouraging... especially:
Christen- you rock. Keep the east coast real.
Matt & Bubs- The Indpendent Elephant makes me feel sane.
All the Youngbergs- Thanks for being such a rad family. We freakin' rock. And p.s. sorry I kind of abandoned editing our family site. I've been a touch busy... but I love your blogs.
B Man- thanks for voting Yes on 8. I like being married to you.
And most importantly- everyone that donated to YES on 8. I see the commercials you help pay for and it really makes my day. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

Ok so the rest of this posts is for you super conservatives out there. It's been a rough time, so I think we could all use a good laugh.

Here is the very first commercial yes on 8 commercial featuring Mayor Gavin Newsom. He has been the butt of many good jokes in our home. So good infact, I wanted to dress up as him for Halloween and walk around saying "Whether you like it or not!"- however I refrained.




Enjoy this little gem:


And lastly, (hopefully I have lost all my undedicated readers at this point) I DID end up writing Joe Biden a letter saying he owes me 5 bucks. I didn't want to offend anyone (I know like 60% of the people who view this blog are voting for him tomorrow) but Brett wont stop bugging me until I post it. I think I will wait until he wins though. Than 60% of my readers won't be annoyed, and 100% of Brett will be happy.

Marie My Favorite Chick

"Hmmm... this is warm."

"What has my life become?"

Of course, when she smiles the camera goes blurry!


Marie: The Cozy Chick

Birds of... well, yah we don't match at all. But hey- we're all birds!

If your looking at this picture and thinking, "Weren't Rachel and Brett birds last year?"

The answer is: yes.

The reason: I'm lazy. And also Brett agreed to be Big Bird for the rest of his life. He wasn't joking.

The top picture was not posed. I just realized that we had a similar one taken the year before with my nephew.

Lucked Out!

Sadie & Marie

We are so lucky to have met another couple here to hang out with.

Sam, Sadie, & Allison

Origionally they were going to be military people for Halloween. But Sam already is a military person (he flys planes!) so I bullied them into matching Sadie's kitty outfit. I know, I'm so bossy.

Bad Picture City! I just couldn't help myself, Marie's arms say it all.

Ode to the Pagan Holiday

Dad- Are you serious?... not again with the dress up

but... this giant hand promised me candy

So all I have to do is dress up...? I can do that!

Yes, she is "working on it" in this one. My little ballerina bear!

Question:
Heavenly Father, are you really there?

Answer:
Yes

Question:
Do you hear and answer every child's prayer?

Answer:
Yes. Even your's Rachel. But seriously you need to calm down, take a nap or eat a piece of fruit.

Continuing...

I know that Heaven is far away

Yah, far far away from California.

But I feel it closer as I pray.

True DAT! I have the best family ever!

So my previous post is about how way mad at Joe Biden I am. Mostly because I had these awesome signs that say "All Four Candidates Agree on Traditional Marriage" that I am to mail out to people.
So would it be alright if I just put an X over his face and wrote a note "flip flopped on 10/27/08, but I already made these copies... so that was inconsiderate on Bidens part."

Anyways, I am a part of something good here. I have friendships on shakey ground. But that just means I need to work harder to get people to understand.

Peace out.

Joe Biden- You don't win... win the contest of ruining my day. I worked hard on prop 8 today and even though you went on Ellen and totally Flip-Flopped (you butt kisser you) YOU DON'T WIN!
I had a good day because:
I slept in because my husband is very quiet at 6am so I could sleep.
My husband took me out to dinner because he knows I like it.
My daughter is GORGEOUS. She rocks my world and is a million times cooler than you.
Plus, I get to see her every day! And I can turn off the TV when you are on it so that is definately a plus.

However, since you are probably a lame-o everyday and my family is awesome everyday we'll say that stuff doesn't count.

What counts today is that when I was sign waving a 18 year old baggy-pants, long-haired kid walking by asked if he could sign wave with me and my group. I wasn't sure if I could trust him "Are you gona tear up the sign and walk away?" I asked him. "No," he said calmly, "I just want to help." He had two "homeboys" behind him who claimed to be his entourage just hung out listening to their ipods. This boy got sworn at more than any of us (I guess people don't have the guts to cuss out girls and kids) and he stood calmly and strong holding his sign.
He was so cool. He stood there for a good forty minutes before everyone had to leave. Just a cool kid, walking by, standing up for American's rights, trying to help others understand.

I'm so hurt by the media controlling people's point of view, but I will try to remember:
An error does not become truth by reason of multiplied propagation, nor does truth become error because nobody sees it. ~Mahatma Gandhi
