Just blame it on the truth.

I have a cousin that is gay, a friend that is a lesbian and placed a baby for adoption. What does all this have in common? Prop 8... I'll get to my point in just a moment. I've hesitated for sometime about posting on Prop 8. Since having Max and learning all the facts about adoption, I'm really stuck between a rock and a hard spot. I love my cousin and friend dearly and know for a fact that the homosexual tendencies started from the time they were in preschool, it is not something they woke up one morning and decided to go against the grain. I do believe that it is a choice they make and do or do not choose to act upon.

Since adoption has entered my life, I have learned so much. Am I grateful Proposition 8 passed? YES. If it did not pass, LDS Family Services would have to adopt to homosexual couples, which they would not do and they would have to close their services in California and people in California would not be able to adopt through LDS Family Services. (I hope I got that right...Mrs. R explains it soo well here) On the news last night, surrounding the LA LDS Temple, there were protestors. I don't understand where they think throwing tantrums, stopping traffic, upsetting people trying to get to work is going to get them?

I was reading a thread on facebook. It broke my heart. I had to just shut my computer and stop reading the profanities against the church. This person, a former strong member of the church, now slamming it with all their friends because Prop 8 didn't pass. They have to blame it on something, why not the truth.

Being that it is November and November is National Adoption Month, it makes me squeel with great joy that Prop 8 passed. It does have a lot to do with adoption. Children need an eternal family that they can return to their Heavenly Father with. They need a mother and a father to do that. Marriage between a man and woman is sacred. Thank you California voters who said YES to Prop 8!

I will end there, Obama is another post. Oh.boy. History? Yep. The Second Coming kind of history.

No, I'm just kidding... I think he'll do OK. Let us just live each day at a time!

A Good Man

A good man is hard to find.
“Never make a man your priority when you are nothing more than his option.”
I live by that quote.
For the last two and a half years I have been looked upon as the option.

I no longer accept that.

If his “buddies” are more important, or he wants to “hang out” after he is done with his plans for the night—and I’m the one going to his place, or for a date he doesn’t come pick you up…I have to get that obviously, there is something wrong and I’m the option in this picture. I was so blinded to all this for TWO years.

TWO YEARS friends.

I’m just now seeing the picture.
I look at the amazing men my sisters are married to and see what great guys they are.

I hope to someday find one like them.

I am so happy for my Jill Pill. She has definitely found an amazing man that she deserves and is so happy in love! I am so proud of her and the changes she has made!
