Thoughts....voting....life....

This is the time that I wish I still lived in Utah where most people agree with and have the same views as me. I've realized it's hard living around people who don't have the same views as you, because what you believe really does characterize who you are and what you do. It's hard to talk to people even in general anymore, because you don't want to offend anyone, but if someone says something you completely don't agree with you don't want to just sit there and not defend your opinion.

A lot of people I run into think I'm 19yrs old, which would be a compliment if I was thirty, I don't know what it is? the blond hair? the height? the clothes? all of the above? I wish I had a sign that said 22yrs old! I would stick it on my forehead! a lot of people think I'm too young to be married let alone being pregnant. But to me it's not about age but about responsibility, and attitude towards life, and maturity, Now I don't think everyone should get married at 19 and have there first kid at 22 but for me it is perfect and I wouldn't have it any other way. I have grown so so much being married, I would probably be at the same point in my life with no growth if I never got married so young. I feel so blessed to have a husband with the same values and beliefs as me, who has the same goals and wants the same out of life as I do.

I am so thankful to have the knowledge of the Gospel as I do. Although not all questions are answered, I know the Truth and with a lot of guidance I know I will be judged rightfully in the end. I am sad (and can be angry sometimes) for the people who don't have the gospel in their life. and I hope they will all accept it in the end. I am sad to see so many people change their beliefs for worldly things. It's sad to see religions who base their doctrine and beliefs on the Bible but would teach their children that it is OK to have a relationship with the same sex. When it is CLEARLY stated in the BIBLE that marriage is between Man and Woman and that gay relationships is an abomination (or did they change that part of the bible too?) I just found out Brad Pitt donated 100,000 dollars to ANTI-proposition 8. I wish I was a celebrity and could donate 1,000x what we actually did donate FOR proposition 8 and that I would have a good influence on a lot of people. When did God not matter anymore? I for one will be teaching my children that marriage is between a man and a woman and if they chose (because they can chose)to not believe that, then they can take that up with God, the one with the plan, the one that gave them the privilege of life.

As for politics and not moral values... I/We are pro-life, pro-traditional marriage, (still trying to figure out where we stand on the war) So with those 3 being our most important issues that we care about, we hope to make a good decision on who to vote for. Although regardless of who takes presidency we still plan on staying in the US and We think with all the government behind them, either or, will be a fine president! now if they would only stop bashing on each other and start talking more about where they stand on issues and what they are going to do, that would help us make our decision a lot easier! :)
