Proposition 8-Please read!

Proposition 8 - Please Read!

Failure to pass Proposition 8 will hurt children. If gay marriage remains legal, public schools will put it on equal footing with traditional marriage. Children will likely receive "age appropriate" information about sexual relations within heterosexual and homosexual marriages.Failure to pass Proposition 8 will hurt churches. The court's decision will inevitably lead to conflicts with religious liberty and free speech rights. Society will become more and more hostile to traditional beliefs about marriage and family. Over time, greater acceptance of nontraditional marriage will be demanded of all people. This could impact the ability of any religion to teach and practice its beliefs. Including adoption agencies.A YES vote will not hurt gays. In California , the law provides for marriage-related benefits to be given to civil unions and domestic partnerships. Proposition 8 does not diminish these benefits.For your information:On Friday, October 10th, 2008 a first-grade class took a field trip to witness a lesbian wedding in California . CLICK HERE for the article from the San Francisco Chronicle.A father in Massachusetts was frustrated when his twin kindergartners were taught about homosexuality at school by the teachers. He insisted he be notified in the future before such things were discussed so he could pull his boys out of school.He was taken to jail. Click Here for the story.A Catholic adoption agency In the UK closed their doors because of the Government's new homosexual equality laws. The Equality Act forbids discrimination in the provision of goods and services on the basis of sexual orientation. The law was forced through Parliament last year despite past Prime Minister Tony Blair's recommendation that Catholic adoption agencies be exempted from the rules. Click Here for more info.Earlier this month judges in Connecticut overturned the state law (just as the judges in California did) to legalized gay marriage. This is not just an issue in California . We voted years ago to keep traditional marriage as the only marriage recognized in the state of California , 4 judges overturned our vote…and we need to fight back. That is what this Proposition is about. This is happening everywhere and the leaders of the church and others have warned that the outcome of California 's vote will affect the way the other states vote. So PLEASE…even if you don't live in California , put this on your blog or email this on. The internet knows no state line. You know contacts in California that I don't…and so do your friends. Please pass this on as it could eventually have an effect on everyone!

sorry to keep you waiting...

I just wanted to post a couple of pics you all have been asking for.

Our new car.... I like to call the color purple-blue, what do you think?


15 weeks along!!! I really don't think I'm showing. I think i just have a pudge of fat. but last night Jason decided that I am showing a little bit, and my pants are starting to get uncomfortable so I guess I should start documenting...

Maternity clothes

I bought my first maternity clothes today! Target was having a sale so I thought I would hop on that while I could. It was funny trying on maternity clothes cause they are huge on me, but I know they will fit once my belly starts growing. My pants are just starting to feel tight this week, and I can't wait to find some good dresses, I think I will be sporting those my whole pregnancy. I don't like the feeling of tight pants around my belly, it's so uncomfortable.
This week I finally am not so natious and I'm able to hold my food down! Wahoo! I know Jason is so excited and already expects me to be the way I was before the pregnancy. but for some reason I'm still really tired and I can get very faint when standing and doing hair for long periods.
We are buying a car tomorrow. We hate the color but got such a great deal on it, we couldn't pass it up. once we move to Irvine and with how different Jason and my schedules are, we really needed one. I will feel so much safer in this car too and it has a/c which is a must if your going to be driving in a car with a baby in california. I will post pics, asap. Sorry I have posted any lately... I promise as soon as I start showing, I will start documenting with pictures.

Yes on prop 8!

Jason and I went to a meeting tonight and it really helped reassure both me and Jason that we both strongly support proposition 8 and we hope if you are in California and you can vote on this issue that you will do the same.

13 weeks today! I have to wake up like 5 times in the middle of the night now to go the bathroom. ugh! I'm still sick but hopefully (fingers crossed) I will be getting back to feeling normal in no time! Despite being sick, I made it out every night this weekend. You should be so proud! It's been around 8 weeks since we last got out. Friday we went to an 80's prom party, thanks for inviting us Meagan, it was a lot of fun! Jason was so so happy to finally get out of the house! Saturday we went to a Huntington beach carnival with a friend of mine from work and her fiance, luckily there was so yummy fair food I was able to hold down, but I had to pass when it came to those swirly rides.
We have had such a great conference weekend. I love conference and was so glad to be able to watch it via internet so we could stay at home. saturday morning Jason turned on conference before I was awake, so I woke up to the music of the tabernacle choir, singing the opening hymn. It was so beautiful and I was so happy and felt at home when I heard the music. My step-mother, Angie used to turn on all the tv's and radio's in the house on conference morning, so it reminded me of that, and I loved it! It's times like these when for a moment my life isn't too busy and I miss my family and wish I was in their company sharing conference with them. This is probally the first conference ever that I did not fall asleep at all! I was glued to what each speaker was saying and so thankful that we have a living day prophet to give us guidance in this world where at times you feel so lost and alone. It is such a reassurance to hear speakers of god and know that you are not alone.
