Life isn't made up of the number of breaths we take, but the moments that take our breath away.

Live life so that at the end of it, you have no regrets. Instead, you have stories full of love and laughter so you can hold your head up high, no matter what.

I just want to know

Whatever happened to IMPARTIAL reporting? They only interview the people who HAVE said NO on 8, and never ask anyone about what it means to US whom voted YES on 8!! Everything that is being reported is false, or just stupid. They are attacking the Church, saying that until the election was passed the meetinghouses became headquarters for us to figure out how to support Prop 8 and to get people to vote. I am just outraged, to the point that I can't watch the news or read a paper because all you read is how "so and so is Mormon, and was forced to give money to prop 8" or "So and so is Mormon, and they know that we used our meetinghouses to strong arm people into helping with the campaign" which is BULL!!

If they TRULY want to know what we believe, they should stop attacking us and start asking us. They are continually lumping us with the FLDS church, and I had skimmed an article that said that the Raid in Texas was a Mormon compound. This world is so messed up, it's not right. I am so fed up with hearing this persons furious over prop 8, and this person is livid with the Mormons. I am so fed up with people being ignorant. We shouldn't have to pay for it. We shouldn't have to worry about if we can get into the temple, or if the protesters are going to stop us. We just need to keep being strong. This storm HAS to pass eventually, I just hope that the wake isn't so terrible when it's done.

It's been a while

I have been trying to process everything that has been happening to me lately, and all that has happened with the world. History is being made with Proposition 8, and that makes me sad. We have a black president of our country. We have a LOT of things that are going to shape our future, as well as the future of our economy.

I personally have decided for a change of my own. My hair was down to the middle of my back, and I just cut it to my shoulders. I also allowed my hairdresser free reign with the color of my hair, and walked away with a golden blond color. It's weird for me to have it so short, compared to how long it is but I love it!

I don't know what the future has in store for us. I know that I have had a wonderful experience where the Lord helped me to share my love of the Gospel with one of his children. That isn't something I expected, but I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity.

I don't really have much to report outside of that. I am just sitting here, watching history in the making and wondering how much more history is yet to be written. It's fascinating.
