I looked for a new blog background today and I wanted something that I think Ryan and I would both like. Naturally I looked under masculine blogs backgrounds and found this one! I was so excited because I don't think I could have gotten anymore masculine than this background. (True Story)
Hope you love it Ryan! I did it for you :)

Best Baby Punch
Back at the beginning of October my Supervisor Vicki had a baby shower. I made a blue punch for the occasion and if I do say so myself it looked so so cute and it was delicious. I hope all my friends have boys because I will make you the best baby shower punch ever!
Umpaloompa
I got my new Driver's License today. I guess the the DMV thinks I am an Umpaloompa. Here is a picture of my new picture and another picture ( I choose it because I like Ryan's face) of my face with it's natural color.
Thank you Elton John
I have to say that Elton John has given more confidence in society. Read article.

California passed prop 8 not Utah
I have been thinking a lot with the Proposition 8. It saddens me to see so much hate and that people who don't agree with me think that I encourage hate. I don't.
I believe there should be gay rights. I am all for it. Please just let us keep the definition of marriage. This is all we are asking for. When the African Americans/Blacks were fighting for their rights they did not asked to be called white, they just asked for the same rights. When women were fighting for their rights, we did not ask to be called men, we just wanted the same rights. I am all for same sex unions to keep their rights (since they are the exact same as marriage please read: California Family Code – Section 297.5 Reads297.5 (a) Registered domestic partners shall have the same rights, protections, and benefits, and shall be subject to the same responsibilities, obligations, and duties under law, whether they derive from statutes, administrative regulations, court rules, government policies, common law, or any other provisions or sources of law, as are granted to and imposed upon spouses.)
I just don't want to call it marriage because I believe marriage is between and man and a women. This is what I believe. I have the right to believe this. I don't understand how this is hate.
That being said, the LDS church has come under a lot of persecution lately. It makes me sad but I guess that is what happens when you stand up for what you believe in and it is not the worldly or popular way to go about it. I think the people who are only going after Mormons are cowards. Why not go after the Jews or the Catholic Church too? They also gave money and helped to pass Prop 8. It is just easier to go after the Mormon church.
Oh and by the way...it was NOT Utah or the people in Utah who swept in and passed prop 8. It was the people ALREADY IN CALIFORNIA! We were the ones. It was other people besides Mormons. Mormons make a very small percentage of California. Not all Mormons even voted yes, some voted no. Guess what, they are still Mormon. Oh, and no one would even know how a Mormon voted unless they asked. The Church has not asked us to tell them how we voted. They encouraged us to Vote Yes, but they did not force us. Seriously people, use your brain to think and make your arguments. Yes, Mormons gave money from their own pocket and got our the word, but we did not force anyone to vote a certain way. People chose for themselves. Blame everyone who voted yes. I guess the lies will continue.
Now that I am off my soap box I have to state that I think the people who are blaming the church and spreading lies are a small population of the no side. I believe that the majority of people who voted no on Prop 8 are good people who don't agree with me and do not go around spreading lies and hate. If someone voted no, I am glad they used their rights to voice their opinion and I am okay that they disagree with me. It is sad the few are representing their side so poorly.
Here is a quote that helped me feel better.
A quote from Joseph Smith:
“The Standard of Truth has been erected; no unhallowed hand can stop the work from progressing; persecutions may rage, mobs may combine, armies may assemble, calumny may defame, but the truth of God will go forth boldly, nobly, and independent, till it has penetrated every continent, visited every clime, swept every country, and sounded in every ear, till the purposes of God shall be accomplished, and the Great Jehovah shall say the work is done” (History of the Church, 4:540).
