Seeing that I haven't posted in awhile, I thought I would take a second to update on the comings and goings of the last few weeks. Since my last post I have turned 30. Now that it has happened, I must say it wasn't tragic as I thought it would be. The security guards at the high school I work at still ask me for my hall pass every now again, and I must admit that although annoying in the beginning years, I quite enjoy it now :) Tomorrow night Jeff is taking me and my little brother Justin to see my all time most favorite group in the entire world, Cherish the Ladies. Too bad I am completely inept at figuring out how to post links because I would post the link to their website if I could. If you feel so inclined, you can google their name and you will find them pretty easily. Check back later for a lengthy post on the show ;)
It is almost time to vote, and I know all us Californians are anxiously awaiting to see what will happen. We too are yes on 8. If for no other reason then because our wise church leaders have asked us to support the values of traditional marriage, I would vote yes on 8 (there are other reasons of course, but I don't think I need to convince any of you of those reasons), no matter the cost. In these turbulent times, and the ones that will surely come, the Lord will ask us more and more frequently to take a stand and follow Him. At times, doing so will cause us heartache and be hard. But is it worth it? Absolutely. Does it make easier? Not really. One of my dearest and bestest friends for many years and I are at a crossroads. She is not happy with me because of my decision to support prop 8. Does it break my heart to think I might lose her friendship over this? Completely. But it does not sway my decision. I love my Savior and I have a testimony of the truthfulness of this gospel. I hope and pray everyday that we can all stand strong and have the conviction and strength to do what is right, what our Heavenly Father has asked of us no matter the cost at times.
Jumping to another completely different subject...It would seem that more and more frequently people are asking Jeff and I when we are having a baby, do we want kids, etc. Yes more than anything, we want a family, a huge family if possible. Do I desperately wish it happened already? YES! I am learning patience whether I like it or not. In the Lord's time, I know that blessing will be ours. Until then, thanks for keeping us in your prayers and we will let you know when it happens :)

It's hard hearing all those comments when they have no clue what is really happening, or how much it hurts you to be reminded. Hang in there!
ks for your thoughts. I do want to apologize if my questions have ever caused hurt. Hang in there. Being someone without kids after 7 years of marriage it is hard. We love and supprt you and always have you in our prayers.
Stephen and I had 2 miscarriages trying to have our first and it was devastating. People in C5 kept asking my mom when we were going to have a baby (they didn't know of our desires and failed efforts) her response to them was, "Well, I don't know, they're sex life isn't really any of my business." HA! I know people mean well, it's hard when they don't know and ask, it's personal for sure and just have faith, I know many who are in the same boat as you!
Hi Hily,
You stated all of this so well. Like you, I had a very old friend (20+years) pretty much call me a bigot and say I wanted others to sit on the back of the bus. I just remained calm and we found a point where we could agree to disagree. That is what true friends do...they realize that we are all not the same and the only way to stay friends is to love one another. I respect that you follow your heart and testimony and in time this friend will as well. And don't worry about the baby thing I know it will happen for you. Give me a call...I want to chat about the zoo. Much Love!!!
