Stay off the roads
This is it Sandi finally got his driver's permit. So I have been taking him to the roads to learn how to drive. He's actually very good, but it is hard to trust what you have taught.

One year older
So...today is my birthday. I am 28 years old now. My mom made me a beautiful homemade cake but forgot the candles. When she went to the store to buy some, the check out lady said, "oh..you must be celebrating the birthday of some one older." My mom replied that it was actually for her daughter, to which the lady said, "Because you've got two packages of candles here..." So yes, I have passed my young youthful days and am now in the "older" category. 2 packages of candles! It is strange but that comment did make me feel old. For the rest of my birthday party my mom made homemade chicken cordon bleu, real mash potatoes, and I made ice cream. What a fabulous day!

California's Proposition 8
California's proposition 8 is a very important issue to me. It will define how we see marriage, whether it should be between man and woman, or if it can be between a man and man or a woman and a woman. I think the rest of the country will follow suit to how California votes.
I have a traditional marriage to a wonderful man and I believe marriage should be kept that way. My visiting teacher visited last Sunday and told me about what happened in Massachusetts when gay marriage became legal there. First of all, her children came home from school with a book to read called "The King and the King" about gays. They taught gay relationships in second grade. Schools already teach sexual education if California fails to pass proposition 8 they will add gay relationships to the sexual education. Also in Mass. (according to my visiting teacher) they told the Catholic adoption agency they had to give so many children to homosexual parents and when the agency refused the government shut it down saying it was "unconstitutional." I realized the affects of not voting for proposition 8 affects alot more then just if some people can get married or not. I do not look down on gays or think poorly of them, but I would not want my son learning about it in second grade at school either. Some things should be left to parents to teach. Marriage is important and sacred, children deserve to be born into families where parents have made a true commitment. That's how marriage is soppose to be a commitment. Children also learn best if they have a mother and father to teach them, that is why it takes a man and woman to have children.
In conclusion, vote yes to proposition 8.
