+ something happy

I feel like this has been the longest week of my life (so far)! If I hear one more thing about how it's the 'Mormons' fault Prop 8 passed I might just scream. Fact is, over 5 million (yup, that's right) people voted for Prop 8. And to all those haters out there not all 5 million were Mormon. I am saddened by all the hatred that is going on.

Just yesterday some sweet little Jehovah's Witness gals knocked on my door. We had a very friendly conversation. They shared their beliefs and I shared mine. Neither of us changed our minds about which church we will attend on Sunday but we each learned something from each other without hatred. They were kind and loving and we each expressed our hopes for the future. I wonder why this can't be the case within the gay community at this time.

So today and probably a few times next week I'll need a pick-me-up. Something to make me smile and to remind me that I did what I believe is right. So go and stand and scream and protest at my temple. It won't change the peoples vote. I know that I. Did. What. Was. Right. And no one can tell me to change my opinion. It's my own to have.

So what made me happy today? My sweet baby girl (15 months tmrw) playing on the porch with the hose.
