For everyone who said that I wasn't truly a Christian for wanting to vote no on Prop 8, let this be a lesson to you.....

This is a video of something that happened in San Francisco when a group of well-meaning believers gathered to pray. They were accidentally associated as Prop 8 supporters, and chaos ensued.

Today I am ridiculously hopeful. Two of my biggest wish list items for the dance ministry may come true very soon. I've been praying like mad, and have asked the dancers to pray too for

1) A solution to our horrid space issue. There are so many dancers in the studio at one time, that we are constantly smacking into walls - and each other!

I am so glad this election is almost over. I'm sick of seeing the graphic Prop 2 ads that make me cry. I'm tired of hearing about how Palin genuinely believes we are at war with IRAN, or how Obama is a MUSLIM. I'm tired of the cut downs, sick of the slandering, be it fact or fiction, and really I picked my side on all of the issues long ago.

I wish I had a way to get the photos off of my ghetto camera phone and post them on here, so you can all see evidence of the crime-filled adventure I had last week.

I killed myself tonight with a four hour dance rehearsal - getting ready for Sunday, plus the regular gang that practices from 7-8:30. Tuesdays always exercise my emotions as well as my body.....what do they think of me? Do they think I am a good leader? Do they think I am a total idiot? Does what they think really matter?......sometimes I do a ( Read more... )

One lesson I've learned this week about being a mom, is that sometimes parents just have to deal with feeling hurt and helpless in regards to their kids. I guess I just didn't expect to feel that way when Sam was only two months old.

This is a photo of me and my baby boy on Sunday.

My little Samuel is 2 months old today!

See how much he has grown!

I love you, baby. Keep up the good work!

So these photos didn't make it onto Sam's website, though I firmly believe in my heart they should have.  :)

They also probably won't work well as a promotion photo for Kaiser's new NICU that is opening out here in a few months.

I title it Paranoia at 8 Weeks.

This morning as I was going through the motions of my new life as Sam's personal dairy farm, I was watching the Today show. New Kids on the Block were performing, and you can imagine how freak out happy I was, since Elisa and I have halted our "real" lives in order to go to their concert in October and re-live our elementary school glory days ( Read more... )
