I had an interesting thought about Obama today. His original campaign motto, or at least what he kept repeating, was "hope and change." And the change that he was referring to was "cleaning out WA, getting rid of corruption, because HE is a DIFFERENT politician. He's above the dirty games, the divisiveness, the lies and distortions..." Okay. Forget ( Read more... )

My opinion on Barrack Obama being the "same ol'" thing, just in a subtle and "untouchable" way has only been reinforced ( Read more... )

I found out that much of what I said yesterday was very incorrect and I am sorry. I don't want to delete it because I want to preserve the integrity of my journal and show my mistakes and family mistakes as well as positive things. Aunt Debbie was not at all to blame for either what happened, what she allegedly said - which she didn't etc. Aunt ( Read more... )

We went to Golden and Jesse's reception tonight. I don't know either of them super well but it was still nice. The hills around that portion of Salt Lake City were SOOOO steep. Scary steep.

One of the MANY chickens we saw though is that my dad was talking about the blessings of tithing and he said something about peace of mind and then my mom ( Read more... )

I was just reading Shannon's LJ and first, I realized something. Out of me and my two life long friends from AZ - her and Joe - I am the only one seeming to cling to who I was then. I mean, I'm not the SAME person, but...Okay. It's like this. Joe, in AZ, and how I knew him was a hopeless romantic, very sugary sweet, a bit immature at times, but had ( Read more... )

Okay so let me give some background info first. I haven't been keeping up with LJ very well because a couple of months ago or so my dad gave a Family Home Evening lesson on journals. Ever since then I had been feeling prompted to go get a real, paper journal. I didn't know why exactly, but I did. So I got a journal. But then not too long after I ( Read more... )
