Where have you been? Oh wait, it was me that was gone.

I am so sorry I have been gone, it has been a hectic couple of weeks, there was a last minute move, some other craziness and a lack of internet because AT&T took forever to get their stuff toghether to figure out what the problem was (starting with them trying to service our new house from over a mile away on an island instead of from 3 blocks away.) The new house is still a disaster with half of our stuff not being here, and no electric outlets in half of the house, but we have our kitchen supplies, our beds, the water no longer smells like sulfur and now our internet so what else do we need? Some of the terrible things that have happened in the last few weeks include the illness of my husbands grandfather.

He has cancer, and it is getting worse, we were able to go and visit him, and we got this lovely picture of him my husband and our son. I wish my Father-in-Law had been there too, it would have been great to have all four generations in a picture. 

Our family is going through a lot right now, and if I could be so bold, I would appreciate your prayers, positive thoughts, or whatever else you can spare. :) 

Red and Pink?

The red and pink is flooding FaceBook. Wondering what it is?

It's the “Red Equals Sign” which is a symbol for marriage equality. Today is the first day of Supreme Court oral arguments over the constitutionality of California ballot initiative Proposition 8. Passed during the 2008 elections, Prop 8 defines recognized marriage in California as only valid between a man and a woman.

The Red Equals Sign has been championed by the Human Rights Campaign, a group that works for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender equal rights. This campaign urges people to wear red today and has organized for people to stand outside of the U.S. Supreme Court while the ballot initiative is being debated inside.  If you want to show your support for marriage equality — make your profile image red and go to www.hrc.org/StandForMarriage for more ways to get involved!

Listening to the radio yesterday there have been people standing in line to hear these arguments for over a week. So many people could not be there and for those that wish to show their suport this is one way. 

No matter if you are for or oppose equality know that I respect your decision, and please keep it civil. 

Happy Saint Patricks Day!
