MY View Point

2008-10-29T18:13:00.000-07:00

I am going to take a one-time break from my usual posts about my amazing son and write about what's on my mind!

The right to vote and choose our nations leader is one of America's greatest freedoms. Although I love having the right to vote - I HATE elections. People go crazy over their canidates, and you can't even watch the news without wanting to scratch your eyesballs out. I have come to realize that I am a minority in my group of friends, who are all extremely liberal. I don't fault them for their beliefs because they are different than mine and I am lucky enough to have one friend who can laugh with me about the errors of both canidates. However today's lesson learned is not to post your political views on Facebook. OH MY GOD. I have every right to post how I feel of MY page. I could care less about what people I barely know have to say on my page. These people are more than capable of writing their views on their page!

I am more than willing to discuss my views and why I feel the way I do about many issues. I do not support Barack Obama for the following reasons:
1. No matter what he is saying now to get votes, he will raise taxes.
2. I do not believe in government healthcare
3. I am pro-life except for in extreme cases
4. Obama's unflattering associations keep rearing their ugly heads and how many of those can you have before it's no longer a coincidence?
5. Obama is extremely unexperienced to become our nation's top leader
6. He is a good speaker, but when he is upscripted, that is when he begins to speak of things like spreading the wealth (socialism). He can't have a speech in hand to refer to at all times, he needs to be able to think indepedent of a teleprompter.
7. He wants to decrease national defense funds. Really? How vunerable does that make our country look in a time or war and what message does that send to our troops?

There are many more reasons but all I'm doing is winding myself up before I need to go to bed. How you vote is your choice. My choice is McCain/Palin.

Say that ten times fast. In search of things to do in my new state - I heard about the Syrup Sopping Festival in Lockapocha, AL and so Luke and I packed up the kid and headed to Lockapocha (I love saying that!) Here are the things this festival entailed:
1: Fried Food - even fried pies
2: Donkey's
3. Sugar
4: Syrup
5: Trinkets
6: Again....sugar...everywhere
7: A BBQ joint with a very large chair

It was very wierd but I did get some cute pics of C-Man.

My life - in blog form

2008-10-25T19:32:00.000-07:00

I'm going to try this "blog" thing. I've been inspired by my bff Megan who has been blogging for years (www.crazybananas.com). It has been an amazing release for her to escape from her hectic life and have her own space where she can write her thoughts on life, love, work, family, politics, etc. We'll see if I can actually keep up with this thing.

Most of you who will read this know my husband, Luke, and my son, Carson. They are my life and will probably be what I write about the most as I now live in a state where I know nobody. I have a good life - my husband's new job allows me to be a stay-at-home mom - something most moms my age do not have the chance to do.

That's a brief intro to my new project. Plus - I will post pics of Carson which is why most people will read this anyways!
