8 means Hate?

That is what most of the "No on Prop 8" signs read. I have a problem with this claim. They say that people for 8 are the ones that "HATE" others and are taking away their rights, and yet the only thing that I have seen from them is destruction, vandalism, theft, and violence.
During the entire election period I never once saw a No on 8 sign that was taken or destroyed. The most that I saw it move was from one street corner to the next. Yes on 8 signs, however, we spray painted with No across it, stolen, or in my sister in laws case kicked so it was ripped in two (while on her personal property).
As for peaceful protesting and expressing your first amendment rights, it's all fine and dandy when they do it. Nobody complains, the most that happens from the Yes on 8 side is protesting on opposite corners of the street. They don't think we should have the right to go out and support 8 without repercussion.
As my sister in law was out with a whole bunch of Yes on 8 supporters she was approached by a 19 or 20 year old girl who asked if she was voting for Obama. When she said she wasn't there to talk about that the girl became irate asking everyone in her group the same question. Eventually Jeanette again in a stronger tone said nobody was going to talk about that. They were here to talk about 8, so the chick decided to take a swing at her. When she missed, she kicked her in the upper front thigh.
Of course everyone stepped in and made it impossible for her to get to Jeanette so she ran to the middle of the median, spoke with a car that had been trying to hit Yes on 8 supporters all day, then seeing Jeanette wide open ran at her and kicked her again in the other upper front thigh! They finally called the cops and it took them 40 minutes to drag her out of her hotel room kicking and screaming, spitting on the cops! What happened to our freedom of speech without being assaulted for it?
They have a problem against the church because we are willing to donate time and money to help support the family, but it's not just the LDS church that donated. Every Christian based religion in California did the same thing, including the Catholics! Yet we are the ones who are ostracized because of it. They vandalize our bishops home with spray paint. They make commercials directly against the church.
8 means hate? Yes, it does! It means all of those that do not support 8 HATE people that support 8, while those that support 8 still love and respect them for their decisions. It means supporters are now hated and will feel the wrath of those that don't agree and their first amendment rights will be taken away by force. Now please, tell me what is ok with this???

6 Quirks...

1. I hate doing the dishes! I don't mind doing any other chores but I HATE dishes with a passion. It doesn't matter if I have a dishwasher or not.

2. I can't stand to eat breakfast. I know it's the most important meal out of the day but I just can't seem to eat when I wake up in the morning.

3. I actually like my husband to play video games. LOL! Most women hate that, but I really don't mind at all.

4. I am obsessed with text messaging. I love it.

5. I always order Chicken enchiladas when I go to a Mexican restaurant. It doesn't matter where I go that is what I order if it's Mexican.

6. I would rather sleep anywhere then in my own bed. It doesn't matter what bed is mine, since I was 17 I started sleeping on couches and anywhere that wasn't my actual bed. I am doing better since I have been married but I have required a lot of traveling because of this little quirk.

Most of my friends have already done this so those who haven't and have some extra time. I would love to read about you!

Complete Nerds...

So, Andy and I now play the Yugioh card game and as dorky as it sounds it is so much fun! There are endless possibilities to what you can do. You can have a million decks and none of them are the same. To top it off the cards are CHEAP! We got about 300 cards for $17 and that was because I bought two of the brand new decks! In the beginning it is a little complicated but the more you learn the more fun it is. You get to blow stuff up, steal peoples cards, block them from hitting you and make them hit yourself, build your decks around cute cards, if there is something you are interested in I'm sure they have a card that is based around it. My friend built an entire deck around cards that look just like the cars from the Chevron with Techron commercials. They are so cute!!!
Anyway, I just figured I hadn't posted in a while and that is really the only new thing that has gone on with us. Sorry we are so boring! :) LOL! We love you guys!

Snorkeling...

Andy and I finally had a day where we both got off early and decided to go to La Jolla Cove and try snorkeling. We bought the stuff to do it a while ago and I have been slowly getting used the the water and the goggles in the pool (water at the ocean). We walked up to the shore about 4:45 last night looking down and I did not want to get in. The waves looked like they were hitting harder because we were in the cove. The seaweed was all over the place and disgusting. After a while of debating whether or not to get in I decided I would have to face my fear eventually, why not right now?

As I step into the ocean it is freezing!!! (It's always freezing...lol) I had to coax myself into getting in. Andy was so great. He just stood there, holding my hand waiting until I was ready to get in. Slowly but surely I made it in. Now for the googles. Creepy. It just doesn't feel right to have my eyes open under water, not being able to breathe. I decided that I did need the snorkel so we added that to the mixture. At least now I could breathe...not well, but I could breathe. We slowly headed out a little further....then the fish started to appear....

It was INCREDIBLE!!! It was just like in the movies. Watching the seaweed move with the ocean, the fish are just right there. Even though you are just floating on top of the water you feel like you are in the middle of all of it. I had no depth perception at all! I couldn't tell how far away anything was so I just kept reaching for things. Silly me... Then we hit the rocks and there was a huge drop off...It scared the crap out of me so I decided it was time to come back in. It was probably one of the most incredible experiences in my life.

No matter what your fear, if you have a desire to over come it you will do it. :) Of course it will still be just as scary the next time, but I can't wait!!! We are going to take frozen peas and apparently the fish just swarm around you. YAY!!!

Skip over the weekend....

So, we are just going to skip this weekend and pretend nothing ever happened. As for today, Andy and I went to Disneyland to see the Pirates Lair on Tom Sawyer Island. It was awesome! They have a whole bunch of little caves to go in and out of, treasures everywhere, just fun random things. It was great spending a day with my wonderful husband. Oh, and he bought me a lucky Bamboo :) They say you can't over water them, hopefully I won't be able to kill this one. Sorry so scatterbrained. Love you guys!

Labor Day Weekend...a little late

The weekend started off with me working until 8 Saturday night. When I got off Andy and I headed down to La Mesa (like we always do to see Andy's dad). This time we decided to go out with Matt, Andy's best friend. They hadn't been to Norma Jeans (a karoke bar) in a long time so that is where we went. All of the sudden Matt comes and tells me that he signed the two of us (Matt and I) up for singing Love Shack! I guess there is no backing out once you are already signed up. So, Matt and I went up and Sang Love Shack. I never knew I had it in me. Andy says I did a pretty good job (although all he had to compare me to were drunk people...besides he has to tell me that, right?). I didn't know some of the words in the song, even though they were on the screen I didn't know the tune in that part so Matt had to sing it to me while I had to sing in the Mic. LOL! That was an experiance :) We made it home around 2 am.

Sunday I decided I wanted to go to the Mexican border. Since everybody out here (including my mexican friends) tells me that going to TJ is too dangerous and don't do it, Andy, Jeanette and I went out to the desert where Andy used to cross the border all the time growing up. He said there was a big post that showed where the border was so of course I wanted to take a SAW us on the other side of the fence but if you admit guilt do they have to do something? We just sat there and let him lecture us for a few minutes. Telling us it's a BIG NO NO! And it's illegal and all that fun stuff. So then Andy says "well, in that case we didn't go over there, thanks for letting us know" and we drove off. We had to go through two border patrol checks and let me tell you....it was a little nerve racking knowing that they knew we had gone over there. It was exciting at the same time...But I got my pictures and that is all that matters :) Jeanette has them right now but I will post them as soon as I get them!

Monday wasn't quite as exciting. Andy and I were going to go to the Zoo but when we got there of course it was really busy. It is right next to Balboa Park so we walked around the park instead. We went to the San Diego Natural History Museum and learned about water and erosion, dinasours and other exciting things :) Walked around a little more and then headed home. It was a wonderful weekend! Here are some pictures from the park.
