Tolerance and Standing For Something

If you know me you would know that I am very open minded and the last to judge anyone for anything. I do not care what you did in you past. I do not care what you are doing right now. I do not care what you are planning on doing in the future. I will live my life and you can live yours. I have no place to judge. I have friends of all different backgrounds, and lifestyle choices. I love each and every one of them.
It does make me extremely mad however when people use the word tolerance as a word to describe how you do not believe what I believe. Tolerance to me is being excepting of someones choices and ideas but not necessarily making the same ones. For example I have several homosexual friends. I love them. I hang out with them. As much as I love them and respect them and am here whenever they need me I do not applaud all of their lifestyle choices. I have my own believes as well. I stand true to my believes. Just because I may be voting yes on prop 8 does not make me any less tolerant. If any thing it means I stand for something I believe in. My friends know me well enough to know that I hold true to what I believe instead of swaying with the easiest breeze.
So in simple terms I am tolerant but I stand for something. Do you stand for something? or Do you sway with the easiest breeze?

Yes on 8!!

Vote Yes on 8!

If you are still questioning think about families and children!

If you are still wondering think about separation of Church and State! Marriage is something ordained of God. Prop 8 would change this God given ordinances!

Homesick!

Twilight Series!

Like many other girls I have become obsessed with the Twilight Series! Over a two week period this summer I read all four books! I cannot wait for the movie to come out! I love and can relate to the main female character Bella.

I am a little upset that somebody leaked Midnight Sun (Edward's perspective of Twilight) on the Internet. Stephanie Meyer is now not completing the novel.I read the transcript that Stephanie Meyer put on her website. It is actually really interesting. You now can see both sides of the forbidden love story. However, I was sad to see that the book cut off before the meadow scene, and before the fight. There are so many unanswered questions. I guess my imagination will have to make up my own answers.

Crazy Past Couple of Months!

Crazy does not even begin to describe the past couple of months that I have had. After an awesome spring semester (seriously no sarcasm), I made a last minute decision to come home and work at the YMCA. I quickly fell in love with my job and working with kids. I loved being home but missed Provo and my social life. My life became crazy fast when my sister got into an accident at work and broke her neck. I would go to the hospital in the morning and work during the day and then go back to the hospital. She healed quickly. (There are so many amazing miracles that happen everyday and I was blessed to see so many of them). Just when life seemed like it was calming down life threw yet another curve ball. The day before I left for school I was running a last minute errand when I got into a car accident. I got rear ended and realized right away that my back was killing me. I went to the doctor and found out that I tore major muscles in my back. I drove up to school the next day with my mom and was very drugged up. My family was awesome and helped court and I set up our apartments. My parents left me to fend for myself and they went back to California. During the first day of school I got really sick and went to the doctor. I found out that I had a respiratory infection. Another great miracle happened in my life and I healed very fast. I cant believe how crazy the last few months were. I am so blessed.
