2010 year of the Baby!

2010 was the year of new babies….. I believe there have been the following born in the past year that I can name, please feel free to add to the list if I have forgotten anyone! Beginning October 2009 to the present day (November 4, 2010): Amelia Bonthuis, Miles Stephins, Gavin Seidel, Ulla Maley, Lila Vitasovic, Grayson Roberts, Brody Shaw, Stella, James Duke, Emma Burks, Cormick Donnelly, Jolie Santini. Many of these babies I have yet to meet, some I have been blessed to meet.   I feel blessed to share new memories with my friends through Facebook as I see my friends families grow. And more babies are to be born in the near future. Blessings to new mom’s and your newest additions!

Election Revelation

As we were watching the election results come in last night I discovered Wade and I have totally different perceptions on the various issues on the ballot. It was so very interesting as up until this election we usually both sat down with the ballot pamphlet and reviewed each measure and candidate together. This year, time was a major element and we had to vote each on our own and read the pamphlet without the other person’s opinion.


The outcome was interesting. I see myself as a much more conservative voter compared to him now. I have seen this in our personalities, but I didn’t really consider my self that conservative until last night! It was a revelation to me last night as we had kept our votes secret until the results came out! It made for a very interesting discussion. Now I will honestly say I felt I was an independent, but now I see that my view are more to the right than I had thought…
