Yes for marriage!

On Novermber 4 we have an opportunity to amend the Arizona constitution to specifically define marriage as:

"Only a union of one man and one woman shall be valid or recognized as a marriage in this state."

For those of you who live in Arizona you can find out more about this proposition through the permanent link I hyper-linked to this graphic at the top right side of the page.


Please give careful consideration to this proposition, and register to vote. This is our chance to help institute a change for the better in our state. For those of you who live elsewhere there is a good chance that something similar is coming on a future ballot in your state! Now is the time to stand up for the value system we want to raise our kids with, and I am positive the result of this proposition, and others, will indicate where our country is headed in the future!

P.S. Everything went fine for my parents down in hurricane country, they didn't have power for about 48 hours, but things weren't too terrible.

Trouble brewing

Well we're home now! Have been for about a week. It's so nice to be back in our own house after living out of boxes and apartments all summer. The pups are happy to have their backyard back, and all their favorite hiking spot too.

In other news, I've been closely watching the weather the last few days. I'm from hurricane territory and as of today Ike is headed straight for Houston. My parents still live down there in a suburb south-east of town as well as friends scattered all over the place. Thankfully the people who needed to get out have and the rest of them are in for a killer storm. My parents are in an area that will be safe from any water walls or flooding so they just boarded up the windows and will weather the storm, but their not in any real danger. Here's a picture of what's brewing in the gulf.


Cool huh? Nature is amazing... but scary too. Hopefully Ike keeps sucking dry air and stays at a category 2.
