I thought I would take some time to document what we have been working on so long and so hard the past few months. I have so many emotions when it comes to this prop 8 issue. It was only in the last month of the struggle that I came to be grateful for the battle we were in. Grateful for the spirit that was with me everytime I opened my mouth to tell someone why I was standing up for the family. Grateful for the many chances I had to share what I believe with so many people. Grateful for the love of God that was poured out upon me while I was engadged in his work. Grateful for the youth and Young Adults who always came to help in the fight at a moments notice. Grateful for the bond that I felt with family and friends as we slaved for the cause. I am especially grateful for the way that most of the Yes on 8 voters conducted themselves when they found themselved face to face with the opposition. I will forever be grateful for the lessons learned and the spirit of love that I felt.

Tyson sent this picture of the plains that were writing "vote Yes on 8" the sfternoon before the electing. I have to tell you that my boys were so excited to see the plains. When I was talking with out Bishop's wife about it she jokingly told her kids it was a sign from HEAVEN to vote yes. I thought it was funny.
We are so proud of Dallin and all the other youth who stood up to the pressure of their peers and stood tall for what they believe in. I don't have the utube clips of the OC sign waving nor can I find the picture of Tressa's ward's sign waving party. Maybe I'll get them up on another post.
Thank you all for your hard work and for the support of those who did not live in California.
