Non-Anniversary Dinner
Dan and I went out on the town yesterday evening. Dan took me out to dinner because, eventhough we are now married, yesterday would have been five years since we began dating. I was, however, told that I could only have one official anniversary which would be for the date we were married. I took it upon myself to pronounce that March 15 would be our official “non-anniversary” day.
We had a lot of fun at dinner. Dan’s Aunt Betty and cousin Kimberly as well as her two awesome kids, Avoly and Leyton, popped up at Outback where Dan and I were as well. It was a lot of fun getting to visit and cut up with everyone.
* Just as a side note: Dan puts up with my nonsense all of the time and does it so well. He is truly wonderful to me.
America’s Voice
We have men over seas fighting and the thing that makes the papers? Marine General Peter Pace should apologize to the homosexual community at large for vocalizing his belief that homosexuality is immoral. This is the quote they are so fired up about:
“I believe homosexual acts between two individuals are immoral and that we should not condone immoral acts,” Pace was quoted as saying in the newspaper interview. “I do not believe the United States is well served by a policy that says it is OK to be immoral in any way.”
It absolutely amazes me that a lot of people in our country can accept and even sympathize others when they have an abortion, cheat on their spouse, are abusive to their own children, rob banks (i.e. the “Barbie Bandits” that are just “harmless girls that got mixed up with the wrong crowd”), and drive drunk. If, however, someone with morale convictions or even a (gasp) Christian stands up and says something isn’t moral, people are up in arms. It is truly very sad that there are so many that believe that you should do what suits you and accept what everyone else is doing.
The kicker out of all of this is that in the end, it may be that the General is made to apologize or called on to resign. I get so frustrated at those that do actually speak up either having to back off their convictions or disappear to make others happy.
