politics (just a bit).

i don't get it. not one bit. i see the commericals (like they even offer the WHOLE story), i watch (kinda) the debates, i watch the news, i engage in conversation etc. yet at the end of the day, i couldn't really tell you where each guy stands on EVERY issue. to be honest, i hear more backlashing at each other, than facts about where they stand. then don't get me started on local politics... how are we supposed to keep them all straight. you drive around town and see the billboards and signs on every corner and in most yards so i can tell you all the names... but i don't have a clue what they're running for, or better yet, where they stand on the issues at hand.

i fear i'm not the only one with this issue. talking with people about the issues seems to only complicate things. most of the time, they've gotten their info from a not so reliable source, or they know where they stand, so they only tell you half the story. which leaves me, yet again, confused. i've found myself reading up on things more and more to attempt to formulate my own opinions on things, but at the end of the day i'm conserned that not enough people do that very thing, and they vote based on only half the story.
all that being said, i encourage us all to study hard and get our facts straight and don't forget to vote. oh yeah and starbucks red holiday cups come out the same day... so after you vote, go get a warm drink in a festive red cup and begin the holiday season!

being new home owners there are always "projects" to be done. the past few weekends as the weather has been getting nicer those projects have been outdoors. ryan usually digging, planting, pulling, weeding, mowing or sweeping and me... well, i photograph it all. it's the part i enjoy. and this last weekend as i felt i should get dirty and dig a little he consistently asked me " you want me to do that?" so i'm guessing i either looked way out of my element or i wasn't doing it "right". i'll stick to the photographs or maybe i'll sleep in next time. :) i enjoy my role. our herbs are begining to sprout this week. we're still debating on the garden. we were all go this weekend and then stopped to figure out how to get rid of the grass that is where we want the garden. when we couldn't come up with a "simple solution" we opted out of the garden and bought flowers for the front yard. now i think we have a solution so we migh...

My Love

Image
My poor husband has had a rough few weeks so I thought I'd send him a bit of encouragement via our blog. What makes me ♥ love ♥ MY Love: His willingness to help an old lady load her car in the grocery store parking lot His humor The animal lover in him The way still sticks out his lower lip when he's bummed about something That he can BBQ a tri tip steak like it's nobody's business. That he notices when I clean house He's HOT! How he calls his family often just because That he does all the vacuuming at our house That he reads the blogs I write and will compliment me on them That he rolls his eyes when I turn on HGTV, but when I'm not in the room he'll turn to it That he'll walk up to a service man or woman in uniform in public & shake their hand & thank them for their service. That he'll sacrifice a Saturday to plant flowers for my 78 yr old aunt just so she won't do it herself. That after a knock down drag out argument he will apologize ...

New Blog Design

Do you like it? Mariah had a giveaway on her blog awhile back awarding someone a new blog design and button and I actually won! At the time I had no clue what I actually wanted and was in the midst of a photography class and didn't really have the time to spend figuring it out. Well, she was patient with me and even let me take the photos for my header and she put them all together to make them look GREAT! Thanks again Mariah , I love it. Feel free to grab my button over on the left... I have one now!
