a getaway...

Going to the lake tomorrow to visit my grandparents.

CONGRATS!

I'm going to be an aunt again (okay, really a cousin, but being 21 years older, I'm pretty sure that I will be more of an aunt.)!

My cousin Crystal goes in to the hospital around two am, and Little Miss Lilyan Marie will be here! I'm so excited for the family and I can't wait to have another little girl to spoil!

Equality?

I've been questioning this a lot today. Weddingbee, a web site I visit every day was recently sold to eHarmony. Having dated the same fella since my junior year of high school I've never been intrigued by dating websites. Today, however, I have learned a lot about one. And they aren't things that a company should be proud of.

Balancing my beliefs in my Creator and also my instilled belief in equality is something I have struggled with, even more recently as I have began to evaluate most of my beliefs which I see so preached but not practiced in the "Christian" community. I have family members in same-sex relationships that I love, and what to support, but find a small part of me holding back.

This is something I have thought about for a while, and an awful lot today, and it's something I will be thinking about for days to come.
