Stand for Marriage

Marriage is AMAZING! Trent and I (but mainly I, because of Trent's busy rotation schedule) have been getting a little involved in the "Stand for Marriage." We believe marriage should be between a man and a women and that every child has the right to be raised by both of their biological parents, wherein it is possible. 

We have been hosting discussion/reading groups at our home through CanaVox (visit: canavox.com). It has been wonderful to discuss with friends in a safe atmosphere why man-women marriage is best for children and our society at large. 

Here are some pictures from the rally at the capital. I also attended the the conference the following day in Provo. This week we almost had a reporter from the Washington Post come to our home to sit in on one of our CanaVox meetings. I was a little hesitant to have her come. I was worried that she might paint our picture from the wrong angle. 

Our meetings are to help other people become educated about the topic of man-women marriage so they feel confident to discuss, in a kind way, from a research standpoint, how it benefits children and our society. After about two phone discussions and multiple emails with the reporter she didn't end up coming. I didn't want to disclose our personal information, and in the end she lost interest because I was being to picky about details she could or could not share. Haha....Thank goodness too, because I was potty training Tanner that week and on the day she would have come...like seriously 3 minutes before the meeting Tanner had a pooh pooh accident...lol.

I am so grateful that Trent and I have an awesome marriage! I love our rule to go on one date per week! We are still courting and it makes me happy :) This was a little picnic/hike we went on. Trent got a "spend $8 when you  $15 worth of food" deal from Dickey's. It was also their dollar Tuesday sandwich deal. We got a ton of food and only paid like $8. So great, and a fun night to enjoy the sunset.
