The Best of times is Family Time

Father Son
I love time spent together. Even when we've really done nothing at all, when we are all home and spending time together it's the best. This week I came down with a pretty bad cold, during the week I was down and out. I taught my church fitness group Thursday even though I wasn't feeling so hot. It went ok just not as well as it does when I am feeling 100%. Our ward planned a volunteer group for getting the word out about Prop 8. Kurt & I signed up to walk the neighborhood. Saturday we met with the rest of the committee at the local park and got all the info and lists. They were incredibly organized! We got a list of specific streets and the registered voters that lived on those streets. We grabbed what we needed and were on our way.
I got my first "tracting" experience...lol. They suggested we split up and work opposite ends of the street to save time, but we decided we just felt more comfortable sticking together. We ran to Walgreens real quick to get clipboards for all our info. The lady at the register saw our stickers on our tops and asked what's Prop 8? (yes, our first big encounter...lol) Kurt wittingly replied,"oh it's a law that would protect marriage between a man and a woman." She looked confused then said, "huh?" Again my "intelligent" husband replies..."it's against gays" "Oh" And....then Amy prayed for a big hole to swallow her up. ☺ Oh my goodness! As we walked out to our truck Kurt says, "Where was my script when I needed it?" LOL! We both burst out laughing. First encounter: failed miserably! (this story isn't meant to be offensive and I'm sorry if it comes out like that. I just think it's funny when we have those moments where we stick our foot in our mouth. Sometimes there's no thought process before we speak...lol)
We headed over to King Street which was our appointed route. The first home we went to the person named on our list didn't live there anymore. We tried talking to the lady there but she was not so receptive. We handed her the literature and were on our way. The day went pretty smooth. The majority of people that did answer the door were all for the proposition. Kurt spoke to everyone on the first block, and I recorded the info. Our q & a went like this:
-If the election were today would you vote definitely yes, probably yes, definitely no, or undecided?
-does your spouse agree?
-would you be willing to post a yard sign or help with the campaign?
At one of the homes I kind of started laughing at Kurt because he was so focused on the script. He challenged me and told me to step up to the plate and show him what to do. Thankfully the man I spoke to was all for the proposition and he was very easy to talk to. HA... take that! LOL!! We had fun joking around all day and spending time together. Kurt would do his NY accent a couple of times while walking up to a door rather loud just to embarrass me. It was nice to get back to us, felt like we were dating again. ♥ I would also like to say that I am not trying to discriminate against any group of people. I believe they should have rights too just not to the extent they are pushing for. I don't want it taught in schools to my children, and I don't believe that marriage should be ok for them. That also does not mean that I think these people are horrible people though.Old pic of Kurt & I but I just thought it was cute
Sunday we spent the day relaxing at home. Kurt made us breakfast, and we just played with the kids all day. We got to take a nice nap, and play games together. Weekends like these make the hard times that much easier. Mother Daughter
