August 21, 2000

Well, I just spent a week in CA with DH. It was wonderful. We went to Universal Studios, Magic Mountain, the beach, and all over. We had to deal with the DNC folks, but I'll forgive them. I am terribly pro-life, but I am so upset with the pro-life protesters out there this past week. Like I said I am 110% without a doubt completely pro-life. We were leaving Universal City Walk about 9:30 Tuesday night. On the way out we were met by pro-life protesters. They were holding HUGE signs with full color photos of aborted babies. I get the point they were trying to make, but I was there with my children. MY CHILDREN!! They were at the only exit from an amusement park. There have to be kids there. That was completely irresponsible. My Kirk could have seen that. We covered his eyes as we drove down the road, but what if it were he to have discovered the signs and not me? Does my son deserve to be forced to see that? I think not.

The other thing that happened was that while at the beach, minding my own business, nursing Anne, a lady walked up and "informed" me that if I want to continue doing that I need to vote democrat. I am soooo sorry lady but I cannot be scared into voting. I just don't see myself voting for a man who was involved in supporting abortion. My God! Let us see if we can't kill all the babies in the world! Don't get me wrong, I am probably on the liberal side of the conservatives, but I cannot slide when it comes to the rights of children --born or unborn. This is my opinion. I know many people disagree with me, but after seeing my own baby delivered dead at 5 months of age and seeing his perfect little body-his fingers, toes, his beautiful little face, and I even saw enough to know that he was a "he." After seeing all that I cannot be convinced that a baby at any age at any gestation isn't alive-doesn't have the right to be born. I couldn't stomach having a D & C and having that happen to my dead baby how can someone allow that to happen to their perfectly healthy living baby. Okay, enough of that, back to telling about CA.

Wes has a great little apartment out there. I did all I could to make it more homey for him. I am so sure I drove him crazy. The weather out there was amazing. I missed all the green from GA, though. Here wherever you go out your window you can see tons of trees, grass, greenery of all sorts. In LA we saw some palm trees (very cool), but there was a lot of brown and yuck. It made me miss home. There were lots of hills, though. GA is basically flat, but wow, there were hills and mountains everywhere. After spending a few days out in LA I am pretty sure I can live there and be happy. I got to where I didn't want to leave. Kirk enjoyed himself. He saw the beach for practically the first time. He had a blast at Universal. He got a great tan. And had a blast on the plane trip. Anne had a hard time adjusting to the time change. She was basically grumpy the entire time and when she finally got adjusted, we came home. Now she is in GA on CA time. Aaron stayed home with his grandma & pa. He was spoiled rotten. He was thrilled to see everyone when we got home. He loved on Kirk, ran to me, and laid on Anne and hugged and kissed her.

DH got a job working at ADI Amalgamated Dynamics Inc. He will be working on the upcoming Spider Man movie. He is all pumped up. I am sooooo proud of him.
