Update Time

It's been a while since I last posted, not because there hasn't been anything going on, but because there has actually been so much going on and I haven't gotten around to it. October has been a busy month for us. It usually is with Halloween and holidays in general are usually always a pretty big deal in our family. We had our annual Halloween dinner this year with the usual crazy food and we had a lot of fun with some good friends. We had it a bit early this year because we took our big trip to Boston at the end of the month to spend time with Cassidy's sister Brittany and her family. It was my first time to Boston and it was amazing! We had a blast hanging out with Brittany and Jared and their family and they were so nice to play tour guide and take us around all over New England and show us the sites. I'll cover both the Halloween party and our Boston trip in my next few posts, but I just wanted to post an update as far as everything else that's been happening with us.

Following up on my last post, we were very excited to see that Proposition 8 passed in California. It sounds like it created quite a firestorm down in California which doesn't look like will die down anytime soon and it also made big news here in Utah because of the Church's and other members like Steve Young's involvement. We were watching and waiting for results in Boston trying to get an idea of what was going on through Cassidy's family and were so happy to see it pass. I don't know if any of you saw the commercial that was running in California on election day by the campaign opposing Proposition 8 that showed what were supposed to be two LDS Missionaries going into a Lesbian couples home and taking their wedding rings and tearing up their Marriage License with the punch line at the end; "What will the Mormon's steal next?" but it was completely rediculous.

We also had some very bad news when we heard that my very close friend Brian Fink passed away this month. We were shocked to hear it and it was such a surprise to everyone. His wife Caytlin and their two boys Mason and Kenny have been amazingly strong and our thoughts and prayers continue to be with them.
