Thanks for comments

Hey all! I so appreciate your comments. I hope I didn't offend anyone with my last post! I just feel that we all need to know exactly what we are voting on. It's not merely a making it ok to have homosexual relations issue. It is an issue that will then effect adoption agencies, churches, schools, any company that doesn't recognize homosexual partners will lose everything. That is why I would encourage you to vote yes on proposition 8. I understand that there are many great people who would disagree with me, and that's fine. But please make sure you've all looked into every implication before you decide, and before you start telling others how to vote.

Love you all!

I see absolutely no reason to apologize for offending anyone. :) Your intent was *not* to offend, so anyone who was, that is their issue.

In my mind there is ONE issue here and only ONE issue: what is God asking us to do? If we truly believe that President Monson is a prophet of God, then GOD is asking the people to vote YES on Proposition 8.

It is simple as that.

I believe Thomas S. Monson *is* God's living prophet on the earth today. I know it. I will do, to the best of my ability, whatever he asks beacuse it is God asking.

Nicole: I sure do LOVE YOU!

Hi Nicole! I'm glad you found my blog! I'll add you to my list so I can stay updated on what you're up to! Your hubby is cute and it seems like you're doing well! I loved your posts on this issue. I don't think you need to worry about offending people. People read this blog because they're your friends and family and it's totally fine to express your opinions.

You were fine to express your opinion, Nicole. I hope you took my disagreement only as a difference in opinion--I was certainly not offended. It's important to realize that for many faithful LDS members, voting against Prop 8 isn't disobeying the prophet. Your opinion will always be incredibly valuable to me.

She's here!

Hello Family and Friends! If you haven't heard yet, our little baby girl Adalyn was born Tuesday, March 15th at about 2pm. She was born by emergency C-section (they knocked Nicole all the way out because there wasn't time for anything else) and was under a lot of distress. After a wonderful blessing from her Grandpa Hicken and Daddy she was life flighted to McKay-Dee Hospital in Ogden. She is still in the NICU there but is making great strides each and every day.  Her mommy and daddy named her Adalyn Julene Anderson-- after her great grandma Anderson (Julene). She has already blessed their lives immensely and she has benefited so much from prayers and fasts of family and friends. She has a long road ahead of her, but she is a fighter! Her grandpa Hicken calls her his little Millie- because she is a miracle baby and in Spanish, miracle is Milagro. She is a miracle and we are so happy to have her.  Love you all!

Delivery Day

Well folks- it's D-Day! After talking some more and discussing with us- our doctors (a team of OBs and Perinatologists) have decided that it is best for baby boy not to have any risks with the placenta and come today. So- He's going to be very early- they will have completed the steroids though, so that is helpful. But we all feel that this is the very best thing for HIM. I'll have a c-section- hopefully regular this time- this afternoon and we will have a baby boy by this evening. He will go straight to the NICU and we'll just see how he does to know more about how long he will be there. Again, thank you all for your comments, prayers, texts, phone calls. We appreciate all of you and your love and support for us! Love you all- remember we are in His hands. And who's better to be in.
