Wedding...


If any of you have talked to me in the last couple of months you know I have been total consumed with anything but planning a wedding. I wish I could get motivated and pick out a date and all the things that go with it but I just can't. I think the biggest reason is due to a missing family member. I have graduated with two post seondary degrees, got engaged, had birthdays, and many more things.. You name it and I have done it without my mother being there but for my wedding day I want here there. I know I can't bring her back but for this occassion I just wished I had her for one day. This being said I guess I just need to get on the ball and get motivated. So in the upcoming weeks I pray for strength and the ability to overcome one of my biggest fears, that eventually I will have to face!

Amendment 26

 Amendment 26.. I don't normal get into the political issues and to be honest my grandfather has a fit because I never quite have a stand on my option but I do have a special stand on the Amendment 26 in Mississippi. To me this goes further than abortion or no abortion... It is about the fine print writing and this is what I have to say.

Many of you know my family has undergone so extremely tough times when looking at female organs and the reproductive system. I am currently taking a hormone that helps stop the progression of a gynecological medical condition that seems to be developed from generation to generation. This hormone has stopped me from having to have surgery and even the risk of having to have my ovaries removed. If this Amendment 26 passes in Mississippi then I will have to have surgery and even risk losing my ovaries due to the amount of severity of the condition. Now this being said, no I do not know how bad the condition is however; the hormone I am taking is working just fine and I do not have to undergo a surgery.

This is a small detail of this Amendment 26 so all I am asking weather you vote Yes or No please do you background research on this law and make sure you know what you are voting for.  

I have provided a couple of links concerning Amendment 26...
