I believe that everyone, even if you can’t afford it, should have access to quality healthcare. Is the new healthcare mandate the way to do this? I don’t know. But no one should ever be denied coverage because they have diabetes or cancer or are pregnant or can’t afford it. I am fortunate to be offerred healthcare through my job and be able to pay for it. I am also willing to pay a little more so that others may have insurance as well. Maybe the first step is to start with coverage for children.

Loss
I was going to do a post about J and I adjusting back to the real world from after the wedding and honeymoon. A post about how we both have been feeling a little down now that the excitement over the wedding is over. I was going to post this until I got on Facebook and learned that a lady in our church who I had grown up with and whose kids I hung out with passed away this morning in a car accident. Our post wedding blues don’t seem like such a big deal after all. This women was an amazing mother and grandma. 12 hours ago she was posting…

We’re Back and We’re Married!
J and I got back late Monday night and although we had an amazing time, we were more than excited to be back home and reunited with the little man. I may have shed several a few tears. Updates on all the wedding festivities and the honeymoon coming soon!
