Free Sarah Palin...

She’s doing just fine being herself! That’s the head title of The Wall Street Journal-opinion this morning. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122300588457301501.html?mod=googlenews_wsj
Now those of you who know me should know that I am usually not into politics, I’m not an Economics major and I don’t claim to be all knowing on the subject. I am a republican and I have been all my life. Yes I am only 24 and have only been able to vote once but I am however EXTREMELY patriotic and my country means a lot to me. I was extremely impressed with Sarah Palin last night. She held her head high and spoke with much confidence. As I said before I'm no expert on the subject but I do know right from wrong. When she was talking about how bad our economy is there were two things that really stuck out to me. She said that (I am paraphrasing) we as the American people need to stop living outside our means and that the federal government need to take a step back and maybe live a little less luxurious. How many times in the church have we heard to live within our means? Budget budget budget! I found it very interesting that she would put it this way. She went on to have many other great points and it was as if she almost took the politics out it and got down to the nitty gritty. I do have to say that I don’t think McCain would be much without her. I know she has been getting a lot of hype about being a hunter and hardcore but my gracious who better to help get the job done that a BA woman with fabulous morals? I’m not sure how many of you watched it last night but you see a huge difference between Governor Palin and butt face Biden. When he would answer/comment it was if he had this sign that flashed across his forehead “Liberal cocky politician”! When the Governor would speak you could feel the spirit, she looked right into the camera to talk to the American people not to Gwen. There are a reason people like her so much. She has that light about her. You know throughout life you meet people, get to know them and you just know they would be a fabulous Mormon? I think she is one of those people. I am very happy to have Mrs. Palin on board with McCain; she will keep him in line, and make a fabulous VP.

Life lately...

A peek into the dance world...

I’m in the mood to be domestic today but as it would be I am stuck at work. So I am trying to put my creative mind to use and get stuff done, that lasted about an hour and my mind has been wandering all day. I think it has a lot to do with this time of year, it’s my ABSOLUTE favorite! I want to cook and be crafty with decorating something. Carving pumpkins, party planning, trying new recipes, exploring outside, and most of all FOOTBALL but I won’t go on my football tangent again. Josh and I have started to eat MUCH better but holy cow is it expensive but I have already started to see a change. Dance is back in for me and eating better has definitely helped. For those of you who don’t know I dance at an academy here in town NCADA and LOVE it. I take everything right now, Ballet, Pointe, jazz, modern & hip hop. It is such a great stress reliever as well as very therapeutic, nothing better then leaping and dancing out after a long day. My plan is to keep it up as long as I possibly can. I know I will have to cut back quite a bit when we get married and have kids I would like to think I could do it all! Tomorrow will be exactly 3 months before Josh and I get married and I can’t WAIT! This has felt like the longest engagement ever. But things are fabulous and planning is going along great. The final round of picking out invitations and getting those sent out by the end of this month is the current goal. My dress should be here by the end of this week! That I am most excited about, and then I can get all of the accessories to go along with. I’m not much of the saying “less is more” especially when it comes to accessories. We have already decorated Josh’s apartment which will be ours soon enough. We are registering for the essentials and josh is having a blast with that scan gun and we are getting some good use out of that “oops” button at Bed Bath & Beyond. Bless his heart. I have to say that I am one lucky girl to have found such a fabulous, puts up with all my Maghen-isms, amazing guy. I am truly blessed. Enough with my ramblings, nothing monumental going on at the moment just enjoying life and all the fun drama of day to day. Hope everyone is well. Love to you all.
