...with 95% of the votes counted PROP 8 IS WINNING!!!!! I can't tell you how relieved I am! Yesterday morning I put on my homemade "vote yes on prop 8" t-shirt and went down to the beach to excercise and advertise. It was raining...but we went anyway. When I got home and looked in the mirror..it was a sorry sight! My face and hair and clothing were drenched...and my prop 8 shirt was all smeared and running with black sharpie soaked all the way to my skin. Nice.
Rocky and I were feeling so unsettled last night with the elections and so much at stake for California with the prop 8 battle, we went to the temple to find some peace. It was so awsome to be there and feel like we had done all we could do and now, come what may, everything would be ok. When we got home and saw the results coming in, with Prop 8 winning, what a relief!
Carlsbad was carpeted with a bazillion yellow "Vote YES on 8" signs. I knew they had to be taken down so last night after we got home I went out and collected signs...like thousands of signs..and now my van is full of signs and my legs are KILLING me. It feels so good to know that I've done all that I can do, right up to the very end. And now, we need to be good citizens, love all people, and not gloat about our win...today I'm gonna colapse on my couch.

Thank you! You are so amazing! Thank you! I am so glad that YOU have made a difference.
I'm so proud of you for getting involved. We've been hearing about all of the protesting around the temple down there. It's kind of scary. I think that it's really a sign of the last days. It's becoming so accepted. I must say that I thought for sure it wouldn't pass. I'm very glad that it did!
