A few weeks ago Michael and I made our escape. We sent the girls to Grandma Wendy and headed to SLC for a little R&R. (My brother wonders why Idahoans head for Utah, that is another post altogether ~ however, better malls have a lot to do with it!) Anyway, we met up with Michael's best friend since childhood for some Sushi. We would've loved to have seen his beautiful wife as well, but she was hard at work ~ so we settled for a solo Bo.
As we sat and ate our delicious variety of sushi rolls, the conversation turned to my blog. (I warned Bo that his comment would warrant a post of its own.) He said it "reads a little too Mormon" for his taste. I laughed and told him that I'd try to remember that my audience may include a few that don't happen to agree with my beliefs. I know that he didn't mean anything mean by his comment, nor do I by this post. But, I am who I am. What can I say? Being Mormon is just me. I believe and it influences all of my thoughts, and most of my actions:). However, I also firmly believe that everyone is entitled to a happy life. So, many of my friends, neighbors, associates, co-workers, family members, etc. may not believe in or hold the same opinions that I do; and that is okay with me. I like variety, individualism, and I value independence and free choice.
Bo, we are proud our girls are allowed to call you Uncle. I am glad that you accept me for the prude I am. And, you better call us next time you are in town...it's our turn to buy dinner.
