Christina's Thoughts

This makes me sad. :-( Reading Rainbow is going off the air.

Current Mood: sad

I'm buying a car!!!!!!!!

It's a 2003 Ford Focus with 73,000 miles. I looked at it myself last Thursday, and then today I went with my uncle Wayne so he could give it a look, make sure everything was good with it. It's $4,600. I put down a $200 deposit today, and will pay the rest tomorrow when I pick up the car. :-) It's in great condition. Pictures will go up soon. ^_^

Yay! The governor of Maine just signed the same-sex marriage bill!

Five down, forty-five to go! Plus DC's decision to recognize SSM performed in other states.

EDIT: Oh, cool. The formal name of the same-sex marriage bill is An Act to End Discrimination in Civil Marriage and Affirm Religious Freedom I like that name. :-)

Also, this quote from the article

State Rep. Lawrence Sirois, D-Turner, said he was a deacon at a Baptist church. He doesn't agree with the "gay and lesbian lifestyle," he said, and neither does his church.

But, he said, he also believes in the Biblical mandate of "love your neighbor as yourself."

"That's everyone," he said. "This bill, the way I look at it, gives rights that have not been there for some people in this state."

Adam and Megan made an offer on a house in Merriam (the city right next to ours) and the offer was accepted. We'll be moving June 1! It's just a few miles away from where we currently live, so moving will be relatively easy (as easy as moving can be any ways ...)

It looks like a pretty nice house, too. ^_^

Current Mood: excited
