NKOTB FOREVER!!!!

Okay. I am serious when I say this. It is not a joke. I have the pictures to back it up!

I went to the New Kids on the Block Comeback tour concert on Saturday. It....was.....Awesome.
Eric loves the group, and anything from the 80's. I always tease him that he is an old man because he always sings 80's music like New Kids, or Millie Vanilli. He is so old school. But when we heard they were coming to town he nearly died of excitement. Then Jeff (Eric's little brother) bought us New Kids on the Block tickets for our birthday's, he was ecstatic. I was like, "Is this a joke? Where's my real present?" But I laughed and was excited to to go as a joke.
So we went thinking that it would be hysterical to see 5 fourty-year-old men trying to dance around like a bunch of teenagers. But oh no... It....was.....Radical. First of all the place was packed (not kiding) with tons of young girls, my age girls, and older women. They were all freaking out when they came on. Dying I tell you. When they started dancing they were so good! I was dying. And all their music was updated, leaving out the synthesizer effect on most of the songs which made the songs current and ..... tubular. I thought would just be laughing but I was truely impressed and I have to say I screamed like a little girl when they came down into the audience and were 7 feet away from me. Eric and Jeff were laughing at me now.

Donnie Wahlberg winked at me. Seriously.
This is a picture of all of them when they came up in the middle of the audience. We were so close. Someone threw a "I 'heart' Mormon girls" up to them. Donny is wearing it in this picture. No Joke.


Then to top it off. We sat right next to David Archuletta and his family. Not kidding!
Notice the 2 tiny little girls guarding the booth they are sitting in. Yeah That's going to help if he get's rushed. Anywyas. It was fun to see him too.



What a great night!

So Saturday night we got to go see a premiere of one of the movies Eric helped Produce. I love going to shows that Eric has worked on. I am always so proud of his shows even if they are not Oscar Winning. People always pull me aside and tell me how much they love Eric and how he pulled the show together with such ease. They couldn't do it without him. I am so proud of him!

It was a fabulous show and I cried like a little girl. The movie is called Gordon B. Hinkley, a Giant Among Men. It is a documentary but also with reenactments. The actors were well cast and you have a hard time not laughing at the boy Gordon and his brothers. They are darling! T.C.. the Director, always does a phenomenal job. He has done lots of other shows, including "Joseph, the Prophet of the Restoration." He is a talented Director of Photography and a good friend. This would be a great Christmas gift for hard to buy for people. It's at deseret book or at Living Scriptures Website.

I love Gordon B. Hinkley and I love to learn about him. It is nice to know of his mistakes so I see that I can be a better person even with all of my faults.

Anyways it was a blast!

Stop picking on the Mormons

Okay. So I have to say what so many are thinking. Okay maybe just me - but it really bugs me. Why do people always pick on the Mormons? Seriously. Wednesday after Proposition 8 passes, they single out the Mormons from the other millions of voters who voted for it that came from dozens of other religions.

"ProtectMarriage.com, is a broad-based coalition of California families, community leaders, religious leaders, pro-family organizations and individuals from all walks of life who have joined together to support Proposition 8.

Over 1.1 million Californians signed petitions to place Proposition 8 on the ballot, and over 4.3 million voters already passed the very same language included in Proposition 8 as Proposition 22 in 2000."

-from the ProtectMarriage.com website

http://mojoey.blogspot.com/2008/11/list-of-churches-supporting-prop-8.html is a blog that lists over 100 churches that supported it.

So seriously. Why all the hate towards Mormons? Mormons know enough about hate. It has nothing to do with us hating gay people. We all know and love one or two or many people who are gay. I have nothing against the person. But I don't support it. I know a lot of people who have been addicted to drugs as well. I don't hate them. It is just something I don't believe is right. And there is enough evidence in the Bible to show that God doesn't support it either. But he doesn't hate the people who are Gay.

And now all I see is how we are hateful. And then they proceed to list all of the reason why they hate Mormons. Come on! Does any one see the hypocrisy in that? Believe whatever you want but realize that I have the right to believe whatever I want too. And isn't the whole point of democracy that people can vote how they want, no matter what religion they are? Churches aren't in the voting booth with you while you are voting. The people spoke for themselves. Not the LDS church.

So why pick on just us. Are they out protesting all of the other represented religions that voted for it? No.

And we are the ones who discriminate. We are the ones who hate.

So my last point is two part. In the last five years or so there have been so many stories about Polygamists. And which church do they almost always credit the crazy to? LDS. Not FLDS. So first, get your facts straight people.

And second, why is polygamy so wrong if Gay marriage isn't? If everyone can marry any one, or anything they want, then why does the media freak out at polygamy. Cause it is a freaking double standard. I don't believe in Polygamy either but how is it so different?
This world is insane.

Stop picking on the Mormon's already.
