It's on my mind...so I must share.

We send this blog to our loved ones, who will hopefully fight for us at the polls in 5 days, but who is going to spread the word to those we don't know? Some say you shouldn't talk politics with family, but when it comes to my basic civil rights isn't it more than just politics? I must ask you to please advocate for us next Tuesday and every day until then.
If you are voting in Florida, Arizona, or California please visit the following website to learn about three propositions which, if passed, would strip us of basic rights and further spread homophobia and hate.

When I went with Corinne to the doctor a couple of weeks back I stayed in the waiting room until everything was done and ok. As I waited there I started to think about what would happen if everything wasn't ok? Would the doctor tell me anything? Would the doctor even let my back to see her? By law he/she didn't have to do either of these things and it was then that I realized just how much is at stake in my personal life on November 4th.

I know that some will choose to vote down party lines in this election...but I have to ask that as your sister, daughter, niece, granddaughter, sister-in-law, or friend please take a minute to re-consider.

There is a clear candidate who has promised to protect the civil rights of homosexuals and ensure that I will not be discriminated against because of who I am. Please help make our voice stronger.

Bringing us up to date...

I want to give Lisa a big round of applause for updating the blog through our vacation which took place in early Sept. We obviously have not had the time to devote to updating it completely...so, I'm going to attempt to bring us up to date...quickly:

- Lisa got a great job!! She's now an HIV Counselor with the Compass Organization. Things seem to be going well, it isn't going to be easy...but she says she likes it so far! It's a wonderful organization that services the GLBT Community, and she is proud to be a part of it.

- I got a job also!! (whew!) I'm the Recruitment Advertising Manager for Clear Channel Radio. I've been at it about a month now, and things are slowly falling into place. It's definitely a fun place to work, the people are cool, so hopefully...it's the beginning of an exciting journey!

- We are excited to be heading up to Orlando for UCF (my alma mater's) Homecoming in early Nov. It's going to be a fun time, as we'll be joined by my dad & step mom, and our friends Jaime & Rob. GO KNIGHTS!!!

- Lisa's best friend Melissa is coming down for a visit, which will be awesome! We can celebrate Lisa's birthday with her best buddy, and a good time will be had by all!

- ALSO....We are sooooooooo excited because we booked our tickets for a Jan. visit to Jackson Hole to visit with Lisa's family. If the rumors are true, we might have the entire Luksich clan there (ok, not all Luksich's...MacDowells & Sauciers). We are looking forward to having a white Christmas.

This is just a quick update, we'll be sure to post more detailed info. later.

Love to all!!

A Cayman crab builds a home...

We had about an hour to hang out on the beach before our shore excursion in Grand Cayman and found ourselves mezmorized by this crab who was expanding his home. The part that always got us laughing was when he tosses the extra sand away at the end!
