So Friday night I was just getting home with Maelen when it was getting dark. We were in the garage and a truck pulled up right in front of our Prop 8 sign. Someone was about to get out, but when they saw us, jumped back in the truck and took off. They turned around and waited on the other side of the street. Our whole family waited outside to see what they would do next. They evenutally left. Their little illegal operation had been thwarted for one night. Jared waited for quite a while on the balcony hoping to catch them in the act. Apparently they came back Saturday night because Sunday morning, our sign was gone. It's very sad they feel they have to resort to vandalism and crime to win. We have even heard of a church who is paying kids per sign they bring back.
Saturday afternoon we spent an hour and a half out on PCH with Yes on 8 signs. It was very interesting. What's most interesting is to hear the way people talk to us when they are calling us hateful. I guess they don't hear it in their own voices and foul language. There were Stakes from Long Beach down to San Clemente lined up at every intersection down PCH to do the same thing. We had some guys in our ward with motorcycles make flags out of Prop 8 signs and drive up and down PCH. It was a real bonding experience for our ward. Our Bishop's wife decided that instead of being offended by their hand signals she would take pride in that they think we are #1!!

Woo Hoo! You go, girl! We try to remember to bring our lawn signs in for the night. The only signs stolen in our neighborhood are the ones on public propery, but many have been stolen from homes in the neighborhood across the road from us. We just put up a humungo banner in our back yard that overlooks the highway. W and I said we should keep our ears open for positive honks and our eyes open for poisoned meat for our dogs. :( We did the intersection sign holding yesterday and I was worried at what the kids might hear. The kids were so proud to be there though. Keep the faith!
You guys are awesome!! Keep up the good work. That is a great picture! My dear hubby is in our local paper today commenting about the sign stealing. He has been spending his free time on newspaper sites and blogs and even changed the mind of a gay man in San Francisco. It can be done if we do it with love. Keep up the great work. Love you!!
You rock! I was sign waving on Monday night. It was great! A little scary at first, but so much positive response. More thumbs up than any other finger! ;)
way to go. We hope all goes well with the voting. We are praying for you.
