Seriously, Pink

Trust me, I get it I understand people sporting pink, hell I walked in the 3 Day 60 mile breast cancer walk in 2007, I am all for a cure, but what about the PURPLE! Why are we not sporting the purple everywhere. Can't we share? I can't wait for the day where domestic violence is not behind closed doors anymore. We need the support, we need the funding to support these vital services. 25 beds for all of Dane County? Really, Dane County...are we saying that's good enough? Please talk to the 50 people on our wait list and tell them that it is good enough and we don't need shelters, they just need to get a job and find permanent housing, right? Go ahead...but wait, I understand this too...it's so much easier to go home at night and drink your latte next to the fire and forget there are any problems in your county. It sure is nice to live in a bubble, huh? So, my point...see I go off on tangents because my mind is going a million miles per hour with a thousand thoughts, is we have 6 days left this month and I challenge you all to wear purple at least once and tell someone it's domestic violence awareness month; Be the person getting your haircut and the stylist is using a pink comb and say "you know, it's also domestic violence awareness month". Spread the word. 

Okay, on a happier note because I don't want this to be so negative, yep there I go finding the positive in life (as we say at work "positive re-frame"), it's my 4 year wedding anniversary today! 4 years ago at this time I was dancing at my wedding and enjoying the moment with the love of my life, Ben. We have been so blessed. He has an amazing job, I have an amazing job, and we have the two most beautiful, precious little girls in the world. If my girls are as half as passionate about things that I am...then boy is Ben in for a long couple of years! Love you babe and can't wait to celebrate many more anniversaries. Thank you for always letting me feel safe with you. Take a look at this picture...boy have we changed! Cheers to us! 

Yours Truly,
