About Me

My photo
As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let us down, probably will. You'll have your heart broken and you'll break others' hearts. You'll fight with your best friend or maybe even fall in love with them, and you'll cry because time is flying by. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, forgive freely, and love like you've never been hurt. Life comes with no guarantees, no time outs, no second chances. you just have to live life to the fullest, tell someone what they mean to you and tell someone off, speak out, dance in the pouring rain, hold someone's hand, comfort a friend, fall asleep watching the sun come up, stay up late, be a flirt, and smile until your face hurts. Don't be afraid to take chances or fall in love and most of all, live in the moment because every second you spend angry or upset is a second of happiness you can never get back. - Unknown

Pink Dot Utah

Support. Love. Courage.
I was very proud to be a part of this celebration.
October 11 is National Coming Out Day.
The boys and I went with our very good friends Sam and Casey
to show that we support and accept our gay and lesbian friends and family.
And every gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender person struggling just to be who they are.
I could go on and on ranting and raving about my opinions of all the people too afraid to try and understand the fact that gay doesn't mean bad!
But I wont.
I will however say that
People are people and who they love is their business, no one elses.
LOVE IS LOVE
 Casey and Sam
I love these boys!

 Most adorable cheerleaders!

 Oh this man!
He made me a little teary eyed talking about how hard he, and many other tried to repeal the "don't ask, don't tell" bill. He is a marine, who not only fought for our country but lost his right leg doing so, and the fact that hes gay shouldn't matter. Why anyone would think differently baffles me!
I am very proud of this man and what he has accomplished!
 GO PINK!
 This was the first Pink Dot gathering in Utah and almost 3000 people showed up for it!
Impressive!
 The Anser
A boy Band straight out of Salt Lake City
They auditioned on the X Factor and not only made it to the next round, they were given 4 yes's!!
Even Simon Cowell smiled :)
They performed for us FOR FREE!
They're pretty great!
 At the end, after a satellite photo of the  big pink dot (all of us gathered in a circle to form a giant pink dot) was taken, all the pink balloons were released.
It was beautiful!

These are some photos taken by one of the
professional photographers at the event
