Yes on 8 Sign Event!

Today we were apart of the 'Yes on 8' sign event! It was so much fun! Brody's good friend Brad flew in from UT to be apart of all the action. There were about 250 that lined the area of Jamboree and Barranca. In the 3 hours we were all there, the majority of cars that passed us were waving, giving us the thumbs up and cheering us on, honking---and of course we had the occasional drive by that was a big 'No on 8'---but it was really encouraging to be out in the community with everyone (not just people from our church) and feel the support. It was consent horn honking! We met some great people too, and got to see some people from our old ward. One couple said that they didn't expect to have so much fun with (and like) "a bunch of Mormons". They were a really nice couple, and ended up only hanging out with us Mormons. =)  It is neat to think that whether or not this passes (hoping of course that it does pass) that our group might have made such a good impression on these people that it could lead them to find out more about our church. We had a blast, and it felt really good to get out there and do our part to support something we believe in! We are going to try to do another one before Brad goes back to UT. 

Just a small part of our crowd! 

It has been fun to have Brad in town! We are so glad he was able to come! But of course we miss Andrea! =) 

This guy is YES on 8! Two thumbs up!! 

This lady was on the 'No on 8' side (we had about 6 of them, among the 250 of us). She took one of our signs and defaced it, and used it in front of us...well our fine Police force took care of her!

Also Brody played in two soccer games today! One bright and early this morning with the guys from our ward. and then after the sign event with his league---which in both, he scored a goal! =) His league team won 15 to 2! It was a fun game, and the team is doing so great! Photos of the games can be seen at The Animal Albums
