Quote of the Week
"We never know we go-
when we are going
We jest and shut the door;
Fate following behind us bolts it,
And we accost no more."
-Emily Dickens

Planned Parenthood's Lies Are Exposed
I originally saw this video on The Rebelution. Take a few minutes to watch it and inform yourself...you will be grateful you did.

Campaigning Adventure
At the beginning of November Spencer and I were able to do some campaigning for Greg Evers who is running for our district's State Senate. We went with a small group of teens and during the morning walked around a neighborhood to collect signatures on a petition.
We all went door to door as individuals. At first I was nervous having never done anything like that before...but neither had anyone else (except Aaron) so that made the experience so much fun. At the end of the street we would all gather together and share our stories and how many petitions we got signed. :)
I had wanted to be involved in something like that for the last two and a half years and especially when we joined Generation Joshua. Spencer and I really like politics! Doing this with people we knew made the experience even better. Hopefully we'll be able to do something like this again soon!
One of my friends was asked this question while campaigning, "If this guy is running for State Senate why does he need a bunch of kids campaigning for him?"
But reading about our Founding Fathers it is very easy to see that they did not become the great men we remember them as when they were older. They lived great lives and didn't waste their younger years. Most of them dedicated themselves to their different interests at young ages and graduated from college in their teens. It is only during recent times that people have started to believe the lie that younger people can't understand politics.

New Orleans: Part 4
World War II Museum
Before we left New Orleans everybody went to the World War II Museum, which Spencer had been wanting to go to for a long while.

I caught this picture at the perfect time. They didn't even know I was taking it! :)
The trip to the Museum ended our New Orleans adventure, all except the ride home. I hope you've enjoyed looking at all the pictures!

New Orleans: Part 3
Tour of New Orleans At Night
On the last night we were in New Orleans we walked down to theFrench Quarter and walked around. The City was as active during
the night as it is during the day.
Every sign for a restaurant seemed to have an alligator on it. :)
Every time we walked down the street or drove around it seemed we passed this store. Every time it caught my eye and I would remark, "There's the denim den." It served as a landmark and I couldn't help but get my picture in front of it. :)

Eating In New Orleans
Mommy and Daddy packed food for us to take with us.We cooked and ate in the hotel room...which took quite
a lot of inventiveness, especially since there wasn't a
microwave or fridge.
Spencer still enjoyed his meal! :)
A lack of counter space in the small room causedthe mac and cheese to find a home in the sink.
We did go out to eat one night at Cafe Du Monde,which was very yummy.
Outside on the pavilion where we ate.
Inside the cafe
Our treat: Beignets and hot chocolate (perfect for a chilly night!)

Pictures From Around New Orleans
Last November we went to New Orleans for several days. Daddy was attending a conference and everyone went a long to see the city.
This was the hotel we stayed at while in New Orleans.

Trolleys were very prevalent Downtown

The Mississippi River
There were so many old fashioned buildings.I loved all the jazz music along the streets!
An old church in the French Quarter
The details on the inside of the church were so intrigued.
