Naive??

I'm beginning to think that perhaps I am the most naive person in the world. Here I am a 28 year old woman, married, mother of 2. Live in suburban America and last night the W. Virginia primaries shocked me. How is it in 2008 that people are still so racist?? I grew up thinking that racial discrimination in most of the country was gone but now I'm beginning to wonder. Watching the exit polls from last night, 75% of the people asked why they voted for Clinton said because they didn't want a black president. How is that possible in this day and age?? I'm honestly not sure what I'm more mad about. That he lost by a huge margin, that he hardly campaigned there or that I'm beginning to realize that this country hasn't lost it's Black/White hatred much at all. Now some of you may not like what Obama stands for or whatever but can any of you say that you wouldn't vote for him because of his color?? I hope not. But for people to openly say that's why they didn't vote they should be ashamed of themselves!! I guess I was raised in a good family who taught me to love people no matter what race they are and I can only hope that I raise my kids the same way. Hopefully when they grow up or when they have kids the world will be a much kinder place. Thanks for reading my rant.

My first blog

I’m 26 years old and this is my first blog. My husband, who knows more about the internet and computers than anyone I know, has set this up for me. I’m honestly not sure what these things are for but what the heck…I’ll give it a shot. He tells me it’s for me to post my thoughts about my life and other subjects. I’m not too sure what I would have to say that other people would find interesting but you never know I guess. To give you a brief insight into my life my name is Michelle. I’ve been married going on 6 years and have two absolutely beautiful girls. Kaylie is now a very grown up 4 year old and Reese is already 1. It’s crazy how fast they grow up. I’m a stay at home mom which I love and I can’t imagine doing anything else. In the very little free time that I have, I enjoy photography. Recently it has become an amateur career of sorts. I’m hoping that in the years to come it becomes a full grown career. I love taking pictures especially of children and families. Over the holidays I had several photo shoots and many of them said they will come back. So that’s really how these things get started I hear. People keep coming back to you and then they tell their friends and so on and so on. I truly hope this turns into an amazing future for me but if not…I will always enjoy taking photos. That’s about it for me. Thanks for reading :)
