I live in Grand ...Indianapolis is an awesome city!! I live in Grand Rapids, Mi and am only a few hours away! We have driven through it a few times and the food and shopping is AWESOME!! PS I am a member of the church, but I think everyone needs to do what is best for them... the lord knows what is in your heart anyways (Just what I think) so why pressure yourself one way or the other.... If I want to wear skinny jeans I will do it!! hehe ( A little BYU jab)... My main problem with any oraganization is the "people" life isn't one size fits all... My husband is training to be a lawyer.... I am a hairstylist there is a reason we are all different.. I do think it is funny how people pick and choose things... like 25 cans of diet coke a day, but noooooo coffee... he he maybe I should just stop there for now!!Lacy in the Sky with Diapershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07590346623877300928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8066454962341009559.post-68218153365425681482011-12-12T09:10:47.915-08:002011-12-12T09:10:47.915-08:00Lacy, I was in Indiana, mainly Indianapolis.

I would never encourage or persuade people to leave their faith, but everyone should at least look at it deeper. Whether you leave or stay, you need to know if you really believe what you're espousing. I love you both. <br /><br />Ann, I took the long road - I'm still on it, point of fact. :)Der Schöpferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18113271603359177328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8066454962341009559.post-10262609161459654302011-12-12T04:44:17.967-08:002011-12-12T04:44:17.967-08:00Bitty, this was an excellent read, and very insigh...Bitty, this was an excellent read, and very insightful! I remember talking to you about your decision of whether to go to Utah State or go on a mission. It sounds like you made the right choice! And I agree about agnosticism. I feel pretty much exactly the same way...Ann Crowtherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05421299536120352568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8066454962341009559.post-10129545728195608532011-12-12T00:21:48.048-08:002011-12-12T00:21:48.048-08:00She is right.

Growing up in a Mormon family and taking that step away is not easy. I'm really glad you have Ammon to help you through that as I couldn't have done it without Amber.<br /><br />Love the blog btw. You are making me want to start my own.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11505112256653738515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8066454962341009559.post-70265852051477531572011-12-11T22:55:38.310-08:002011-12-11T22:55:38.310-08:00It's funny to read this because although we (R...It's funny to read this because although we (Ryan you and me) haven't directly talked about it, you had a big influence on us finally getting the balls to leave the church too. I think we saw how much more shit you had to go through by not only comming out as ex-Mormon but as gay as well. Thanks for setting a great example for us. Ryan and I have never been happier. Besides marring that dork leaving the church is the best thing I ever did!Amber Jacobsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04191002420732915345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8066454962341009559.post-69957313071531924132011-12-11T19:05:05.075-08:002011-12-11T19:05:05.075-08:00Ah this was a good one my friend!! ps I swear I re...Ah this was a good one my friend!! ps I swear I read this and I still don't know where you went!Lacy in the Sky with Diapershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07590346623877300928noreply@blogger.com
