Anniversary

I just want to take this quick blog minute to gloat a little bit…

Today happens to mark my three year anniversary to the best man in the world. Without getting too mushy on the public internet, I’ll just say that for all you women out there looking for the perfect man, stop wasting your time, he’s already taken.

Our Celebration of Earth Day

Good day family and friends! As you know, we work in the oil and gas industry. Because of that, some of you may think Brian and I have a vested interest in arguing against man-made climate change and legislation such as Cap and Trade proposed to decrease greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. You would be wrong in making this assumption. Brian and I are also scientists who feel that before anyone can form an intelligent conclusion of their own, they should hear all the facts, fair and unbiased, and entertain all the variables. I do not feel like Uncle Sam is listening to both sides of the debate about global warming. Following hearings before the House Energy and Commerce Committee on climate change legislation and Al Gore's demands for immediate action, I feel like my fellow Americans need to take a stand.
I urge you all to visit the website http://www.climatedepot.com/ if you wish to form educated opinions of your own instead of following in line behind Leo and Al.
I read a t-shirt one time that said, "Friends Don't Let Friends Idolize Celebrities".
Friends, educate yourselves!!

A Wonderful Easter Weekend

This past weekend Brian and I drove to northern Nebraska to visit our family. We got to see our new little niece, Willa. She is an absolute DOLL and such a joy to be around. She can melt you with her smile and I don't think she is really capable of crying. Our niece and nephew, Maia and Ben, were wonderful too, as always. They are such cute, smart, and caring kids. Ben is so sweet and sensitive and always loves to cuddle and Maia is so driven, smart, and beautiful.
As always, we love visiting the Sand Hills and this trip wasn't a disappointment. We can't wait till our next visit.
Happy Easter everyone!!

NO-Bama

I pride myself on staying up to date on my current events. Doing this allows me to be informed enough to carry on an intelligent conversation about politics. Although I have several friends who do not share my views, I have never and will never let politics come between any friendships. I consider myself a "liberal Republican" even if I am the only one. I believe gay marriage should be legalized and that, under certain circumstances, abortion should be a woman’s choice. However, I do not think Uncle Sam has any right to tell me how much of my hard-earned money I “need” and how much I “owe” to the government so they can distribute my tax money in ways I don’t see as fair or beneficial. Although I understand that the majority of Americans voted in our current President, I think we would be better off if we’d been able to go to our local zoo to pick out animals of our choice to serve as our country’s political reps. After all, real elephants and donkeys probably have a better sense of cause and effect than our current administration.
Even if you say you “don’t care about politics”, the paper above is a must read. We need to spread the message to our leaders and friends about the importance of our domestic oil and gas companies. If we don’t, we all may get pretty used to paying European prices of $8 or more for a gallon for gasoline once we become totally dependent on foreign oil.

Finally Bloggin'


Ok, so I am behind the curve a bit, I admit!

I can't seem to keep track of my MySpace page, so I will also try to post blogs to keep family and friends updated with the exciting happenings of Brian and Sarah Flynn as well as pictures too.

Hope you all enjoy!
