This Makes me Really Sad

My husband and I are both very set when it comes to our political views. He tends to be more outspoken about it than I do, but both of us are pretty willing to share our opinion. That being said. For some reason my mother's boss decided to befriend my husband on FB. I have no idea why. She may have met him at our wedding, but other than that she does not know him at all. As it turns out she is very into politics and posts a lot on her page about it. One can only imagine how fired up she has been the last few days due to recent election results. My husband commented on one of her posts, and another person asked him to explain himself further. Husband took the time and did explain himself in a very educated way. He did not put anybody down nor did he use any profanity. He simply laid out the facts. I then commented that I agreed with him and it was well written. At that point my mom's boss deleted myself, my husband, and my mom from her account. Now this does not hurt my feelings at all because I had no feelings for the woman and had infact hidden her months ago, but this will cause problems for my mother. For that I am deeply sorry that my husband and I became involved. My mom's boss thinks that her opinion is the only one and she will possibly make my mom's life at work very bad. This is so sad to me. I would never have intentionally done anything to hurt my mother. I can only hope that her boss will forget it by Monday and not treat her badly.

All of this has really got me thinking. I wanted to make this blog a lot about my views and stuff like that, but now I think I am going to take it in a different direction. It will be a bit more journal like. Just random things I'm doing such as my photography. I will also share stories that I think are funny. I may even post more of my fashion as I really really love fashion. I hope that I will not seem shallow for not posting on other deeper things, but I really do hate to hurt people. Also it seems that so many of us can not agree to disagree, so I resolve now to keep this blog light and funny.

But I will make one last political statement: VOTE!!! no matter the party. That is the important part is that we exercise our right to vote.
