For some extra credit in my sociology class, we were invited to view the Clothesline Project that was on display this week at school. I knew I would get emotional. But as I walked in, I told myself "I'll just go in for fifteen minutes. In and out. Easy." And of course I was completely wrong.
What an awakening experience. I tried to read as many shirts as possible. My heart broke as I read each one. I had heard domestic violence statistics before, but this experience really helped me to realize just how much abuse happens. Even here, in the "Mormon bubble." My heart goes out to all those who's lives have been impacted by these horrible acts.

PS- you all guessed wrong. The pumpkin is supposed to be the Browning deer symbol.
Ok. I totally knew what the pumpkin was. I guess I spent too many years in Alleghany County. I love reading your updates.
