Good evening Sunday!

Thank you for an awesome weekend...

Justin and I were quite busy with some really

fun things this weekend...

Today, I attended Minneapolis/St. Paul's HUGE

Pride Festival down in and around Loring Park.

This past week was dedicated to celebrating the

Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transvestite (GLBT) population.

Today was the last day of the week long festivities. I attended

the Ashley Rukes GLBT Pride Parade and helped celebrate

people from all walks of life.

I am positive that it was the BIGGEST parade that I've

ever been to! It was incredibly awesome to see how many

large companies, radio stations, restaurants, organizations,

and much more came to help celebrate.

In addition, I was pleasantly surprised by the large amounts

of families, children and individuals who showed their support!

Some of my favorites

were 3M's car which was covered completely in post-it's.

I also enjoyed Ikea, because they did a

funny little Scandinavian jig.

I'm a supporter of gay rights.

And not a closet supporter either.

I have never been able to understand attacks

upon the gay community. Who am I to tell another

human being whom they can or cannot love?

On Saturday Justin and I joined a few other couples

for a wine tasting tour in Minnesota. We've never

been on one before and we sure had a great time.

I must say that I learned a lot about wines in one afternoon.

You could probably refer to me as a "wine connoisseur."
