"Jesus loves you, I don't"

I am feeling MUCH better these days - (compared to my last post)
I have some in-laws (cousins) of Josh's to thank. It's one of those cases where I look at my life and then look at their low lives and immediately thank God for all that we has given us. Ok I'm not trying to be mean but these people (without going into the long story of it) basically came out, attacked me and calling me inappropriate names. Apparently they have had hard feelings against me from the day Josh and I came home to tell the family I was pregnant with Preston. Ok - I'll share the story.
So there we were.....
Josh's grandparents home (at the time we were stationed in Phoenix) to share our good news to Josh's family that we were expecting our first baby. During this time, Josh's younger cousin got pregnant out of wedlock. I was sitting there sharing our news and added that we conceived this baby a month AFTER our wedding and so it wasn't a bastard child. I had NO intention of insulting the cousin who was pregnant and not married...apparently she and her mother (and sisters) all took offense.
Over 3 1/2 years later......
I get this email from Josh's aunt blasting me from this one instance. I was like WHAT?!
During this time, the presidential elections were going on and a much heated debate was going between those cousins and aunt and us. They were for Obama and we were for McCain. Well we were mature enough to want to debate the issues at hand versus them - they flat out started attacking us. Thus the name calling from them had started and then the accusations continued.
Well the mentality of these people - well living in a small town, no higher education, never leaving this town - this is all they know and care to know. They don't have the best reputation in the area...
The only reason we have to see these people is for Josh's grandparents - who would be heartbroken if they knew we all despised each other.
I really didn't have much of a problem with them until the whole attacking me for no reason started - but looking at the whole situation makes me laugh. If this is the most power tripped they will ever have - well then that is sad.
Josh and I have accomplished so much and will not let these people bring us down.
