Presidential Election Day...A Historic Event...and Esther Marie's First (although not quite old enough to vote)

Happy Election Day! I hope you are planning to get out and vote. Although I say "happy," I guess for some it will be happy and for some, not so happy...depending on the outcome. I am just HAPPY that the political ads and the political phone calls will STOP!

This is one more historic event that has been going on during the year that Esther Marie was adopted and became a U.S. Citizen, so she will have a lot to look back on when she gets older and is interested....wacky ups and downs in the stock market, soaring gasoline prices, recession to borderline depresion in the economy, and this Presidential election.

The kids are off to school now and we have our coffee brewing and our voter guide out. Jasper got back late last night from a Florida day trip, so the 7:00 AM voting time was not so appealing. Hopefully after many people are at work, the lines they are anticipating will be shorter and we won't have that long to wait. I am thankful we are in the south and the weather will be warm today. My dad is working the polls in the state where he lives, so it will be interesting to get the scoop from him later about the crowds there.

Obama/Biden vs. McCain/Palin.......which one will be the new team? I guess by tomorrow morning, we will all know for sure....unless....there are more "hanging chads" this year! (haha)

Get out and vote....your vote does count! Have a blessed day!
