The day of days...

Well..... today is that magical day when America heads to the polls and votes! When Dee and I started thinking about all of the things we were going to participate in while we would be in the states - the election was one of the first things we thought of! Living abroad has given me a greater sense of my Americaness and I am very excited to join in this process! While we were in Washington DC I could not help but think of all the changes about to occur and I was filled with a sense of pride that my vote was going to be counted (and not simply mailed in absently). Seeing the White House and Capital building really brought out all of this sense of patriotism and duty.

Having said this - I am so SO excited to have the election over. I ask - who out there is NOT sick and tired of all the election commercials and coverage? I feel as if this day has taken years to actually get here, and there will be a sense of relief when it is all over with tonight (I hope that it is over tonight!). Well... I am headed to cast my vote!
