The Beginning

Well, here I am. I've been debating for a while now whether or not to get a blog. I think you know what I did! ;' )
It is exactly 12:00am as I'm writing this. It is now officially Election Day! Wow! Just think - supposedly in less than 48 hrs we will know who our next president will be. I'm not going to go off into who I voted for or who you should vote for - I'm sure we're all tired of that. I’m just going to say that this is my first time voting and I must say I am very excited about it. It's been a new experience and one that I found humorously enjoyable, humorous, mostly because I voted by absentee ballot. Having never done so before and not having any idea as to what I was supposed to do - I skimmed the ballot. There were so many names on it - I didn't even see the block for voting for president - just the local officials. This was about a week ago. When I realized Saturday night, that was the thing I needed to vote, I was slightly worried, wondering how I was going to get my ballot in on time. I filled it out on Sunday and mailed it Monday morning. It had to arrive by 7:30 Tuesday night so I mailed it “overnight”. Little did I know voting cost so much! I laughed when I saw that it was costing me $14.65 to overnight a manila envelope weighting 2 ounces over two states. Oh well - the price of beginner’s ignorance. All in all I enjoyed the experience.
Happy Election Day, you guys! God bless you!

In Him,
