Ok so every presidential election I think I am going to early vote this time BUT I never do. Four years ago it took me 20-30 minutes at 5 on election day. Today Karl went to vote at like 8ish and called me to get dressed and come vote that no one was in our line. I got out of my truck at 8:40 and back in my truck at 8:52, 12 minutes and that included talking to Karl as I was walking in and then telling him goodbye as I was leaving. (YES there was kissing involved haha).
It was great. I wanted to take Bel our exchange student with me to see the process but needed her to stay home with the girls. She thinks this whole process is so interested. She is so shocked by the commercials that are so nasty. She doesn't understand why it matters who you know, where you were born, your morals, why it matters if you have cheated on your wife.... "She said why does that mean you won't make a good president?".
Karly's teacher gave her several worksheets on the election process. It was very interesting to sit and do it with her as we had the news on this morning as they were talking about the electoral votes. I think it really helped her learning it. She has an amazing teacher (Mrs. Davis). I must say I am so proud of education the girls are getting and I love relearning all this stuff with them. Although most days I don't feel smarter then my fifth grader. What am I going to do when she is in high school?? Tutors!
Well this time tomorrow we will have a new president. I don't know who it will be but God does. I also don't know if my guys wins if it will make that big of a difference in where we are going as a country. I do know this that no matter who wins, I need to commit to pray for our president and our country more because God is able to do above and beyond what I could ask or think. I might pray harder if my guy doesn't win but really I should pray hard either way.
