Election Day

I made an effort to get up earlier today that way I could go and vote before I went to work. So off Chris and I went at around 7:20 am this morning...the line wasn't too bad. There was a couple people out the door but we got in and out quickly. This is a big election and I know the outcome will go down in history. Either way something big is going happen. We are either going to have the first African American President, or a woman for Vice President. Big stuff. I love my husband, he is funny. He took today off from work months ago. I know that he is sitting on the couch right now watching the news with the laptop on his lap sipping his coffee and eating some oatmeal, and Nile is lying there on the couch next to him.
On a down note....this is so incredibly sad:

I can't believe his Grandmother passed away right before this election. Obviously it is bitter sweet especially if he wins, but if he does it is sad that she didn't get to see that happen before she passed.

On a lighter more fun note...Tonight I am skipping bowling and we are going to be attending a little "election get together". Chris is going to make his amazing Enchiladas and I'm sure that some good beer and wine will be involved. Our friend has promised to make some sort of dessert which I am already looking forward to. Should be a fun time had by all.

On an ending note..: This election makes me a little nervous, for whoever wins. But deep down I know that God is in control. And everything is going to work out in the end.

Great Verse

Can anything ever separate us from Christ's love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or are hungry or cold or in danger or threatened with death? ... I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from his love. Death can't, and life can't. The angels can't, and the demons can't. Our fears for today, our worries about tomorrow, and even the powers of hell can't keep God's love away. Whether we are high above the sky or in the deepest ocean, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Amazing Song

This song is called Decode by a band named Paramore, which I am actually really growing to like a lot. Paramore wrote this song specifically for the Twilight movie which naturally makes me love it even more. I think the video is decent, flashing some scenes from the movie. Part of me thinks it's a little boring because they are just singing in the woods, but then the other part of me absolutely loves it because it's simple, and some of the shots of Hayley Williams (lead singer) are very clean. Then again, I may just be bias. Check it out

Happy Halloween!

I am so excited. Despite the fact that I have felt completely and utterly miserable since Monday night, I am excited.

I get to pass out candy to trick-or-treaters tonight!! I have not gotten to do that before!!

Last year when we were in our house we had to work.
And the best part is that the weather outside is amazingly beautiful today!
Those little kids are getting lucky. And so am I, I was almost dreading the freezing cold weather. And I am not a fan of the thought of letting all of the heat out of the house by opening the door constantly. But anyways.....it should be a fun night!

Finally the video we've all been waiting for!!!




Thanks Dave!!

Happy Halloween

I really like one of my coworkers, Karen. Everyday she is in like the best mood ever, always smiling and always being insanely funny. She can always put a smile on your face. She is always making me laugh! Well today I got back from one of my breaks (she happened to be covering the desk for me today, as the office staff has to take turns) and she had left these for me:



They are my little Q-Tip buddies now.
=)
And it's really ironic that she made me those, considering that I am reading Twilight right now.
