i knew ahead of time that election day was going to be a very busy day for me, and i knew i wouldn't have a chance to get to the poles to vote. so ethan and i took a trip to the library for some early casting. i ended up having to fill out a paper ballot because of our recent address change. i was annoyed at first at having to fill in all the little circles with a ball point pen, it took forever. but in the end i liked it better because i got to fold my ballot up, seal the envelope and drop it in the big silver ballot box myself.
it felt very official where the credit card swipey method feels more like a visit to the atm machine. while i was taking a photo of myself voting, i noticed that the old lady election judges, sitting at the table next to the ballot box, were looking at me like i was from outer space. maybe i am from outer space, but to me, voting is a big, big deal. i'm just so thankful to have the privilege to do it.**have YOU voted yet?**
**what are you waiting for?**

Oh my! Is that your Ethan? (I have one, too, you know) He is such a Smith! Seriously, thought it was Brandon for a second there.
I love that picture with you and Ethan...really cute:)
I am sure if the ladies new what a blog was they would have totally understood what was going on with the picture taking:)
That's so AWESOME that you voted already!!!
This will be my first year voting since I just became a USA citizen last year. I'm so excited!!!
I think people will think I'm from outer space too, because I'll be taking pictures for sure....LOL
Thanks for voting early.....that will make my job a ton easier the day of voting! I hope a ton of others do the same thing.
I am just going to vote the day of...I am working the polls where I vote so I will try and be the first one to vote at my polling station!
My opinion is if you don't vote you can't complain!
I'm with Kristy I'm taking my chances the day of the election...love the photo of you and "E".
I'm voting on election day because there is no early voting location nearby.
I'll bet they hadn't seen people documenting the voting process before -- very cool!
good for you! i need to do that, and soon. thanks for reminding me...i'm so burnt out on politics i was toying with the idea of bagging the whole darn thing! aaaahhh!!! politics!!!!
We did the early ballot thing too! There is just something about putting your ballot in the big box though--instead of just stamping it and mailing it in!!
Good for you!
Way too go! I have yet to go because every time I've been to the library the line was a mile long. I love that Ethan "voted", too :)
Good job voting early! I am a procrastinator and am going to vote tomorrow. I hope the lines aren't too long....but if they are then that does keep me away from work longer! hmmmmm!
