Election Day 2008


Will and I decked out in our Red, White and Blue, headed to the polls after my parent conference day at school. It had been a rainy morning and Bobby had stood in line for 45 minutes at 6am to vote already. We got there about 12:15 and cast our split-ticket vote. What a historic election! Locally, we voted to unseat our incumbent city council (we got half of our wish on that one), we voted for Mark Warner (D) for US Senate who won, replacing retiring John Warner and John McCain (R) for President. Will was a hit at the polling station. He should have been able to vote as much election coverage as I watched while pregnant with him and since he has been born. I live on MSNBC and Morning Joe from 6-9am. I have been so excited about this election and even though Senator McCain didn't win, history has been made and we will support our president. But, what will I watch on TV now?

I took the boys to vote also and was disappointed that Ben and Jerry's didn't consider them "voters"! I did, though, and bought them an ice cream! :)

Hello Scott Family! I miss seeing you guys, but glad to hear all is well. Shelby and Will look great in the pics sporting red, white, and blue! Tim and I weren't too thrilled with the Election Day results, but life goes on....I was even more bummed that we didn't get around to getting any freebies with our "I Voted" stickers...oh well, maybe next election we'll take advanatage of the offers. Take care, be blessed, and continue to keep us updated on how things are going. Likewise, we'll keep you updated with how things are going on our end! Lots of Love from the Breedens!!!
