Election Day and a Little Bit of Braggin'!

Matt and I went to vote this morning...in fact, we were second and third in line. :O) They signed me in as Voter #2 for our precinct. Of course, I didn't win any prize for that or anything. But I am glad for the privilege to vote. Yes, I did vote for McCain, but it was really a vote against Obama. I did my part. That's all I can do. The rest is in the hands of the Lord. (Romans 13:1...the powers that be are ordained of God.)

Are y'all going to watch the election results? Not me. I wanna to be able to sleep tonight and I'm afraid if I see the results, I'll be up all night. :O) Of course, Jacob's gonna be on the edge of his seat watching...he can tell me what happened in the morning. :O)

Oh by the way, a mother has a right to brag a little now and then, so it's time for an announcement....Jacob did a SUPER job on his very first college test...not just any old test either...this was an Economics test, at that! Tell someone you're taking an Economics course in college and watch for their reaction. They'll gasp and say, "Oh no! I failed that class!" or "All my friends made D's and F's in that class!" :O) At least, that's what we kept hearing from people. Even one of the college staff said, "I don't want to discourage you but this is a very difficult course and you may want to consider taking something else." Yikes! We weren't sure what to expect after all that hullabaloo! :O) But Economics really interests Jacob so he went for it. So then, that's all the more reason for me to say "Yay and hooray, Jacob!!"

And while I'm in "brag mode", let me just slip one in there for Amy too. She's really enjoying her job as certified personal trainer. But a few weeks ago, she applied for, and got a short term position that she was really interested in. She's working as head coach for the girls' junior varsity volleyball team at a really nice prep school!! She's really excited about that, and I'm excited for her. So "Yay and hooray for you too, Amy!!"

I won't tell you about Katie's math test that she made an 'A' on yesterday....and I'll not bore you with details about Rachel's violin playing...at least...not today. :O) We'll save some bragging for another day.

Y'all come back now...ya hear? :O)
