We got our vote in!

We got our vote in..

And it was easier then we expected..

Let me first start off with I am

very antisocial.

I get panic attacks when put 

in situations where I am surrounded

by people I don't know.

I was not looking forward to standing on the voting line.

But lets back track a bit.

This was the first time I have ever voted.

I registered years ago but didn't end up voting.

The fear of standing in line with all those people

got the best of me.

This election though I felt really 

strongly about who I wanted to win and

who I opposed.

I was at story time with my son and

 the voter registration lady was there.

I filled out my form and left with a smile.

Now my husband on the other hand 

procrastinated and waited till the last minute to register.

And if it wasn't for my putting a little 

bit of fire under his butt I doubt he would have 

made the dead line.

But the good news is he did.

I made sure of that.

We both received our cards

in the mail shortly.

But I was starting to get nervous

voting day was getting close.

I was not looking forward to the line

or trying to keep a 3 year old occupied 

while we were waiting.

Luckily we were at the library for another story time.

I saw a poster on the wall ballot by mail.

I quick ran over and got the pamphlet.

Took it home and read it over.

There was a web site on it.

Went filled out a form.

Then had my husband do the same.

Our absentee ballots  arrived in a few days.

On Friday night after we put the kids to bed.

We got out ballots and filled them out.

In the comfort of our own home.

Without being rushed, intimidated, or having to wait.

And from this point on we will receive our ballots in the mail.

And I am so glad!

I no longer have to fear being around all those

people and standing in line.

I filled out my ballot, sealed and signed.

That being said, there is no reason not to vote.

I mean the ballot comes to your house,

NO LINE!

Then we dropped it off at the library ballot box.

It was as easy as mailing a letter.

We got our vote in!

Did you?

Today is the day.

Be apart of the % that 

is exercising their freedom to vote!
