I'm a Georgia Voter!

This morning since Jay was home, we decided to head over to the Woodstock Library and early vote. We told the girls that we would delay school and get dressed and try to see if we could go ahead and vote today. Well, Anli began to belt out "God Bless America" while dressing in a bright red best, dark blue jeans, and a white turtleneck! She's a trip! You can't see but I have an American flag on my sweater...we're just that crazy.

Our girls have gone with us to vote every time there has been an election during their lifetimes. It's important for them to see the process and be a part of this freedom. We talked a little about the candidates and who we would be voting for today. They did such a great job that people were commenting on how well behaved they were...technology is a great thing too:)

We all put on our red,white and blue and headed out to brave the cold and lines. But, we were pleasantly surprised that the line was only 32 minutes long when we arrived!

About halfway through the line we asked Virginia who she was voting for...and she quickly told us "Daddy"! How precious...me too Virginia...me too.

Each of the girls got to go with one of us to actually vote! They loved seeing the screen and we talked them through some of the process. They really had fun and it was extremely educational for them to walk the entire process with us. Everyone was thrilled to see such young "future voters." I'm so proud of these girls!!!

After standing in the cool air for 30 minutes, we were ready for a Starbucks run! This was Anli's wonderful idea...it's bad when your child thinks of Starbucks before you do:) So, we headed over to get some hot chocolate (OK, the BEST hot chocolate in the world is out right now. It is called the salted caramel hot chocolate. It is a signature hot chocolate! It is the BEST!!!!!) and a doughnut. It was wonderful and just the thing to warm us up.

This evening is our fall festival, so Jay had to scurry up to the church after a yummy lunch at Honey Baked Ham. We are going up there in a few hours and help him set up and get ready! We can't wait! Have a great day and enjoy God and let your focus be on Him alone. Take a moment with each person who comes to your door or into your day to share the light of Christ!
