1,000 Views!!!

WOW! Can't believe it I have 1,000 views! Thanks to all who view my blog!

I have been surprised how much I have enjoyed blogging the last couple of months, and I am hoping that next year I will look back and enjoy re-reading all that I wrote about and the last year that I had.

So, on Monday morning after I got off work, Ben made me go vote with him...which I am kind of embarrassed to say, it was my first time voting. So, I knew that I needed to go with him.  I like to use the excuse that I have never voted b/c it wasn't something that was very much discussed in our household growing up since only one parent could vote...which honestly has allot to do with it.

Voting is something that is an amazing privilege that we have been given and call me narrow minded or unAmerican if you wish, but for some reason there just isn't something inside of me that has a large desire to vote.  Since I don't vote, I tend to avoid political conversations or just sit and listen to what others have to say.  I feel that since I don't actively vote, I don't have room to comment much on politics and I certainly don't have room to complain about anyone who is in office. 

But, as an adult and as a US citizen it is my right as much as it is my duty to vote for our leaders, so I voted this week. Well, Ben and I both learned that I need to sleep next time I attempt to vote!  I was a mess! I didn't have an updated drivers license, fell asleep/nodded off while voted, continually was giggling b/c of lack of sleep and because of my stupidity and who know what else went wrong!  We both had some good laughs on the way home.

Sorry I didn't blog yesterday, I was working last night and got completely sidetracked and totally forgot about it. 

I'm quite tired after 3 nights in a row and a really busy weekend last weekend, so I am hoping that I get some RR in this weekend! :)

Tonight, I am thankful for the strength to deal with life and all of its crazy mishaps.
