Rock the Vote!

All this inauguration coverage has got me thinking and reminiscing. I have to agree, this is a very exciting and historical time. For many reasons....I think what I will remember most about this time in American history and my own history is the election of 2008. I will remember it because I cast my absentee ballot but forgot to sign it. So, the city hall called me and asked me to come in and sign it. Of course, I didn't go right away and all of a sudden, woke up at 2am on Monday morning, 11/3/08 having major contractions. So...on the way to the hospital on Monday, around 2:30pm, Lane and I drove over to city hall so I could sign my ballot and he could cast his. I was nervous because news coverage all over the country talked about how insane lines were everywhere. Some people waited all day to cast their votes. We walked in, the line was not too bad, but moving slow. And there I stood...waiting to cast my all important vote in the most historic election in my time, having contraction after contraction and trying NOT to scare the people around me :) November 4, 2008 will always be an incredible day for me...seeing Barack elected and having Griffin! History in the Making!!!
