I Voted

Too bad coffee tastes like dirt...and, even more too bad we don't have B&J's or KK...

    Ahh, I didn't get a cool sticker! And today was my very first time voting. EVER!! No, it wasn't the first time I was able to vote, just the first time I felt the URGE to get out and vote!

    I didn't get a sticker either..What is the story with that?
    Guess New Jersey doesn't give out stickers.

    less than an hour for our wait. now onto praying for our next leader, even if it wasn't who I voted for. He will still be our leader, and NEEDS our prayers.
    Praise God that HE reigns, no matter who wins!

    Our Chick-fil-a is giving out a free sandwich if you're willing to turn over your sticker.

    Has anyone noticed especially huge lines? People were parked down the street and around the corner.

    I, having an especially crazy 3 yr old, voted via absentee ballot.

    I'm praying today goes well. I love watching the new!

    I didn't wait in line at all in my district, but I heard that other districts had very long lines. Hopefully, no one will decide not to vote.

    I got the sticker and the coffee!

    I'm having a fun giveaway for a great cause on my blog. 4 (maybe 5) bed nets will be going to kids in Africa to prevent malaria and one (maybe 2) t-shirts will be given to the blog reader(s) that are picked. Come leave a comment before 7pm CST and enter to win! (And learn about malaria too!)

    That pic is too funny Nate! :) No free Starbucks in Northern Virginia this morning and no KK or B and J near here either. But, voting is what counts right?

    Your family is such an absolute awesome testament and PROOF that pro-life matters! And maybe your God-given journey has effected many who think life at 24 weeks (fetal dev.) should be up to the woman to decide whether a baby should and can live. Thanks for letting God use you! I know how I'm voting...pro-life!!!

    We don't have a Chick-Fil-A here, so I didn't mention it in my last comment. =(

    I hope the turn out is awesome! I'm glad I voted early because I would not have been able to stand long lines with two toddlers!

    I got 3 stickers (one for me, one for each of my toddlers).

    If you put enough cream and sugar in it, coffee doesn't taste so much like dirt...

    We've got a SB and KK here, but I don't know if it's worth driving over there just to get a free coffee and donut (that I really don't need anyway).

    In my 38 years of voting, I have never been given or offered a sticker. I guess PA is a poor state. :-)

    I take offense to the coffee comment, though... There isn't a more wonderful beverage in the world. :)

    haha! I'm feeling the same way! We have B&J's and starbucks but not KK or chick-fil-a.
    A small complaint on the scale of things, I guess, after I was just allowed to help choose the next leaders of our country.

    Interesting that you think coffee taste like dirt. Never thought of it but some coffee I have had in the past did taste like dirt. On a side note, I occasionally pick of coffee grinds from Sbucks for our compost pile. Which, eventually turns into dirt.

    Thankfully, no long lines this morning here in Charlottesville especially since my five year old twins were with me! The kids were great so we headed out for free Ben & Jerry's later. That line was much longer!!

    Hey Nate, Tricia & Gwyneth,

    Just thought I'd share this with you. I have been following another blog for the last 2 months or more and thought you might be interested as well. It is http://kayleighannefreeman.blogspot.com/ She is a 4 month old, born at 26 weeks, weighing 1 lb 1 oz at birth. She just had heart surgery today and is doning very well. She is precious just like you Gwyneth and has fantastic parents as well, like you (Nate and Tricia). Please check out her blog and say a few extra prayers for Kayleigh tonight.

    Thanks for listening and have a great evening...

    Hugs from California, where I already voted :),

    Traci

    You can join me at Chick-fil-a for a Peppermint Chocolate Chip milkshake. Or a trip to Rita's. My treat the next time you're in Cville :-)

    I did absentee last week so no sticker for me. I passed up donuts and coffee as I eat neither and Ben and Jerry's is in Detroit an hour and a half away. Sooooo I had a chance for free apple pie at a local deli-passed on that too. Came home to Twitter and Comedy Central. Since there isn't any good sports on to watch. See ya in the new tomorrow.

    Guess I will rub in that I got 2 stickers for those readers who didn't even get one. I got an awesome one, kind of large that said I voted and it had my county and state on it.

    My son got one like you have. He helped me put my ballot in the machine, and at age 7 that is a huge deal!

    Too bad your sticker was so TINY!! Or maybe you're just bigger than Stellan, so your sticker LOOKS tiny. But man, I truly thought the big, round, red "I VOTED" stickers were nationally used. Guess not. But good for you, nonetheless.
