happy veteran's day!

ok so i had planned to blog the day after elections, but some of the overtly prejudiced comments i read on facebook almost ruined my joyous mood. anyway, i am happy that Obama took the title....also, i hope everyone remembers that it is Veteran's Day

hmmmm on an entirely different note, i got my new passport today! my old one had expired, and since i will be studying abroad in the spring, i needed to renew it. it's so hi-tech, and i think they are making them nearly impossible to fake now. i'm happy with my picture and can't wait to fill the pages with my travels!

my weekend was not too eventful....i went salsa dancing on thusday and friday night, watched the UT vs. Baylor game on saturday (which we won), then celebrated our victory that night by going downtown with my girls. as usual, we had a good time

in preparation for the release of Twilight, i have decided to re-read the first book. i felt like i needed a refresher haha. yall should read it too, and go see the movie on its opening night

it's the day!!

it's finally here! the day to vote has finally come...and i have already voted this morning. here are some videos of pre and post voting.

please head to the polls so you can vote as well. have a great day, and lets hope for a great outcome tonight

can't wait for tomorrow!

i am thrilled that i will be voting for the first time tomorrow. i hope you are too, if you're old enough. i wasn't able to last election, but now i am definitely going to do what i can by voting. in case anyone has any doubts, i am pro-Obama and anti-McCain...i have honestly given both candidates a fair chance, starting them at 50-5o, giving and taking points for whose policies and beliefs i agree with. McCain currently has -2 so that says a lot haha...ultimately, i like Obama because he is at a prime age, has an open mind but knows when to take a firm stance, and mostly because he is about change and progress. i am not here to sway anyone's vote one way or another, and while i am for him, i encourage everyone (yes, even the McCain supporters) to get to the polls and vote!

p.s. i just want to let everyone know that i am not against people who are for McCain....if i loved you as a person before then it will still be the same after tomorrow...we will just agree to disagree when it comes to politics and what we think is better for this country ;-)
