Election Day!!

Hi Friends,

Today is one of my favorite days...Election Day in the beautiful U.S.A.!!!

I don't like to get political on my blog, but I just feel compelled to remind everyone that this election, like all elections, is a big deal. There are many important issues to be decided. Most importantly, who you want to lead this country for the next four years.

When making your decision, please keep in mind everything that is at stake. Don't just think about your life in 2012 and what issues matter to you now, but all the issues that will ever be important to you. Why do I say that? This election will affect the trajectory that this country takes, and the people we place in positions of leadership will have the ability to change the moral and political fiber of this country.

I voted for President Barack Obama again this year as I did four years ago and I stand behind him, his policies, his platform, and his morals. Here's to four more years in office for the candidate that, as my dear friend/cousin-in-law Meegs put it, "respects human dignity, health care, gay marriage, women’s rights, science, education, alternative energy, the global economy, global security, opportunity (not just for the privileged), democracy and the judiciary. No one puts me in a binder. :)" Wise words from a wise lady :). 

P.S. I'm hosting an election party tonight and will make sure to snap some pics of all of our election themed drinks/treats for your viewing pleasure...
