I am so glad elections are over and I can rest and hopefully my dads bloodpressure can go back down. Yesterday was a exciting and disappointing day. Yesterday morning I went to the polls to stand with my Yes 102 sign and encourage the people to "vote for Marriage." I was so encouraged that so many people treated me with respect and thanked me for "helping bring morality back to this lost world." Two years ago I stood outside the same polls, with the same sign and cause, and I had people glaring at me and saying nasty things to me. Then that night I watched the prop we worked so hard on fail.
Last night was a much better night. As I sewed my girls fall skirts, ( I was too anxious to just sit) my heart was so happy as I watched the polls close, the numbers come in and saw that Prop 102 was going to pass this time. Even though I am not happy about all the outcomes of the election, at least I know there are good people out there, who still have traditional values and are concerned about the future of our children and country.
I wish the war for good values was over and we could all rest. Unfortuately, I think we still have a long hard fight ahead of us, but at least one battle is done. Let us all keep faith and get ready for the next battle.

I'm impressed that you stood at the polls, very awesome! Nate and I voted early so we didn't have to deal with the polls. We were happy 102 passed. Yay!!!
Congrats from one state to another :)
