& We’ve got our sticker to prove it!
I have always loved election day. Always. I can remember being a little girl and loving to get to go down to the “voting house” (that’s what I grew up hearing our precinct’s location called) – and it literally did look like a little wooden house. I’d get to go to the voting house, almost always twice on election days, which also meant I got two stickers. First, with my grandparents, and then later in the evening with my parents when they got home from work. They always went together to mark their ballot. I remember them always being very serious about it, too. Not as serious as “The Lord’s Supper”/ communion at church, but almost. I grew up knowing that it was a right, responsibility, and privilege to vote.
DW and I voted together this morning, just like we have since we were married. I pray our girls will look back someday and remember their Momma & Daddy always voting together and feel the same sense of patriotism and appreciation that I do.
I’ve read a lot of things on Facebook and Twitter today about this election. I am praying for our country and it’s leaders, but also remembering that as Rick Warren so beautifully tweeted today: “Our hope is not in the man we put in the White House, but in the Man we put on the Cross.”

Waiting and praying but also trusting the One who is in control of it all. :)
So...I haven't checked in for about a month and all of a sudden your girls look so big! Annabelle sitting on her chair on the phone is TOO much! :) LOVE it! Praying for our country...and thankful that regardless of the outcome...that Jesus is KING! :)
well said and well done!! :)
What sweet sentiments Annie. I love that the privilege to vote is also a tradition for you. I also cried when I read that Rick Warren quote.
