I Voted
Behind me is the line at about 6:30
Aaron and I woke up at 5:30 this morning and walked down to our voting location at the senior center. We took our place in line by 5:45 and groggily watched as it snaked down the block and around the corner. Since we were voting at the senior center they only let a few people in every couple minutes in an attempt to not disrupt the residents. The whole set up reminded me of Disneyland. We eagerly stepped into the building only to find another curling intestine of a line inside. The place was packed with eager voters.
By 6:30 we both cast our ballots, effectively neutralizing the other's vote. Walking out of the polling place we saw the line was even longer which helped me justify our crazy wake up time. We took a little walk around our neighborhood and each polling place we passed had lines a block or two long. I feel a little sorry for the poll workers. They're going to have a long day. But I can't wait to see the results!

Dad and I are going now. This year we actually are both voting for the same presidential candidate...for the first time in awhile!
It is an exciting day!
Too bad you didn't get to use your excuse to cut in line. :( ;)
Dad and I ended up standing in line for 2 hours and 50 minutes...it was worth it, though!
Eric and I canceled out each others' votes this year too. It's a fun kind of marriage to have.
I usually get two votes each election... how you ask? Well, we get absentee ballots and guess who fills them both out-yep me! True trust in a marriage ("sign here honey")
