Proud to be An American!

Today is a day that will go down in history. I am so proud to be an American (hey I was born on the 4th of July :) and to have a husband who is serving in this Awesome country. I do my share of complaining about the military, but the fact is, what an honor it is!

Whatever happens today- and I am not here to voice my opinion because honestly, we are all Americans, and everyone has a CHOICE. It is not my job to tell anyone who to vote for. I just think it is amazing that so many Americans are out there voting because they can!

While Brian and I do not share with our boys who we have voted for because honestly, when it is time for them to vote, I want them to vote based on their opinions, not ours. We do tell them this- Our country has come so far. In a country where slavery use to exist and African Americans use to have to use a separate bathroom or sit at the back of the bus, we are so proud of Barack Obama for coming this far and helping us to believe that anything is possible. In a country where women are not always considered equal and have never served as a President or Vice President, we thank Sarah Palin for defying all odds and giving women a true voice! Wow- how far we have come!

Get out there and vote. Vote for the best team and support this country!
