The family that votes together…
OK. So waited until the proverbial 11th hour to go and vote, but Veronica & I made it to the polls at around 7:15pm to make sure our vote was cast. For Veronica, this was only her 2nd election since becoming a citizen in March, so she has the mixture of being really nervous and also really fired up.
It has been quite the 8 months of civic growth for Veronica - becoming a citizen after 17 years in the U.S., voting for the first time in her adult life, and receiving her first jury summons!! She has been paying taxes for years, so I don’t know what else she can do to experience her new citizenship.
P.S. Maybe more importantly, we also exercised all of our voting power tonight in voting for Dancing with the Stars. For our household, that means 10 votes from 2 cell phones, 5 votes from the house phone, plus 10 more votes on-line!! Needless to say, it will be Emmitt squaring off versus Mario next week…
