31 Days in the Moment - All Grown Up and Voting!

31 October 2014

Today was a memorable day!

Maggie was able to vote for the very first time, thanks to early voting here in our town. 100% of our household is voting age now and that gives me some misty moments. It means that all of our children are over 18 years old, no longer babies.

Maggie was sad that she wasn't able to vote in 2012 when Davey voted for the first time. His first vote was the presidential election. She wanted so much for them to vote together. They've done most everything together over the course of their lives, such as baking cakes in the kitchen floor and the peanut butter dance. Although she is thirteen months younger than Davey, they graduated high school together, started college together, and had hoped to graduate college together. Davey went to the Marines instead and now she doesn't plan to walk for the graduation ceremony when she graduates next spring/summer.

But, for today, she was happy that she was finally able to vote!
