I am so proud of my husband. All the work paid off! and we have soooo many people to thank. We are having a get together at Doc's Pizza Friday night from 5:30-7:00pm. Come if you can so we can say thank you in person!
Election day made for a crazy day and night. While we were picking up signs Calista threw up- I think she gets car sick. We were by Lance's moms house so we ran her inside threw her in the tub, got the car seat cleaned out, and then she threw up some more. It was awesome- and great timing (that is in my sarcastic voice)! We finally got her taken care of and ran back into town.
The votes were to be counted at 9:30pm so we waited and of course the machine wasn't working right. So we waited some more- that was excruciating. Then at 10:30pm the first precinct was in. Lance was ahead by 22 votes. AHHHH. There are 11 precincts and the absentee ballots and they do one at a time. Each report comes out about 5 minutes after the previous one and each time Lance would inch ahead. I thought I would vomit each time I would see the lady stapling the precinct reports to hand out. It seemed kind of archaic and cruel. Finally at 11:30pm all votes were in. It was official- LANCE WON!
And just for the record McCain blew Obama out of the water in Minidoka County!
I forgot my camera, so I don't have a picture of the night of but you can't get them all, huh.
