One step closer to the rapture? I think so :) Hey, I'm trying to look on the bright side of all this election drama.

So, like a good portion of America, I voted last night w/ my dad and sister. Due to work and Kcie's trumpet lesson, we weren't able to make it there until 7. When we got to the polls place it seemed like majority of north Tacoma had the same idea, because we saw the line coming out of the church and attempting to wrap around the block. Luckily, this was the line for those whose last names began w/ A-L. The M-Z line had already made its way to inside of the warm, toasty building :) For once in my life, I am thankful for my last name.

First off, I do not consider myself a fan or a "supporter" of McCain. I actually find him pretty annoying and not, by any stretch of the imagination, who should of been chosen as the Republican candidate. For one thing, the dude can barely answer a direct question in a direct manner. When asked what they plan to do to be sure that the gov't is doing what they need to be doing when they need to be doing it, one does not need to go off on their speil of what they plan to do for the environment. Especially when one is the face of a party that is not particularly big on that issue. Though, I will give him props for having a decent thought process regarding education during the last debate.

I'm not opposed to change in the broad scheme of the term, it's pretty much inevitable. But I am against change that totes along its support for abortion/murder. Which is why I opted to vote for the person who displayed at least an inkling of a sense of biblical values and morals. Plus, I'd prefer an inexperienced vice president over an inexperienced president. I believe Obama wasn't even in the senate for a year before he began his campaign of terror. Whoops, I'm starting to bring a bit of a personal vendetta into this.

By the way, did anyone notice Obama singling out and thanking the direct groups of Americans who voted for him? Like the blacks, the whites, the gays, etc. Wasn't one of his campaigning digs the fact that we're all under the same umbrella? I found that to be a tad ironic. And no matter how hard he tries, he will not be winning everyone over.

Oh well, what's done is done. It's all in God's hands now and I am so thankful that He knows what the future holds!

I've got a 3 letter word for you - JOBS

Hahahaha, that was soooooooooo funny! Ah, Biden. Okay, so I'm trying to keep this from being a political blog, so I won't dwell on it. But I will admit that I'm not too excited for Tuesday to come, because I'm not overly crazy about either candidate :-( Oh well, what can you do?

So, it's been a while since I've updated my blog and I decided it was time for a comeback. When I last left off, I was still jobless. That is no longer the case. I have been working as a temp at World Vision since mid-Aprilish. Yes, the same place that Mr. Chris Luka used to work at. Our employment there did overlap for a bit, but then he went and left me for Microsoft. My position was technically supposed to be over this past week and was actually shaky a couple of weeks ago when we were getting super low amounts of donation mail in (stupid economic crisis). But God is good and earlier this week, things went through so that my temp position will be extended until Jan. 31st, right before I return to school in February :-D

Speaking of school, that's another area that God recently had his hand in. Things did not work out for me to go to UW like I had been planning. Of course, that was my planning and not neccessarily (well, obviously) not the Lord's. So, I prayed about it, because I knew that being a teacher is what I have always wanted and still want to be. And, as of Thursday, things are starting to really shape up and come together for me to return to PLU (where I had originally gone) to complete my degree. Another answer to prayer :-D Bry and Mindy - remind me to take my foot out of my mouth if I ever tease you for how long it took to get your degrees ;-)

Right now I am chilling out at my Aunt Cheri's place in Edmonds, which is not far from Seattle. I am so glad that, despite the fact that it rained for majority of the day, the weather was good when it came time to take my cousins trick-or-treating. We actually had a lot of fun. Two of my cousins are twins and they're 12 years old. One dressed as Superman and the other as a gorilla. Kylee just turned 10 earlier this month and she was Darth (or Dork as we teased her) Vader. My other cousin Chris, 15 years old, stayed home and handed out candy. Later today, I am planning to take Kylee to go see High School Musical 3. Don't tell anyone, but I'm looking forward to seeing it to, shhhhh. I love the first two movies, but of course, I'm a sucker for musicals in general.

This has been a very boring blog entry, I'm sorry. Hopefully, there will be some excitement in my life in the near future for me to write about. Hey, I am really looking forward to coming down to Medford next weekend for the special meetings! But right now, I think I'm gonna go see if there's any good scary movies on and maybe head toward bed in a while. So, good night!
