I voted...

...did you?

I almost didn't vote, not because I didn't want to (because believe me...I did) but because I didn't think I would be able to.

Here's the thing. I was a registered voter back in 2000 when I voted after I got home from my mission. I was registered under my maiden name, and at my parents address where I was living.

Fast forward 12 years later I didn't realize I had to re-register with my information updated until after registration had closed. I was so bummed!!

I read FAQ's online about it and they all said if you have changed your address, name, etc, then you needed to register again.

This was the one election where I really felt that my heart was in it, and really wanted to have my vote count. Obviously I didn't vote last election with Obama...

However, last night as we were watching the news they had said that if you have changed your address since your last registration...you can go to your polling place and cast a provisional ballot, and still vote.

YAY!!! I was sooo happy!

I waited in line at the Elementary School for our precinct and luckily got to bypass the majority of the people there and do the whole provisional ballot. The whole thing took me no longer than 40 minutes. So happy!

So, who did I vote for?

Mitt Romney all the way! And Mia Love for Congress. (she came and spoke to us xango-ites last week - she's fabulous!)

So anxious to see what happens....

 

I VOTED!!!! YEAH BABY!
