Election, New Job, and GATORS

Today is Election Day! I am ready for the election to be over because I am tired of all the bashing that has been occuring in both local and national elections. It makes me not watch TV...which is not necessarily a bad thing. I also will be glad to listen to the radio in peace again, hopefully in a few weeks.

I am hoping that McCain pulls out a victory but know that is a long shot. I think it's sad that our country is leaning more and more towards socialist ideals and hope that people think about that when they are voting for our President.

Anyways, enough about that because I simply don't want to go there.

Travis' new job starts next Monday! It is a very exciting time and I know he is ready for these last few days to be done. I am so glad he has found another opportunity to work in finance. His starting day is also his 25th birthday! It is hard to believe we are reaching that age! Eek! We haven't really talked about plans but I hope we at least get a cookie cake to celebrate (because they are the BEST!).

We are going this weekend to Highlands for the first time with Christy and Charles. The Kimbel's are also going. It should be fun. I'm hoping to get in a little hiking and running since I have been quite exhausted and sick the last 2-3 days. I hate when I don't feel well enough to workout- I just have to force myself to relax so that I can get better instead of dragging it out longer. It seems I'm getting sick a lot again this year at Brumby even though it's not my first year teaching. I use hand sanitizer ALL the time but it doesn't seem to be enough!

We haven't been up to too much. Mostly just watching the Gators slowly claw their way back up the polls. We are cheering for a trip to the National Championship but know it's still a few games away. Hopefully they win out! If the Gators go to Miami in January Travis and I will do whatever we can to get there....Saturdays in the fall are great! We love watching Gameday and football games all day. I also love reading Every Day Should be Saturday (EDSBS) with Travis. It's a Florida alum who has a blog about all things in college football! He's very witty and makes fun of pretty much everything. I will add his blog link to the bottom of my page!
