Elections!!

So you all should know that we have officially voted! The Embassy here had a little voting party yesterday for all the American citizens to turn in and fill our their absentee ballots.

It was really neat seeing so many Americans that were abroad coming and voting. I over heard one of the workers say that there were over 500 people that turned out to vote. This picture of half of the line waiting to get inside.

We could not take a picture of the Embassy (the outside or inside) for security reasons...this picture was taken through the gate when we where waiting in line (do not tell) :)

It is also funny how many people that we have run into that ask who we are going to vote for. Obama is very popular here and it is always entertaining to hear people from other countries talking about who the next Americas president should be! It just shows how much people follow politics in the States. I just pray that God will have his hand in who ever the next president is. I'm sure at home things are crazy with all the commercials and election fun.

Well anyway it was really exciting and fun for Tim and I because it is the first election that we have voted in. I missed the last one because I did not turn 18 until the next month and Tim forgot to register. What a great first time experience to do it abroad!!!
