16 more days!

I guess it's time for an update. We have had a calendar full of activities since my last posting. From birthday parties, chauferring the kids to and from practices, games, Marc's work, visitors for my birthday, school, breaking up daily arguments, Halloween, to prepping for Ricardo to FINALLY come home have kept us going non-stop.. I am sure to have forgotten something on that list!
Now for the election. This is something that has glued me to the news and becoming more aware of the position that each candidate took on the important issues. I was torn on who to vote for as I agreed with about 50% of McCain's views and 50% of Obamas views. In the end my vote went to McCain, even though I knew it would be a long shot if he would actually win. Given Barak's position on the war, I just couldn't give him my vote. He does, however, have some very good ideas when it comes to trying to fix the economy, education reform, and some very other important issues. Not to mention, he is one heck of a speaker! We should all be blessed to live in America where we have a voice and are able to exercise our rights in the way we did yesterday- whether it was the outcome you wanted or not..
16more days until Ricardo comes home! It has been the long six months. I will be crying tears of happiness come that day.. We already have that day planned out. Ricardo has requested some Dos Equis with Lime- chilled for him, and a nice family dinner at Texas Roadhouse! No problems honoring that request!
Take care everyone.. GOD BLESS THE USA!
