Moccasins are great.

I have had my moccasins for almost 10 years now. Seriously, they don't smell and it's not gross. I love them. They fit my feet perfectly like they are molded on there and they are the only thing I wear when I am at home.

So, Ryan was jealous of my super cool mocs and has gone through several imitations that failed to hold the test of time (we are talking months if he was lucky). So, he did his research ...and I am not kidding...and we ended up at....

What? You didn't know that the "World's Largest Moccasin Shop" existed? Well, yes it does and it just happens to be in Milford, NH which is about 20 minutes away from where we live.

He bought himself a squishy new pair of Minnetonkas that he rarely takes off. I insisted I did not need a new pair, my oldies are definitely goodies....and I want to see just how long they can stay together!

Aren't we exciting?

What a night....

When I was 16 years old, I worked on Bill Clinton's campaign. Since then, I have voted several times for many different reasons....primaries, presidential elections, gubernatorial and local leaders, etc. Never have I been so inspired in a leader and in this country. Although I was in and out of sleep until 2am last night, I had tears in my eyes the whole time.

New Hampshire voted for Obama and also voted the first female senator from NH into office, Jeanne Shaheen.

This economy and all that comes with it has been extremely disheartening ... it is nice to have some hope and inspiration right now!

Doesn't it feel good.....

...to vote?

Seriously, I made arrangements to work from home today so I could vote in the middle of the day as opposed to when the lines are out the door. Ryan and I were smiling from ear to ear....it just really feels good!

We were on the news too! Local station, WMUR channel 9. Here is a shot of us at the polls getting our ballots:

Now, Ryan and I don't really like to talk politics as it can get to be a sticky subject sometimes. Coodie, on the other hand has been rather outspoken:

So, now I need to get back to the minute by minute coverage. I am glued even though there are only 2 states reporting...the rest are soon to come and I can't miss it!
