Adriana picked up this leaf on the way home today and had me smell it because she thought it smelled kinda like popcorn. When I smelled it I thought it smelled like syrup. Then it clicked, it was a maple leaf, like maple syrup. Next time you have the chance, smell one and let me know what you think it smells like.If you are reading this late tonight waiting to find out who won the election, you can go to bed, because in Ariel's second grade class they had an election and Obama won. I think that is a good representation. :) It is great that they get excited about the election in school.
For my gratitude challenge, today I am grateful to live in a state where my vote counts, (and that my state chose my candidate overall). I got all tingly voting this morning. It was so thrilling.

I think your vote should always count. Every state has a majority leaving many people feel that their vote doesn't count. If anything if your state is blue doesn't that make your vote less important because everyone is voting that way? It's all just flaws of our voting system.
What I meant by that my vote counted was that it was a battleground state, it could have gone either way. In Utah it just felt like if you voted either way, it wouldn't really make a difference. I agree that our voting system is flawed. I wonder what it will take to get away from the electoral college and start electing presidents by the popular vote.
