Rain? really?

I was hoping for non-rainy weather today or tomorrow so we could have a fire in the backyard with some of the new wood that my parents brought over. Anna and I like to make dinner and go eat by the campfire. It is always nice and relaxing, eating under the stars with a warm fire going.

I realized I haven't actually commented with words about the elections here. Anna and I were both shocked, amazed, and overjoyed that Barack Obama will be our next president. Wasn't as pleased that most of the Senate/Congress spots went to Republicans, but I guess you can't win them all. We're still waiting on the results of Al Franken vs. Norm Coleman. It looks like Coleman has won by just a few hundred votes, out of almost 3 million votes cast. That is just crazy close and I really dont plan on hearing the official results for a few weeks.

It is definitely a relief that the election is finally over, we can all rest easy now and not have to deal with all the TV commercials, mailings, emails. Speaking of campaign mailings, it really did get ridiculous the amount of ads we would get in the mailbox every day. A few days there were over 10 of them, but we never read a single one that got sent to us. It didn't matter who they endorsed, I am not basing my voting decision off what is basically propaganda.

So this will probably be the last political blog post in awhile from me. Hopefully, haha
