election day

today was the first time i had ever voted before, and the first time either of us voted for a president of the united states. todd was in the ctm when the last election happened. it was a very interesting experience and very different from the way i had seen it on tv like on mr. monk and the election. there was no booths with curtains or anything. i registered at our precinct and i went to the ladies at this table to get a ballot and they were talking about this sign that they had seen or wanted to put up that said "the polls are really busy today so if you are voting for obama, please come back tomorrow"! haha it was really funny. rexburg is very conservative...well, most of idaho is. todd and i watched the map on msnbc of the various states turning either red or blue. i kept refreshing the page to get the latest info since we don't have tv. it was cool to take advantage of my right to vote since i have had the chance to vote for over 2 years now. well, God bless America...we are going to need it. :)

we also met with henry j. eyring (president henry b. eyring's son) today for an interview. more will come when todd actually gets sustained! you'll just have to live with the suspense. ;)

me 'n dani

so while our husbands were gone huntin', we decided to just be girls for the weekend, not wives! :) i went over to their house last night and helped hand out candy. we watched roman holiday (which is such a cute funny movie! but i didn't like the ending!), and 3 episodes of psych. we went out to dinner at wingers and had a funny waiter named "seaweed" (from Hairspray) because that's who we was for halloween! :) we asked him if he could dance and he said "i can do anything you want me to do, baby" to danielle. it was really fun! we saw haley heiner there and she wasn't engaged yet...but she will be soon! :) there was a cool D.A.R.E set up with a firetruck outside of the REX and they were giving out candy to the little kids. it was neat.
we ate a lot of candy and had a grand ole time. danielle got up early to go to the temple with an old roommate who's going on a mission. i slept in. when they got back we went to IHOP in IF for breakfast with a bunch of danielle's old roommates/friends. it was fun and good. then danielle and i decided to go window shopping at the mall. it was a lot of fun and i was tempted to buy a few shoes, but i didn't. we did go into bath and body and put on some nice lotion and lipgloss and also into dillards and sprayed expensive perfume on. then we went to victoria's secret and put on our makeup for the day. we looked like divas/hookers. it was just all their sample stuff lying around. it was fun. we found some other fun stores to try some stuff on and take some sweet photos! :) we came back to rexburg and discovered the color swap feature on my camera and swapped colors out for other colors! it was a blast! we made some really fond memories!
hopefully our boys come home with an elk...if not, that's ok. that just means we can have another girls night/day! :)
