Election 08


Today is a historic day, of course we won't know the results of today until tomorrow or more accurately the end of the week, but today is a historic day. 

The day is a historic day for America! 
Paul and I voted for McCain. I was able to early vote last week when I was in Nashville. We are both still registered in Nashville even though we have been living in Huntsville since April 08'. Many Americans believe that Obama is going to be our first black president. They may be right. But to me there is something funny about him. His speaches are too perfect and he says everything you want to hear. Maybe that is just being a politician. He reminds me of a child that tells his or her parents everything they want to hear, but behind closed doors is doing all the opposite. However, I understand why people want him in office since we have had a very bad economy these last few months. Paul and I put our home in Nashville on the market the first of August and we turned down offers, only to find out later, that the market tanked and now we've pulled it off until 09'. I wish we could sell our home so we can get more settled in Huntsville. Which brings me to the second reason today is historic...

The day is a historic for my career. 
I've been debating whether to stay put at my current job working for a contract furniture dealership, or to take a new job as an independant manufacturers rep. With Baby Hardison on the way, there are a lot of things to consider. While Paul would love for me to continue to work at my current job for the next 6 months and then stay home with the baby, I would like to continue to work and still be able to stay home with my baby. Changing to the independant manufacturers rep side of things, I feel will give me more flexibility to continue to work and spend time with family. I am very excited about this opportunity and plan to accept the new position with in the next week. It has it's challenges going from a salaried position to a commission only. But I am thrilled about it and through prayer and discussions with confidents feel it is the right choice. 

I am posting a current photo of our baby. The baby is 15 weeks today!
