About a week ago I mentioned my upcoming trip to the Dominican Republic with Compassion.
And since then I realized I will need to absentee vote in the Presidential elections.
I’ve never been good with dates.
I’m sure other people thought of that immediately, but it didn’t dawn on me until I heard someone refer to election day on November 4 and I was all like “November 4? Where am I going to be November 4? That date means something for some reason.”
Oh yes. I’ll be out of the country.
No watching hours of endless media speculation and early projections for me.
I can honestly say I’m not even sad about it. Just let me know what happens when it’s all over.
Anyway, the point is that I wanted to tell y’all who else will be on the trip with me so you’ll know who else will be early voting.
1. Mary at Owlhaven. I’m so excited Mary is going because I’ve read her blog for years and just love her. She has ten kids of her own and I’m hoping she might temporarily adopt me while we’re in the Dominican.
2. Jennifer at 5 Minutes for Mom. I’ve emailed with Jennifer since I started my blog because we are both Aggies, even though she has the great misfortune of living up north right now. But we share a love of Kyle Field, the Dixie Chicken, and Double Daves pizza rolls.
3. Marlboro Man at Pioneer Woman and his two daughters. I feel certain that most of you know who Marlboro Man is because over a gazillion and a half people read his wife’s blog. I think we’ll have a lot in common because I sometimes see cows as I drive down the road and he is a cattle rancher.
4. Tim at Challies.com and his son. Tim is Canadian so he won’t be early voting.
Our fearless leaders will be Shaun Groves and Brian Seay.
There may be a few last minute additions to the group, so I’ll keep you posted. In the meantime, we’d all appreciate your prayers as we begin to prepare for the trip.
