Deployment/Election Day

well, i'm officially a deployed spouse. kyle left yesterday. i was able to go back to the terminal and wait with him. that was lots of fun we spent over an hour taking pictures of ourselves making funny faces. i didn't cry when he got on the plane, i'm not that type of girl. not that there's anything wrong with cryers, i just can't do it.
anyway, today is election day. i live in a "swing" state now so i had people come up to the house everyday for the last week and half reminding me to go down and vote. i went in this morning and was happy i only had to wait a little over an hour. after watching the news i was excpecting over 2 hours. some areas here were on the news as having a 4-6 hour line! at least people are voting. it's such an important time for our country. it is every americans (over 18) right and responsibility to go down and vote. i hope all my friends and family went and did it. kyle even voted through absentee ballot before he left.
anyway, i'm getting a massage on friday. it's at a new place, not my normal girl. this one is closer to home and i've been getting crazy advertising from them so i figured i'd try them out. if i like it i might start going there. its seriously like 5 min away. my normal girl is down by our old house which is like 25 minutes away so this place would be good. gas has gone down -$1.87!!!! but who know's how long that's oing to last.
yes that's right. today i bought gas for $1.87. i filled up my truck for a little over $20. i was so excited i did a little car dance as i drove away. i went down to ikea and i got this spatula that's like double wide. it's awesome i can't wait to make jumbo pankakes with it.
