Fall seems to have come and gone in such a short time, and even though the orange leaves are still barely clinging to their tree branches, I am already missing them. I remember explaining the season of autumn to Dulce one afternoon, and she thought it sounded like the most beautiful thing she could ever see. I agree. I love the fall leaves. More than snow, I think.
I have been keeping myself super busy with school and work these days. However, Sam, Joe, and I took time out to carve pumpkins a few days before Halloween. I forgot just how much fun it is to continue traditions like pumpkin carving. Sam and I made scary faces while Joe created a...um...devil? (the one that looks like an evil bunny) They made the perfect display outside my apartment :) If you didn't see it in person, shame on you. :)
The next night, we went to my first haunted house in Nashville. I love scary stuff like that when you know that it is fake, so the SlaughterHouse was a blast! Sam
screamed through every second, and I couldn't help but laugh when a clown chased her through the eight-door maze. It was a great time...I am going to miss Sam and Joe when they go off, get married, and leave me. Oh, and I was a kitty cat for Halloween at work. It was the best I could come up with in an hour.The next week, Hannah came to spend the night with me. In the spirit of the season, I decided she should roll a yard for the first time. Let's see...who lives in Cookeville and has a perfect yard to roll? Aunt Jenifer, of course! Hannah, Sam, Joe, and I hopped into my car with 48 rolls of toilet paper, 500 napkins, and 2 bottles of whipped cream. Needless to say, winter came a bit early at the Shaw residence.... you are welcome :)
And now....November 4th. My first Presidential election to have the right and privledge to vote. Two things:
1) Yes, I did vote for Barack Obama.
2) No, I will not discuss politics with you.
2) No, I will not discuss politics with you.
I voted for Obama, and I am excited to see how he can help the economy of our great nation. I think he will be an excellent leader, and
we can hope that the people of this country can come together in his support. Whether you voted for President-elect Obama and his running mate Joe Biden or not, now is the time to lay aside all previous judgements and accusations. A new leader doesn't mean doom and destruction, nor does it mean overnight success. However, it does mean we have a new person to root for; a new hope for our country; a new spirit of change and growth. I hope that all citizens of the United States of America will not hinder his new ideaology, but help embrace Barack Obama as our President and offer him support through every step of the way.

I just stepped off the soap-box, pushed it aside, and made a campfire out of it. No worries. I'm getting excited about Thanksgiving...I love me some turkey!!
Love. Love. Love.
