Today was a much anticipated, long-awaited day for Savannah. She was able to vote for the first time! Although she isn't quite 18, in NC the law says that if you will be of age and able to vote in the general election then you are allowed to vote in the primary as well. She did some research this morning on each of the positions and (after the dentist) off we all went to vote! It was truly an exciting event. :)
When we were checking in the sweet older lady was so excited when she found out Savannah was a first time voter. After checking us both in she came up behind us and made this huge announcement to the entire center to which Savannah received a large round of applause. It was quite embarrassing and certainly a day she won't forget. After her moment of glory, the lady handed Preston two cookies and said she didn't want him to feel left out.
It was truly a special day for us and I'm so thankful to have been able to share it with my girl!
