Go vote! (or don't)

Ok, so I tried to post this yesterday, but the internet killed out, so just note that everything is from yesterday...

Ok, so before anyone gets offended, let me explain the backstory first. Ok, so I left work at 1:30 today since I had a doctor's appointment. Everything was fine, and I actually don't have to go back for almost 5 weeks (Sept 29th), when we get to find out boy or girl! It seems like forever now, but I'm hoping it passes quickly. Especially since my family from St. Simons is coming in October! It's been about a year and a half since I saw them last. Anyway, we had planned on going home after my appointment, but they were running behind, so it was pretty late, and since we still had to vote & David had to be at church at 7, we grabbed something while we were out. Ok, so we go to vote. Well, there are only about 3 cars where we normally vote. No one bothered to tell us that they had moved where we were supposed to vote! So we wound up going aaaaaaalllllll the way to the community center past the middle school (at this point I was really tempted to go home since I had been gone almost 12 hours). We get there, and see a girl we go to church with. We go in together, sign in at our district & vote. I thought there was more to vote for honestly. The only thing we got to vote for was mayor. I thought this was supposed to be for city council and a couple of other things! Anyway, as we were coming out, so was the person we knew. They wouldn't let her vote!! The said that the part of the road (ok, note the PART - other people on her street could vote) wasn't considered city limits. What's that about?! She was trying to do her part and couldn't. I told her I would have made them double check to see if her name was there. So that's my little story. I guess I'll get off my soap box now! Anyway, everything else is going fine (even though I learned that another has been added to the preggo list). Oh, and our hotel in Atlanta is set! We're going to stay at the Hilton for free (come on, how often does that happen) - at least my dad traveling has an upside!
