Firstly, I have to say that this is my first diary so be kind!!
I was cleaning the house and I hear a knock on our door. Now we rarely get people at the house and usually it's the Fed Ex guy or the postman. So I am in my sweats and t-shirt with my hair up and all sweaty...
So I look out the window and I see a car and I am wondering who the hell is here. I wasn't going to open the door but I decided why not. So I open the door just a little bit and look out and there are two women, one in her 20's and one in her late 50's. I smile because they are both wearing Obama/Biden buttons. I say hello and they ask me if I am voting. Well at that point I open the door completely and say YES. They start laughing because I am wearing my gray Moveon.org Obama shirt.
The younger girl says well we came to the right place and I agreed. They came in and we chatted briefly because I didn't want to waste their time so they could go canvas other people. They gave me some great info on early voting and some information on local NC candidates.
They looked up at my bookcase and noticed this cool Hope candle I bought on Etsy that has a picture of Obama and the words HOPE and wanted to know where I got it. We also chatted about how excited we are about Obama and how much this election means to us.
Before they left, I got a free button and they got a couple of waters. I thanked them for doing what they were doing and we all actually choked up a little because somehow I think we all realized how important this election is to this country. Then they gave me a hug and were on their way. That made my day so I had to share.
On another note, my good friend in NM is out canvassing today as well with her kids. And I want to say to all of you who are out there canvassing, phonebanking, donating and just doing what you can to make Obama our next president, THANK YOU. Thank you for making a difference!!!
