After months of anticipation we made it here–finally! Just got back in from my polling place here in DC and, man, it feels like a weight has been lifted off of my shoulders. Without a doubt, this will go down as my most memorable voting experience ever!

Surprisingly, the wait in line wasn’t as bad as I expected. About an hour tops but, honestly, I wouldn’t have been mad if it were longer. It was just so great to stand in line watching, listening and talking with so many people who, at 6:45 a.m., were wide awake and genuinely excited to get inside to cast their vote. Even the kids who were waiting alongside their parents didn’t seem to mind being out so early. Such a beautiful sight to see.

I have a feeling today will be a great day!
