Our lives will change today.
Tags:One of the most amazing things I am facing right now is that, regardless of the outcome, our lives will be changed today in a big way. How often do you really know that your life will change? I was emailing with my friend Florence and she commented, "generally you can feel change coming and kinda creeping up on you - it's not often really such a tangible something." I am anxious. I am excited. I am trying to keep it all in perspective and know that whatever happens it will be for something good.
Thank you for so many supportive emails over the last few months regarding the election. One that I really appreciated came this morning from Beth who wrote,
So what's happening right now? It is 8:30am and Chris is out waving signs in the pouring (seriously pouring) rain in one area of our community. After that he will be back on the phones encouraging last minute voters to turn in their ballots. Tonight we will gather at the Lane County Fairgrounds where the returns will begin being announced at 8pm (pacific time).
I am planning to have updates throughout the night here on my blog. My sister also found this site which will begin having results posted after 8pm pacific.
Stay tuned.

Ali, I am so thrilled about today for you guys - can you believe it was Chris I thought of first thing this morning? I am so proud of you - all of you - through this process, and I will be following the Oregon returns more closely than those of my own state! I believe in Chris and his vision - and I can't wait to see what is in store for your family after today :)

Ali,
I've been thinking about you and Chris as we push to the final days of the election. I'll be reporting all night from the Democrat's party in Portland. It's amazing how someone with an idea can touch a population and make change. Best of luck!
