Holding our breath!

It's officially November 3!! Election Day!!
Pretty much everything we've done for the past 4-5 months has been in preparation for this day!
Elect Matthew Harris!!
There are so many emotions to explain my feelings for today, excitment, stress, anxious, nervous, proud, and the list goes on and on. Last night the rush of getting out there kind of came to an end. It was like we had this feeling that we had physically done all that we possibly could do. Poor Matt looks like he's a walking zombie. But he's out there this morning doing what he called "sign shaking."
All of this campaigning has totally confirmed my admiration for Matt. When I met him I could immediately tell that he was not a guy that sat back and waited for things to happen or waited for "a good time to do it," he sees what needs to be done and gets out and does it. Given now that we are married sometimes that drives the procrastinator in me absolutly crazy. That is one reason we are so good for each other. We balance each other out.
Matt has worked his butt off litterally he has lost weight with all the walking and lost sleep over stressing. He is ready for this. I'm just praying that we can be ok with the results. While we were waiting for the results in the primary election one of the other candidates came over while I was sitting there deep in thought asked me if I was preparing my "I'm sorry you didn't make it speach." (he was running for a different office) That freaked me out. I started into a panic. What do I say? But we made it through. It hasn't sank in yet that we could lose. I have a calm feeling that whatever happens it's going to be ok. But I am sure that as I am sitting there tonight at City Hall with everyone waiting and waiting. I will be a reck. Matt say's all I need to say is you did you best. We'll get it next time. (he's already planning the next campaign.) And than he wants a hug. After that I know from experience to let him have his space.
Please pray for us today. Keep us in your thoughts. It's not like we are praying to win a baseball game. We are praying to do what's right for our family. Thank you to everyone that has supported us in this adventure and helped out in anyway. We do apprieciate all of you.
VOTE FOR MATTHEW HARRIS!!!
