Last month Bradley and I went on a date and at the end of it he wanted to go to Wendy's for a frosty. So we went to Wendy's and it was deserted. As we were waiting on our frosties a woman walked in and asked if my car was the one with the Obama sticker on it. I said yes. To my delighted surprise, she was an Obama supporter too. She told me it made her "heart happy" to see it. She has a yard sign but so rarely sees other signs of support for Obama that she was ecstatic to see my sticker.
I get it. I often feel like the lone blue person surrounded by a big red dot on the map.
(Probably because there are very few blue people in my very conservative neighborhood.)
But today, while I was driving to the grocery store after dropping Danielle at preschool, I saw an Obama-Biden sticker on a car. I was so excited! I sang along to the radio a little louder and had a big smile on my face. Went in and did my shopping at HEB and when I came out, the truck parked next to me had an Obama 2012 sticker!!! I am not exagerrating when I say I almost got teary. I have never seen two Obama stickers in the same week, much less the same day.
I have a happy heart today. It's so nice not to feel alone.

I'm sorry - I know it's hard to feel alone. All the more reason to come visit - I do a double take when I see a Romney sticker! :)
Maybe if things go the way we hope you can come out for the inauguration and know you're not alone. :)
