The day is here, everyone! The day where the campaign ads finally end as we await the results with bated breath. I’m. So. Happy. It’s. Over.

Hello, Aruba!
We arrived in Aruba yesterday! And I’m taking advantage of the fact that my handsome husband likes to sleep in to write a post about it. 😉 Before we left I was having major, major anxiety.
