Stephanie: Today I am very grateful for the country I live in.
As a woman, I can't believe how lucky am I to be able vote and have a
say in what I want my country to be. I'm glad that I can get any job I
want, not one the government told me I have to have. I love that I
can marry whoever I want, whenever I want. I love that I can own
anything I want, say anything I want, practice any religion I want, and
go to school anywhere I want for whatever degree I choose. I've had
enough of people's complaints about how tonight's events went. I don't
agree with most of what Mr. President does or wants to do, but he is the
president of my country. I will do my best to stay positive for
the next four years; there's enough negativity in the United States
right now. I get to call this beautiful place home, I am so wonderfully
blessed.
Nathan: Tonight I am that person Steph
is describing above; I am terribly upset about tonight, but this is a
Giving Thanks post and I shall honor my wife's wishes. The one thing
that I can honestly be thankful for is my Father. Leland Richard Whipple
is the greatest man that I have ever known and I owe him so much for
the things he has taught me. He taught me how to work hard and how to be
a man. He was an example of how a man should treat the woman he loves,
and that nothing worth having in life comes easy. I'm not the type that
sits and waits for things to come to me, or fall in my lap. I can
definitely credit that to the way I was raised. I love you Dad very
much.
Thank you both for realigning our priorities today. We love you both and are very thankful for the type of people that you have become. We had great material to work with. Love you both!!
