Could it be?

As I arrived home from yoga Tuesday night around 9pm the Republican convention was on the family room TV. My mom was sitting on the couch watching Ann Romney talk about all the wonderful things her husband has to offer this country and all the great things he'll do as president....BLAH BLAH BLAH. My mom and I both listening and watching intently as she proudly preached for her husband, yet at the end of the day we both agreed that Ann Romney is no Michelle Obama, nor could she ever come close. Soon after Ann Romney finished speaking we got a phone call from a very close family friend…who lives on the Sunshine Coast of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. She too had just finished watching the same speech we had and expressed her concerns for our family as well as our country if Romney were to win this upcoming election. She can’t be the only one worried about what might come of our country if Romney were to be voted in to office…right? I know my dad has expressed his worry and concern plenty and more recently we sat down and had a serious conversation about a variety of things. The election was somehow brought up and the mood suddenly changed. He looked at me and said, “If Romney wins this election Kate, moving to Canada would become more than just an idea. I would seriously consider moving this family.” Would it really be that scary? That serious that we would be better off in Canada?
