Ok, So I am sitting here looking at the election returns. Only I am also tracking them using the online tools on both CNN and MSNBC! This is such an exciting day, I feel so fortunate to be apart of it!

You know, my mom and I spent a lot of time on the phone last night, most of it was me calling her to repeat what she just heard on the same news program I was watching. But it was a mixed moment for us. Remembering the history we have come through and celebrating how far we have come.
His speech moved me to tears, especially his primary message of inclusion. Before an incredibly diverse crowd of thousands he encouraged us to stop the labeling and celebrate ourselves as Americans...all of us as Americans. Because no one deserves that title more than anyone else. We are a family and it is time started acting like one...well a functioning one at least. I love you all.

I have my fingers crossed, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to go to bed and just see how the night went when I get up. :)
I managed to knit until it was called for Obama. I am just overcome. It is so wonderful watching the shots from around the country.
I can't stop crying. It is the most incredible moment of my life. God Bless America!
Blessed Day !!!
I'm not American, so don't usually pay much attention to elections. This one how ever got my attention, and I even found myself listening to his speeches! He speaks and you have to listen, he comes across as a knowledgable leader and someone that can really make a difference. I pray for his family to be safe as he does his duty. He has a long road ahead of him, and I really feel if given the chance, he can undo the damage done by the last president and accomplish what he couldn't.
