OMG! I cried...didn't you?!

Okay, so like, how excited are you right now? Its the day after the presidential election and so much history has been made that it makes our future all the more promising. I stayed up after hearing all the projections and predictions to wait until the final vote count. I heard Senator John McCain's concession speech. I watched the people in Grant Park in Chicago as they waited with baited breath, as I did, for our nations 44th president-elect to take the stage. I wanted to roar with them when his name was announced before he hit the stage, but my family was asleep.


President-Elect Barack, daughters Malia and Sasha, and wife Michelle Obama hit the stage at the end of election night.


Instead, I cried like a baby. It was so overwhelming. It was all a culmination of the last year with all the campaigning, voter registration drives, and urgings for voter turn out.

President-Elect Barack Obama seemed pleased, but tired. It seemed he needed to breath a sigh of relief, but witheld it only because his work is just beginning. I simply pray that God blesses him, gives him strength, guidance, and insight on how to lead this nation. And just as important, I want him to go home and rest until his inauguration in January! Let's have a fresh start all around.
