My DSL nightmare is over and I promise to have some new posts up by Wednesday.
The title of this post just says it all, doesn't it?
I can't even put into words the emotion I am feeling. As soon as Barack Obama was announced as the 44th President, I jumped up and screamed. I cried. I called my mom, called my closest friends, sent text messages, and thanked God for answering prayers. I cried so much that I gave myself a headache.
I awoke this morning with a mix of emotions, I was happy, hopeful, excited, and ready to vote. I arrived at my polling location at 7:30a.m. and yes there was a long line. As luck would have it I was in line behind a family of four (mom, dad, and two very busy little children). The dad was proudly wearing a cool Obama '08 tee shirt and mom was prepared with a bag of healthy snacks and small toys for the little ones.
