Maybe it's because it's three in the morning, but as I'm reading that Barack Obama has been elected president, I can't stop the tears. I can't believe that when I go to wake up JD in the morning I will actually be able to tell him that America is place where we can elect anyone to be president, no matter what color he is. Maybe I really will see the day when I can tell my daughters that a woman can be president and it won't just be hopeful talk.
I've waited my whole life for us to really be the country that I learned about in elementary school, the one where all people are created equal.

I agree Tonia. Although I didn't agree with a lot of what Obama was running for, I can appreciate the fact that history has been made and the race barrier has been broken. Now we need to work on the female president... :)
Hooray!
