Go Barack Obama

History was made last night with the election of the first African-American President in the United States. No matter who you voted for, this was an amazing night and something to go down in the history books. I thought it was very exciting to watch everything unfold before us as the states closed their polls across the country, and the electoral votes were tallied. I hope that everyone who wanted to vote had chance to vote, and show their support for their candidate of choice. For those who did not get a chance to vote, hopefully they will next time around. I feel that it is important for people to let their voice be heard and vote. There will always be something a person does not like about a candidate and their views but hopefully that issue will never come up. And if it does, maybe by showing support of your opinion in the form of a letter would help change the outcome based on what you believe. I am excitedly waiting to see what changes will be made in the coming years. This election year has been amazing and record-breaking all at the same time. I’m sure there will be good things to come from this election in the coming years.

Very nicely said, I am also excited to see what our new president will bring in the coming years. I also look forward to telling Aiden and Dean, that I was part of this day in history and how incredible it was. Obama Baby! (that is my saying).

Here, here! As I cast my ballot on Tuesday and checked off the box for Obama I thought, "Here I am, hopefully becoming part of history." and now I can tell my children that yes, Mommy was actively involved in making history and I will teach them how important it is to vote and have your chance to be heard!
