YESTERDAY WAS A GOOD DAY
When my two year old woke up this morning, he said, "Let's go vote," I revel in the fact that I got to go with my family and vote yesterday. What an incredible experience for me and my husband to have, to be able to teach our boys the importance of voting.

We are truly blessed to be able to love in a country where we disagree, make decisions based off of our personal beliefs, and then make the changes we feel necessary.
Yes, I can vote. And, you can too.
God bless America.
YESTERDAY WAS A GOOD DAY
With all due respect to President Obama, a leader with whom I do not share many common beliefs, it is wonderful that we have a smart, educated, strong African American Leader to be a role model.
This is a monumental experience in American History.
This is something that thousands have been waiting for since the time of the Civil rights.
Yes, I can stand in awe of the miracle of a free country.
My Country, tis of thee, Sweet Land of Liberty.
YESTERDAY WAS A GOOD DAY
When I listened to President Bush speak this morning, I felt the Spirit testify to me that if President Bush , a man who probably has less in common with President Obama than I do, can be supportive of our Nation's new President Elect
then yes, I can too.
He said, "Last night, I had a warm conversation with President-elect Barack Obama. I congratulated him and Senator Biden on their impressive victory.No matter how they cast their ballots, all Americans can be proud of the history that was made yesterday. Across the country, citizens voted in large numbers. They showed a watching world the vitality of America's democracy, and the strides we have made toward a more perfect union. They chose a President whose journey represents a triumph of the American story -- a testament to hard work, optimism, and faith in the enduring promise of our nation. It will be a stirring sight to watch President Obama, his wife, Michelle, and their beautiful girls step through the doors of the White House. I know millions of Americans will be overcome with pride at this inspiring moment that so many have awaited so long. I know Senator Obama's beloved mother and grandparents would have been thrilled to watch the child they raised ascend the steps of the Capitol -- and take his oath to uphold the Constitution of the greatest nation on the face of the earth.
Yes, I can be supportive.
I can do my best.
I can respect a man
who will uphold the Constitution
of the greatest nation on the face of the earth,
even though he does it differently than I do.

It is looking like Proposition 8 will pass. With 92% of the vote in at 52% for Proposition 8 and 48% against, we may have hope that many Americans, democrat, republican, or any other party, still want marriage to be defined as union between man and woman..
Yes! Yes! Yes!
YESTERDAY WAS A GOOD DAY
today will be a good day too.
and if anyone read yesterday's post....
Thank goodness for Pepto Bismol...
P.S. Apparently, I need to add the disclaimer that yesterday's post was written many hours before the votes were in.

pepto. sometimes you need it.
I've contemplated what to say about your blog and have decided that I won't comment (this doesn't count as a comment).
danb
you crack me up :) I am glad that you are feeling better about it all :)
As with Dan I have also contemplated what to say concerning the last two blogs, concerning President Elect Obama. However, I will comment: I was frustrated today of how much negativity surounded such a momentous event in our country's history. America has shown that it no longer regards race, religion or gender when considering our nation's top office. The constant partisanship that divides our country has bothered me and simply stating that someone has to be Republican or Democrat and therefore must vote for their respective parties platforms is ignorant. I dont agree with everything Obama nor McCain and I dont think I should have to simply because I have the same party designation as one or the other. Obama has had 1 day to make decisions regarding our country's future and I beleive that while we do not need to be excited about his presidency he deserves our support, prayers and patience while he defines his presidency's first steps. I for one am interested and intrigued to see what awaits our nation's future.
I have no idea where my daughter got such strong opinions and the courage to express them... Just kidding. You go sis!!!! As you know, I voted for Sarah (not John) but I do have faith and confidence in President OBAMA and I believe he will be led by God. I am glad he is president. Mooks
