A New President Elected

I went to bed last night before the election was final (which is a side note in itself in regards to how much sleep I've been needing!) and so I didn't find out who won until this morning. Barack Obama! Whether you like him or not, it's incredible to be alive during this time and as history is happening. Although hopefully someday, it will not be a matter of race or gender, but just that a new president is elected. I'm excited to see what changes will take place over the next four years. Michael and I voted (and got our fancy stickers) yesterday morning. It was the first time either of us have voted in the polls. Last time we were in Afghanistan and filled out an absentee ballot. I didn't vote the time before that (and Michael wasn't old enough :) ). I was very excited! I had to have the guy tell me how to work the fancy machine but I didn't care. I pushed my buttons and just like that, I took part in one of American citizen's greatest rights, voting.
