I sat frozen on my couch in Arizona watching... wondering if it was a dream. I woke Brian up and we watched the second plane hit and both towers fall. Still don't have words.

January 20, 2009

Yesterday was an amazing day in our history. The boys and I watched as 2 million people gathered in Washington to celebrate the swearing in of our first African-American President...people full of emotion, hope, and excitement.

Sam kept asking "Where is he? Is he on yet? Are we going to go visit him in his big, white house?" Ben ran around yelling "Where's MY Barack Obama?" Of course - only a 2 year old - everthing is "mine"...

We have friends and family that don't always share the same political views... but no matter how you voted in this election, you cannot deny what a powerful moment it was. There are great things in store for America.
