Here's hoping his presidency is filled with joy for our country. Not my choice, but now he's my president. God bless him.

(McCain wasn't my choice, either, just to let you know...)

Speaking of flying, I purchased my airline ticket to DC within one hour of CNN calling the election for Mr. Obama....I AM SO THERE!

When we heard on TV that Sen. Obama was the next President my 28 year old son came over to me and gave me the biggest hug... and said "we won." I am still crying with such joy...
