Inaugaration

History was made today, and fortunately I had my wits about me enough to remember to turn the computer on. Andrew, Amelia, and I watched the whole thing. They loved it. I loved it. I was crying and clapping enough that I think I was making Amelia worried. The feeling of pride I had for the American people was overwhelming. We have come so far. It was thrilling to see this, and to hear so many address it. I loved Obama's speech. Frank and hopeful and inspiring. I am not crazy about every single thing he stands for, but for a lot of them, and just amazed that a black man can be voted in by the majority in this country.

I was so pleased to find out that Jacob was able to watch it at school as well. It's late. I have a lot of thoughts, but I'll keep it short tonight.

I am so proud to be an American and I resolve to do more to make this a great place to live.
