Houston We Have a President! about time there batman!

So late last night/ early morning is when the states electoral votes started to role in.  I stayed up till 3 am...most states were coming in but my eyes would not stay open as i sat on the couch.  Im sad that I did not stay up the whole time.  But this is something that I will always remember.  It seems that the English are quit pleased with how the election turned out.  
Maybe the US is finally turning a new leaf, and we won't get so many odd looks when you say im an American - let alone that Im from Texas. Im glad to have been part of this moment in history.  One day I plan to look back and tell my children's children.
Also, I am happy that yahoo had Obama's victory speech online still and that I was able to watch it :) I did like his speech.  It was very nice and I especially liked the story of the 106 old woman in Alabama.  You have just wonder how she felt.  Having seen things like the riots of 1960, seeing women and african-americans attain the right to vote, and lastly to finally vote for an african-american man and see him win and hold the highest office in the land.  I wonder how she feels that things can change and that change is possible, but to quote Obama "it might not happen in a year or even in a term" but change is possible.

love love  - hope you have a wonderful day 
p.s. now that the election is over in the states the english are getting ready for Guy Fawlke's Night - ill explain what that is in my next post!!!

love love love X infinity
