Yesterday, history was made in the US. Barack Obama defeated John McCain to be the first African-American President-Elect of the United States.
Now, I don't know if it's my pregnancy hormones or what, but I'm SUPER emotional over this.
This man has inspired so many. You hear so many things about great speakers of the past: Lincoln, Kennedy, King, and though I've read their speeches and seen movies, I didn't feel the EMOTION that people that LIVED during those times felt. I can imagine how those people felt when I was watching Barack Obama make this speech.
Yes, that's right. Today IS Election Day, so Nicholas and I partook in the tradition and went and voted after he finished his breakfast.
It wasn't just Election Day to us, though. We got a new MiniVan! Well, it's 'new' to us but it's actually a used van. It's a 2006 Chrysler T&C Limited, and it's SUPER nice. Nicer than any car I've had recently! It even has a built in entertainment system and navigation system!
I'll post pics tomorrow! Gotta get Nicholas off to bed before we sit our bums in front of the TV and watch the Election Coverage.
*This morning, I am going to step over the laundry, and pick you up and take you to the park to play.
*I will leave the dishes in the sink, and let you teach me how to put that puzzle of yours together.
*I will laugh when I feel like crying and take a deep breath when the day and all the worries of the future feel too overwhelming.
*I will smile every time your beautiful eyes look into mine, and every time you speak I will listen attentively, for your voice is music to my ears.
*This afternoon, I will unplug the telephone and keep the computer off, and sit with you in the backyard and blow bubbles.
*I will jump in puddles with you and make mud pies until we are both covered in our creations.
*I will not raise my voice or grumble under my breath as I try to focus your attention on the task at hand or call your name for the second time.
*I will not worry about what you are going to do when you grow up, or second-guess every decision I have made where you are concerned.
*This evening, I will let you stay up late while we sit on the porch and count all the stars.
*We will have a water fight at bath time until my clothes are completely soaked and our laughter is deafening.
*I will hold you in my arms and tell you the story about how you were born and how much I loved you from the very beginning.
*As I run my fingers through your hair, I will simply be grateful that God has given me the greatest gift ever given, and I will tell you over and over how much I love you.
*I will think about the mothers and fathers who are searching for their missing children, the mothers and fathers who are visiting their child's grave instead of their bedroom, and mothers and fathers who are in hospital rooms watching their children suffer senselessly, and screaming inside that they can't handle it anymore.
*And when I kiss you good night, I will hold you a little tighter, a little longer. I will thank God for you, and ask Him for nothing, except one more day..............
