Feeling totally inspired!

I know this is a little late, but updating and changing our website is taking longer then I suspected. But well worth the time, I am really happy with how its coming along.

I have been incredibly inspired and filled with feelings of hope and optimism. I watched Tuesday from the moment we woke up, it was incredible to see History being made before my very eyes. I know that every inauguration is history, but this day was obviously a more historic and groundbreaking day.

I was taking photos of the TV, clapping and woo-hooing out loud. As if I was there on the lawn with the millions of other American Citizens welcoming change. My son was standing next to the TV while I took pictures, and while he was being sworn in, mix-up and all, he was High Fiving his right hand as Barack held it up.

Now, I know that he was not handed a magic wand during the swearing in or that things will change over night. But they will change, I am sure of it. His ideas are fresh, he expects and demands responsability from the citizens of this great country and most of all he is willing to go agaisnt the grain and do things differently then how they may have been done for the last couple of hundred years.

I was filled with emotion thinking about how it wasnt that long ago that this country was segregated, my mother has told me of stories when she went on trips to Virginia and the bathrooms were labeled "Blacks" and "Whites". It is very hard for me to understand that fully, or understand the pain that may have caused those African-Amercians today that lived through that. It is sad to think that it wasnt all that long ago a black man couldnt even use the same bathroom as a white man, but AMAZING to think that the walls have been broken down so much that he can become president.

How inspring and wonderful, that the first President that my 2 1/2yr old son saw inagurated was the Frist African-Amercian President. I am excited and anxous to see what the future holds. I am ready and need change! Good Luck Obama!
