Yesterday, I took off from field and stayed on the couch all day watching Obama's inauguration. At the risk of sounding horribly cheesy, I have never been so proud to be an American. For the first time since I can remember, I have real hope for this country, both in the international and domestic arenas. To see everyone so fired up about a politician and so involved in the process has been truly amazing. Even people who didn't vote for him and don't necessarily agree with his politics are supportive and hopeful. The world literally feels like a different place than it did when I went to bed on Monday night.
OK, enough cheese.
But don't even get me started on how much I love all the Obamas. Malia and Sasha are just darling and Michelle. . . . oh Michelle. . . Simply put, I want to be her when I grow up.
Finally, my favorite image from yesterday- (Yes, I was taking pictures of my TV. My dad the same thing while watching the Apollo 11 landing and I always thought it was a cool idea.) I happened to catch the perfect frame on CNN:
