On November 4th, 2008 Barack Obama was elected the 44th President of the United States!!!
Cyanne stayed up to watch some of the returns come in... She would look at the tv, look at us... We watched Pennsylvania go for Obama. Some of the the southern states stayed red for McCain. It was so exciting and such an incredible feeling to know that we were witnessing history in the making.
Eventually, she decided she needed to take a bath and go to sleep... So, we paused the returns, gave her a bath, and put her to sleep telling her it was going to be a big night.
An incredible night with such a range of emotions: anxiety, excitement, nervousness, elation, joy, respect, amazement, hope.
I am so proud of the people who voted and for the people who helped to get out the vote.
And very happy that the outcome is as it was.
We are entering a new era and we are incredibly happy that Obama is the man a huge number of citizens overwhelmingly chose to lead the country.
