Yes we can.....

Yesterday was a momentous day in our household for many reasons. First, Diego, after weeks of almost getting there, rolled over, to great cheering from mom and dad. He continually astounds me as he develops. He is so strong for a little guy, you should see him try to stand up. He wants to walk now, rather than later. Everything he does, he does with a smile on his face.

Secondly, our country came out in record numbers and voted for a man who represents change, better relations with the rest of the world, a better future for our planet and our children and who finally personifies all of the minorities who have struggled so long for representation in this great country. For the first time, since I turned 18, I am not disappointed. We proved the pundits wrong, race isn't as big an issue in this day and age as it once was. This country is a melting pot of all kinds. I am proud of how this country voted and came together to elect this great man. Now I just hope that we together with Obama can work to make this country the great nation it once was and I know it can be.
