History has been made.

As I watch the speech given by Barack Obama, as he accepted his win as the next President of the United States. I was thinking of what I would blog. All the words that were coming to mind.

And now as I sit here at my computer, 11:28 pm, on November 4th 2008. I am speechless.

How to put how proud I am. How grateful I am. And how in love I am with a new President. When I saw on T.V. that it was official, that Senator Barack Obama was now our President, an eight year weight had been lifted off my shoulders.

I am elated that we have such a willing and amazing man to be our President. The fact that his speech was not just all giddiness, but a stern look at the future, and what we need too do. For addressing those who did not vote for him, and reminding them he hears them, and is there President too.

I had tears in my eyes when I heard the news, I got choked up watching the people in Grant Park cry as they were getting interviewed. I am beyond words on the fact that we have broken down yet another barrier. And we have our very first African American President.

He is for us. But for me. And you.

I was also distraught when I heard the news of his Gramother passing just yesterday. I am sure she had a great seat where she was. I loved the fact that he addressed his wife so wonderfully, and that the girls will get there puppy when they move to Washington.

I love to see him and Michelle, the looks, the smiles, the girls. It's a family, but not just any family, a family that has a bond, that you can just see in there looks. Maybe you think I am a little high off of this election. But I really love that family.

I look forward to learning about Joe Biden and his family, I can't wait to see what happens in the months, and years ahead.

When Obama said, that there was a 106 year old woman that voted. And that she had seen this country and this world of ours go through so much in 106 years. Now if our children, if they can see 106 years of life. What changes will they see?

I can only hope the best for our country. I am a proud American. Congratulations Barack Obama.
