Change

Wow, what a week. This week has truly invigorated my belief in the democratic process and in America. It has been exciting to say the least.


On Tues November 4th, 2008 the entire family went to vote. Sofia and I voted int he morning and Maya and Daddy voted in the evening. Maya was a bit confused, she knew she was going to go vote, but was very disappointed to find out that she would not be seeing Obama . "Where is Obama? " Daddy explained to her, that we had voted for Obama, and that doesn't mean that he is going to appear. That evening as the kids slept, Carlos and I stayed up and witnessed history. Barrack Obama was elected president. Finally an end to the Republican regime and their ridiculous foreign policy.
The days following the election have been exilerating, the country has been aglow and the world now sees the US in a different light. The path that lies ahead for Obama will be difficult to say the least. He has to clean up the mess of a a Bush administration and a republican congress, two wars, an economy in crisis and a nation divided....poor guy, sounds like a tough job.
This has quite significance to our family. After Tuesday night, I realized that anything is possible.... it makes me optimistic for the future, for my daughter's future.
