On this day in 2009...

I've been toiling with the idea of starting a blog for a little while now, thanks Annie, and I've finally succumb to my temptations. Even though my life may not be interesting to anyone except the wide eyed children I have the privilege of waking up to every morning and tucking in every night, I thought that today of all days would be so fitting to start a compilation of my thoughts. So to those who would like to tour my brain...continue on!!! I'm watching live while on a grassy knoll thousands of miles from here history is being made, whether I like it or agree with it or not. For better or worse our nation will forever see change. I, like many others have so many reservations about the upcoming years we are facing and as I watch the former president gracefully float off into the distance I want to bid him farewell and thanks. Even though Mr. Bush led my beloved into a warzone, where he was nearly taken from us, I salute him for having the courage to do just that and to continue to hold his head up when a great deal of America turned their backs on this decision they may have once supported.

And so it's done...it's official. The required documents are signed and we are now in the hands of someone who's decisions I probably will not trust. Still....I'm thankful for being alive during this historic moment and will continue to count my blessings because no matter who the president is this country will perservere and I will always be apart of it, even if in the tiniest form.

God Bless us all...and thank you for all the men and women who's lives we take for granted when we put all our hope into one man.
