Vote

Emma and Libby,

2008, A Historical Election

I voted. You both were with me. We all got stickers! It was an exciting day. Our country was preparing for a big first, either an african-american president, or a female vice president. Emma, you were four and you wanted Barack Obama to win because his name was fun to say. When I showed you a picture of Obama and John McCain side by side you still picked Obama because you liked his blue shirt. You repeated 'Barack Obama' over and over again for days. I guess it was realllly fun to say. Barack Obama did win, and his party (the democrats) won majority in the house and the senate, so now we wait. Nervously. We wait for the change.
