obama update

so, can't write too much now, but elizabeth is being pushy ;)

it was a great event. they used this video right before obama came out on the stage:


so that when he did come out, my eyes definitely started to water. not full on weeping, just very wet. we were so close to the stage and where he came out. you ever feel like the world has gone to hell and there's no hope? well, i didn't realize i had that angry monkey on my back till i saw him in person and got some hope. he's real! and he's for real. it felt like one of the more important moments in my life.

i'll definitely write more, and post pictures later this week. one of the highlights was hearing earl blumenour (the congressman from oregon who always wears a bow tie) say "President Barack Obama". it was the first time i heard that phrase, and it was magical. it won't be the last time i hear it.

YES WE CAN!
