History was made...

I anxiously watched, with the rest of the country, the results as they came pouring in from state to state and felt a little disappointment as it became quite apparent from the beginning that McCain didn't stand a chance. I think I would have felt really disappointed if I would have really liked McCain, but that just didn't happen.



I woke up this morning feeling a little excited. Although I had no part in Obama winning, we as a nation overcame racism and voted the first black president. That is exciting to me. I think it is really neat to have our first black president- I just wish he was republican :). One of the things that I can really respect about Obama is his role as a family man. He looks like a great dad, and knows how important family is. I was touched watching his family on stage after they won.




Now- The proposition 8 is what I have had my eye on all morning and last night. Daniel and I each woke up twice in the middle of the night to check to status, and as far as I can tell right now it is 52% yes with 95% of the precincts reporting. I'm keeping my prayers focused in that direction!
Update: They now have 97% of the precincts reporting and it is still at 52% yes. I just read this news title from San Fransisco online news

I knew this wouldn't be the end of it.... unfortunately this is probably something we will have to battle for a long time.
