yesterday - what a day. i was privileged to sit with my coworkers and friends and watch the inauguration of president obama...wow i just wrote that!
there were a lot of emotions surrounding that day and our country's new season. i'm excited that people are hopeful and dusting themselves off. it's a new day. i could feel hope and change. and reality. obama isn't the messiah. we trust God to take care of us and guide us. my friend crocker had a great post about it.
one of my favorite parts of the day was celebrating at don and millie's with friends. ken and i talked about wanting to celebrate with friends. then the conversation got spread to others. and we decided...why not just go to don and millies and celebrate with friends, .99 margaritas, cheese fries and burgers. and that's what we did. i stayed about three hours. and others longer.
fun memories:
- 'cheering' with my drink and finley's drink
- seeing clive and his fun 'my mom loves obama' bib
- hanging with the nehers, hilary, beth, brittany, liz, lora, wendy, marcia, mimi, jessica, kenley, jonathan, brent and e'ryone else! and meeting richard?? is that his name??
- talking about who cried, what they thought about the speech
- remembering the poet who read her poem a little awkwardly
- aretha's bow/hat
- watching the obamas' first dance (that was beautiful, gave me the chills!)
- watching the other celebrating people at another table decide to turn the tv up reaaaaaaaaaaaally loud
- and then talking really loudly
- hanging with friends from different circles
- hearing second-hand about kenley's speech
- laughing
- .99 margaritas
- and being
