wow!

words escape me. i am so happy, when i think about our country my eyes start tearing up. i had to come home right after school, because i stayed up way too late last night. topher kept telling me everything would be okay, but i was still worried until the final numbers were in. i faintly remember doing the cha cha slide (with topher!) at some point during the night...and now we will have a new president and i have hope for our future, education, our soliders, our relationship with other countries and all of our children.

all of the propositions that i voted for also passed; death with dignity, light rail expansion, preserving pike place market and preserving parks and green space. good stuff!

i am watching oprah right now, weird, i know, but she is having a post election show and it is interesting. i feel like i want to relive last night over and over and over.

oh, happy day!

and us being dog freaks, we are wondering what kind of puppy they are going to get?! topher thought a pug and i'm going for a lab or retriver.

peace be with you! this is my favorite picture from the day:
