Oh Yes We Did


what an amazing and emotional day november 4th was. i was up at 3:30 am to be a poll worker and went to bed at about 1 am. it was a long day. i wasn't sure i was allowed to record in the polling place, so i didn't get as much footage as i wanted, but hey, we won!

Yes you did!!!
My kids saw me crying for the first time in their life. I had to explain to them that sometimes peoplpe cry when they are really, really happy.

I'm still such an emotional trainwreck! I cried when he won. I cry when I *think* about him winning. Now I cry every single time I see a video of that moment...even three days later!

NO IDEA when (if) I'll ever stop.

Lea and I bawled. Such tears of happiness and relief. I don't think I've ever been so happy. As I've said elsewhere, I think I finally understand how my parents felt when Kennedy was elected.

I'm sure you did a great job as a poll worker on Election Day. When Obama won the Election I was in the bathroom. I don't remember what I was doing, but my roommate had the TV on and I was like WTF. I missed the moment when Obama was projected to win the election. :(

All the same, me and some guys on campus had a little march around the Atlanta University Center to commemorate Obama's win. Fun and exciting night.

I think I'll forward this video to someone.
