Landslide

Last night was truly an amazing night. It was so incredible to watch history unfolding, to hope and pray for something and then actually have it happen. For our jaded and ironic generation, this was a clear moment of patriotism and faith.

Because I felt like I couldn't be alone with the election returns, I invited a few friends over to share in my joy/pain/stress. We finished off the White Trash beer and ordered pizza and yelled at the television set as we watched the results start to trickle in.


Melanie was thoughtful enough to bring Electoral College maps that we could color in-- here she adds some Blue States to her map:


Democracy, Sara-style:


OBAMA! (L-R: Amanda, Carrie, Lindsay, Kelley, AJ, Melanie)


When the final results came in, we took to the streets with sparklers.


Deb was on Broad Street, where people filled the street again for a spontaneous parade/celebration. The energy in this city was amazing.

Yes we did!

Now let's get down to business.
