Politics aside, today is truly a happy day for us. We are thrilled about what today represents to us, to minorities, to Americans, and most importantly, our precious little son. We feel truly blessed to live in a nation that collectively said: "We aren't concerned with the color of your skin - we want you to lead us". We weren't sure we would see this day in our lifetimes.How lucky we are to live in this land, at this time! It is a miracle and a blessing that we were even allowed to adopt Carter, as little as 20-30 years ago, the laws of most states did not allow it. But fortunately, we as a people have progressed. Of course, we aren't where we want to be, individuals aren't perfect and we are still flawed. But collectively, as a nation today offers so much hope to the hopeless. We will always be able to point back to this time as a time of inspiration and hope. Whenever Carter may feel like the world seems to be a little harder for him (anyone who thinks it won't be, offense intended - you don't know what you're talking about), but when times get rough for him, how blessed to have today to look to. Today says that a person, with different color skin can rise up, can become all that he/she dreams. What a great day - God bless America!

It is a great day and a great time to be alive! Many thought this day would never come. Does it mean I am getting old if I become part of history and can tell my Grandchildren about this?
Makes me even more proud that I voted for him.
Hi Kristin, I found your blog. Your little boy is so cute. I loved him getting his haircut and building him a room. Where will you guys end up after Law school?
Talk to you soon
