inauguration

There is no denying how excited I am about today's events.  But under it all is an excitement about my country.  I have three amazing kids and one of them is from Africa.  When my parents were their age it was impossible for them to be at the same schools, eat at the same restaurants, shop in the same stores.  There are just so many things that as a mixed race family we take for granted.  It's so strange to think that many of the things we do as a family were impossible such a short time ago.  And today I've been constantly reminded of that truth.  It makes me proud to know that our country and our world has come so far.
