Historic Occasion

A picture with Ty in front of Obama's acceptance speech
Lisa and I grinning after the results!
Angela and Lisa couldn't contain their happiness!
Aunt Sara with Ty down in the hotel lobby-there were a ton of people there!

Ty got to party down at the Wyndham hotel in Phoenix with all of the Obama supporters. We had a fun night hanging out in the hotel room with Sara and Dick, Ryan and Bethany, Lisa and Angela who drove down from Taylor for the fun!
I love the story of how my dad woke up Dessie and Morgan when they were small children so they could see the man landing on the moon. I wanted the same for Ty. I wanted him to see the first time our country elected our first African American President! Even though all night long he kept saying, "I want McCain to win!" He had a blast in the hotel and we will let him be a conservative Republican if that is what he wants!
It was a historic event for our country!

It is good to know that we have relatives think the same as us. We are pretty excited when Obama got elected and I cried during his speech. Well! It is good to see your family is doing good.
