Many people will look back on today, and be able to remember exactly where they were and what they were doing when our first African American President was sworn into office. I was lucky enough to share the moment with my 23 4th graders, who were actually enthralled with the entire process. I think the most moving moment throughout the whole day was when, at one point during the ceremony, they said a prayer. Every single one of my 23 students bowed their heads, closed their little eyes and folded their hands. It was precious.
To Barack Obama and his family, and the cabinet he has chosen, may God bless you and help you make decisions that will affect the people of this country. I pray that our new President can bring my husband safely home. It will be interesting to see what this new administration has in store for our country. Either way, it has to be better than the last eight years....
On a side note, in exactly 6 months I will be running over people in the airport to see my husband when he takes his leave!

I think Courtney should put a picture of Obama in her classroom so when kids misbehave then she can say "What would Obama think about the way you're acting?".
On another side note. I really think that American Idol should screen for mentally handicap contestants. Some of those people had some serious issues.
The most moving moment for me was when Aretha Franklin decided to dress up and decorate herself with a bow. Let me know when your students wear one of those hats to class one day.
HAHAHA....Yes they are definitely special people on that show. Where do they find them, and who lets these people think they are good enough to try out? Either way, it keeps me entertained!
