Congratulations President Obama, Party On America!

We sat in the quiet of our little front room, watching America celebrate the inauguration of President Obama, the 44th President of the U.S. and the first person of color to hold such position. Nephew Matt Schneider joined us as we watched CNN, our only news channel in English. We hardly began to get that "comm-unity" that Americans felt that day. It is a sad thing to be so far away from the action and experience. But the main thing is that we witnessed the making of one of America's most significant moments in history, with our children. We hope and pray for the best for our new president and our country. I am proud to be an American. I am proud of the millions of people all over the country who united in spirit and hope. It's bigger than life. May it be the medicine we all need to heal and get stronger. Go Obama!
