"Barack Obama has won!
The good news is that a Black man has won the Presidency, the bad news is that in many ways he supports many issues contrary to mine.
As I often tell my kids, no person is all bad. At this point, it doesn't matter what his actions and his voting record has been in the past, it now matters what he will do in the future.
Time will be the true indicator to what this man will do and represent.
Tomorrow is a new day!
No matter which candidate is in the White House our responsibilities will not change much. We still need to pray for our leaders and work at making our country better.
At the end of the day we will all be left with the task of living in this world and doing the best we can with it.
There is one thing that I am quite happy about and that is my kids know a little more about this election than I ever did at their age. I am pleased at their interest and their level of understanding. In addition, individual values set aside, this election is so important, for reasons far bigger than who wins or loses. My kids are having their very first real exposure to a presidential election and they are seeing a black man and a woman V.P candidate on the ticket.
In their world, this will ALWAYS have been possible."
When there was a picture of Obama on T.V. I pointed him out to Zac and it didn't even cross his mind that he is black, and that it was a big deal. I think that is a HUGE step, who-da-thunked-it even 10 years ago!?!

THIS IS MY DAY...
What a wonderful day. First we woke up to a beautiful blanket of white snow on the ground, how appropriate for a day that Zac would be wearing all white to be baptised, and his little sweet cousin Annalyn be blessed in all white.
I can not express enuf how grateful I am for all the wonderful love and support we had from so many people. The ward was truly amazing to have everything perfect. We had SO many wonderful family come to be there on the special day. There was over 75 people there to support Zac and Annalyn.
Before Zac went to be baptised, I had him stand up and look around the room, I told him to look around at all the people that were there, to know they are all so proud of the choice he made to be baptised and they all love him very much.
Zac asked Uncle Scott to give a talk on the girt of the Holy ghost. He did wonderful and it really meant a lot to Zac. Then Zac and LOTS of his little cousins and some friends from the ward sang I am a Child of God. It was perfect.
I felt the spirit so Strong, I know Zac made the right decision. I know my mom was there on that special day, and I know many people felt her there, and I'm grateful for that.
After the baptism I asked Zac how he felt, I just loved his answer! With the biggest smile ever he said... " I feel really really good mom It's like I feel bigger, like lots bigger, and my heart wont stop beatin' really fast and hard," all I could do is tell him to take in that feeling and don't ever forget it, that it's the Lord telling him how proud he is of him. And I pray he will never forget that amazing feeling.
I know I am writing a TUN... but I just have one more thing.
After the Baptism and Blessing, we had everyone come to have sandwiches. It was also wonderful. It was so nice having all the Nelsons and Briscoes and Mayfields and Steadmans there. The kids all had so much fun, and everyone I think really enjoyed themselves visiting... the only thing that would have made the day better was to have the Phippins here, we really missed them that day.
Thanks everyone so much for all the love and support.
