~ For Walker & Hadlee ~

Today was a big day in our history.

The first African American was sworn in

as the 44th President of the United States.

Millions of people came to Washington D.C.

to watch this take place.

It was quite amazing!

The former president, George Walker Bush,

congratulated his successor and provided

an incredibly smooth transition for

the new president, Barack Obama.

We bid farewell to President

George W. Bush!

He is a man that I still admire.

I appreciate how he took care of our nation

in its darkest hour after 9/11.

Regardless of things he did in office,

I believe George W. Bush to be

a good and honorable man.

President Bush,

we'll see you out in Crawford

again and we look forward to it...

I'll never forget voting day this year.
I picked up Walker from school and

told him & Haddie that we would be going

to ROCK THE VOTE that day.

From the back seat, I hear Walker say...

"You better vote for Barack Obama."

We had never discussed anything about

the presidential election. AT.ALL.

Suddenly I was driving a little politician

around and he had a running mate.

Haddie Girl immediately picked it up

and hasn't stopped saying

"BROCK OMAMA" ever since!!!

Well, today I joined Walker & Haddie and became a fan of Barack Obama myself! I think he is just what this country needs and I am excited!!!

My prayers are with him and his adorable family as they begin this new journey leading our country!
