Historical Week

Well I haven't gotten to write since we elected a new President. I've been meaning to, but just haven't sat myself down at the computer long enough to write something about it. I am very happy that I went ahead and voted. I can now say that I am a part of history. When Dave and I were watching Obama elected as President and give his speech, I was still in awe. We knew that he was going to win pretty much a week in advance. I still couldn't believe that we were witnessing history though. It's wonderful to see that the color of someones skin really didn't matter in this election. I think he was the deserving one to win, even though I don't think either one are really prepared for what they are going to have to do as President. I just believe that Obama will be able to do a much better job than McCain. Obama has his hands full as soon as he officially becomes President so only time will tell how he does. It was just a neat experience to see our first black President. What a speech he gave too. If you have been living in a hole this past week, you definitely need to listen to his speech. Very inspiring. What a great moment in America this past Tuesday.

The only other exciting news is I went to one of my old coworker Jennifer's baby shower today. It was in Escondido, about 45 minutes away, so my other friend Jodi and I drove together. I'm so glad we did that because it was great catching up with her on the drive. Since leaving work, I don't get to talk to her as much as I would like. Plus it was raining pretty hard on the highway and I would have been very nervous for her to drive, being that she's pregnant. The shower was really nice. I didn't know any of Jennifer's family or friends, but it was still fun playing games and seeing the adorable clothes she got for her baby girl. I am very proud to say that I stayed away from the food that I'm not supposed to eat on Weight Watchers too. Luckily we left while the cake was being cut cause I probably would have broke down for that. I loved this diaper cake that one of her friends made. Very cute and creative idea.

Jennifer and her diaper cake!

Not much else to say about this week. Penn State ended up losing so we have a better chance of getting to go to the Rose Bowl to watch them. Steelers also lost to Indy so it's a sad day for Pittsburgh fans. Don't want to say anything else about that cause I could go on for paragraphs about that. Next weekend we play San Diego so Dave and I might go to the bar to annoy San Diegans!!! I will weigh in tomorrow and leave a post about the weight lose!! Also, this weekend we are going to Big Bear since I have Friday off. It's Dave's birthday next Tuesday and has been having a tough time at work so he wanted to get away for a weekend. For some odd reason I said yes to going back to snow. That's the cool thing about San Diego though, 3 hours from going somewhere with snow. I could handle that cause I do miss the snow sometimes.
