Where were you during that huge, monumental day of change yesterday? I was at work, and luckily I got to see the Inaugural Speech that PRESIDENT OBAMA made at high noon- along with all of interested coworkers of the government who actually had to work (yes, us little contractors and civvies of Ft. Detrick). We made our way to the conference room to watch, and I thought about my friends, braving the cold weather and crowds to be a part of it all. A little of me was kicking myself in the ass for not being brave enough to ask for a ticket, because it DID mean that much to me that he is our new president. Well, that and because, there will be NO next time. There will never be another moment like this...
His speech made me tear. I turned to one of my coworkers, and she was full-on sobbing. I looked around the conference room, and people were just mesmerized. I can only imagine what it would have been like to be there. After the speech, we cheered with the rest of the country...and then it was back to work with a buzz in the air. Where were you?

two hundred yards away with numb toes and frozen tears, baby. i will never forget it.
I watched online at the studio .. trying to hold back the tears as best i could but failing miserably. I've wanted this so badly and didn't think it could or would happen. I think I'm still trying to get my head completely around it .. so words cannot express how I feel ..
