Obama.

So, as everyone already knows, Obama is now our new president.

I have been really getting into this election.

In my PIG class (participation in government) my teacher has been making us watch elections & we have spent more then enough time talking & sharing our opinions on the subject. After watching many elections I decided I really, really like Obama. I think he is a great man & will do our country good. Now this doesn't mean I dont't think McCain is a good man either. He is, but he seems to be following in Bush's foot steps alot, & i'm not too fond of Bush.

I am very proud of Obama, & i think hes going to make a fantastic president for us.

I am also really proud of all the Americans out there who voted for him. 60% of the people who voted for Obama were white, this means alot to me. This shows that this election was not judged so much on race, that people chose our president because of the person he is, not his color.

Our country has come a LONG way from where it was. 50 years ago or so, blacks couldn't even vote, & now we have a black president running the entire United States. it's amazing.

im back!

I haven't been on in a very long time.
I have been really busy with school, homework, & Anthony.
I am out of school today, as I was thursday & friday. This mini vacation has been very relaxing & enjoyable!
We went to an apple festival thing the other day with my dad & step mom. it was alright, but not as I expected. you have to pay a fortune for everything there, plus pay 8 bucks a person to get in. However, I did get some really good pictures of Anthony playing in the pumpkin patch, & a picture done by a professional photographer that was doing pictures there. I'm also very pleased with the way that turned out.
I will put the pictures on here as soon as I get home to upload them on the computer!
Also before I forget I wanna give a BIG THANKS to Scrappy Jessie for all the wonderful wizard of oz goodies. I loved them all so much.
I hope you enjoy the stuff we mailed out to you Jessie!
So I have been staying at Jakes since a few days before we left for Chicago & Kansas. so its been about 2 months. I have been enjoying my time with Jake & Anthony, & enjoying the quiet house, & the help with Anthony from Jake while trying to do my homework, but I also miss my mom, earl & the kids very much. THATS RIGHT EARL, I SAID IT!!!
Once Jake gets a job I will probably be living back at home.(well maybe, seeing as were moving about 2 blocks or less from Jakes house) I am looking forward to seeing everyone again, I'm just very worried about getting too stressed out there while trying to watch anthony & do homework.
I bet momma will help me out though! :)
School has been going good. I got all A's & B's & one low D in math, however my math teacher put on the progress report that I'm a very hard working student & seek help when needed.
1/2 a semester done, now 3 & 1/2 left to go!
Me & Jake are throwing a halloween party here at his house on October 24th & i'm very excited for it. So far we have 50 people who we invited, which doesnt seem like much, but Jakes house is a one story home, not very big!
It will be a good time though. Jake has been picking up all this scary halloween stuff, while I'm begging for the cute stuff! So we compromised & decided he can get all the scary decorations, as long as I can make some cute little cupckaes & goodie bags for the kids. I have already bought all the treats for the goodie bags, & made them! Can't tell I'm excited much, huh??
Also, Momma I'm so glad your feeling better!! :)
