What an amazing day! What a victory and huge step forward for our country. I stayed up until 5:30 this morning eating popcorn and chocolate cake watching the night unfold. When they finally called it, I wept in relief and joy at the announcement of our 44th president who promises to bridge many of the social and economic gaps in our country and who has given us immense hope for the future. The whole world was watching America's every move last night and now the world will be forever changed.
For the first time in a long time I actually feel proud to be American. I feel so very proud.
Thanks to all who campaigned and counted votes and spread the word. Even though I'm in Belfast, I still feel a part of the larger community of Americans, and it's so exciting to see how pleased the rest of the world is as well. We've made a great decision and I hope we're ready to work and do what needs to be done to move forward.
Go OBAMA!

Hey Sarah!
Ireland sounds absolutely amazing.
I must admit, I miss you terribly!
It was only 11:00pm here when they finally called victory for Obama. But I think we already knew by 9:30 that he was going to be the 44th President. We cracked open a bottle of cheap champagne to celebrate.
By the way, beer just hasn't tasted the same since you left!
e-mail me soon!
