Thank you.
Thank you, Barack Obama, for moving the world today. It was amazing to watch. There is a renewed belief in the people today. I am proud to be an American.
I'm a yankee turned Texan. A lover of fashion, pretty little things, ellipses, the word "egregious," the ocean, dogs, sarcasm, hot weather, creativity, granola and spending my days with my new husband and my middle-age dogs in happy Austin, Texas
