2008 turned out to be a truly amazing year. Although it got off to a slow start, it didn’t take things that long to pick up and start moving in the right direction. In addition to all of the great things that happened in my personal life, there is another event that took place in 2008 that made me a really happy person. The event that I’m talking about (as you may have guessed) was Barack Obama getting elected as the President of the United States.
Even though I’m not going to be in Washington DC when he is sworn in as President, I am going to be there quite soon to celebrate the holidays. I have several family members who live in Washington DC, so that is where the rest of the family gathers each year for Christmas. Everyone in my family supported Obama and his quest to become the next President, so I know that when we all get together for Christmas, everyone is going to be in even higher spirits than usual as we get to talk about all of the great things that are going to happen in our country over the next four years!
