Colorado is blue.

The president is black.

My hair is red (well, red and black. And new glasses, too!).



I'm excited about the future in a way I haven't been in a long time. Last night was the first election night where I was crying happy tears instead of bitter ones, drinking to celebrate instead of to forget, and feeling like America was a country I could be proud to be a part of.

I know there's a lot of hard work ahead... but right now I'm going to just be happy and try not to gloat too hard around my conservative coworkers. America picked this one, American made this choice, and I'm finally excited (rather than terrified) to see what our country is going to do next.
