Its been no secret on my blog who i've been pulling for, so understandably I was extremely happy last night.
A few of us went to Bare and Tbone's house on capitol hill to watch the numbers come in. Once the night was called we popped some bubbly and began to celebrate. After Barack's great speach we took to the streets. We walked from capitol hill to the white house and on the way picked up celebrators, by the time we were almost at the white house we were walking with a group of around 50 people.
The entire walk every car that passed was honking and cheering and we were cheering back and it was awesome.
At the white house everyone was high fiving, dancing around, playing music, chanting yes we did. At one point a "na na na na hey hey hey goodbye" chant went out to the boys currently in the whitehouse ;) It was such a great feeling to be there in the middle of it all and to be a part of it.
We decided to make the full circle and walk around the back of the white house where the ellipse is, and ALL the lights were out. It was kinda funny.
The whole night Katie and others kept saying "we're going streaking", but once we got to the ellipse and the sprinklers were on and getting us wet some people actually DID go streaking to our encouraging "take it off" cheers.
The two best moments in my life so far?
