VIDEO: BARACK MAKES HISTORY

I sat last night with my husband, to watch Barack Obama make history. It was quite exciting to be a part of it. Something I'm definitely looking forward to telling my kids about. To know that grandmother lived in the times of segregation and for her to be still alive and see this all unfold is so amazing to me. In case you missed it, here's the video of Obama's Acceptance speech. Next week will be the Republican Convention. SO make sure to stay tuned. If you haven't registered to vote, please do so!
