Hell yeah! And that’s about as eloquent as I’m going to get. Change is coming!
What a whirlwind this past week has been. It started on Tuesday when Matt and I were lucky enough to stand about 20 feet away from the stage at the Obama rally in Grant Park. When President-elect Obama walked onto that stage chills ran up and down by body. I was jumping so high and screaming so loud that I ended the night with extreme leg cramps, no voice, and a blood sugar of 50 (anticipating this I was well prepared with an endless supply of Smarties) . But man, was it worth it. Michelle Obama is the epitome of style and grace. Her love and devotion to her husband is so real, and so normal. It was spectacular to witness them embrace. I wanted nothing more than to be part of their little hug. And those girls! Don’t we all wish we could explore the nooks and crannies of the White House right along with them?!
Many of us have been fighting for federal support and funding of embryonic stem cell research for many years. By declaring his intention to reverse Bush’s policies, Obama is making a bold statement about the power of science and technology. We are about to embark on a new era-- one that will hopefully include a cure for Type 1 diabetes…
