I love my country, and I’m so proud of it I could bust. I waited in a long line today to vote. And I cast my vote for the first African American major party candidate, someone I hope will be our next president (I still can’t let myself believe it).

I can’t believe I had the opportunity to vote for our first black president. I know the hard work starts tomorrow, but just for today I am happier than a lobster in a pile of rotten halibut. It’s a cliche to say it, but this really could only happen in America, and being even a small part of this process is very cool.
