Inauguration

I had all these great plans to watch history in the making and then blog about it. Well, my cable went out a few minutes before it started and didn't come back on until this afternoon. I have to say, I am a bit bummed. I am proud that the kids were able to watch it at school. Even my youngest watched in her kindergarten class. Here are some VERY random thoughts about it:



-Michelle Obama's dress was just ok...I was expecting more out of her.

-I feel SO sad for Ted Kennedy. It's bad enough to have a seizure, but then to have it on a national stage at lunch. And poor Sen. Byrd. It just kept getting worse (so I hear!)

-The crowd booing Bush...that's just WRONG!

-Bush handled the transition so beautifully and respectfully. What a way to go out!

-Bush looked 10 years younger when he landed in Midland. No matter what you think of his politics, he is a genuinely nice guy and I wish him the best!

-I wonder how long the honeymoon will last for Obama???



Would love to hear your thoughts on it...no matter how random they may be. Did I miss anything good? Did you pick up on anything random? How was the speech? How did the little girls look? Thoughts?

Whether we think he is the best man for the job or not, he is in God's hands and we are to pray for him.
