On the day of the Inauguration I was teaching a class and was not able to watch all of it. I feel bad that today was the first time I had a chance to sit down and watch the whole thing. As Olivia and I watched she jumped up and down in my arms with lots of energy. Every now and then she paused to just sit and watch Obama give his speech. Does she understand what is going on, probably not, but one day she will. She will get to grow up in a country when for the first time we as Americans know that our children really can grow up to become whatever they choose. I am honored and greatful to be able to witness this great time in history. I am thankful for the changes I have been able to witness. I am filled with emotion as I listen to Obamas speech. I am filled with hope for our country and our future. As a social worker I fight for equality and justice for all. I have a renewed sense of patriotism and I am proud to be an American!

Christmas!!
We had a great Christmas. I think I was more excited that Olivia and Darrick. Olivia just wanted to eat the paper and I think Darrick just wanted to go back to bed. It was great to be with families on both sides. We thought about all of our friends and loved ones. We hope you had happy holidays. The day after Christmas Olivia got sick with Croup. She was sick the whole week and is still getting over it. The break went by so fast, but I am excited to get back in school. I love working at the Child and family support center. I am learning so much to help my clients. I love school but can't wait to graduate in 3 semesters. Darrick is doing great at work and is continually getting praise from the managers on his performance. Olivia is learning new things everyday. She thinks its fun to blow her cereal all over Mommy. She sqeals really loud and loves to laugh and smile except when she is at anyone elses house or when someone else is holding her. She is learning to grab her feet and thinks toes are so funny. She is very tickilish and loves to play. Her new best friend is Daddy. She can't get enough of him. She is slowly warming up to everyone else. All is good for us and we can't complain. We have been so blessed and hope the same for you all.
I'm soo smart!

Yes that is right I got a 4.0 last semester. I don't know how I did it but I did. With all the crying and sleepless nights some how I still was able to do good in school. Either that or my school needs to rethink their curriculum. Lets hope I can keep it up this semester.
