Favorite Things

Here are some of my all time favorite things:
1. Traveling-I love seeing new places, and I would love to do more of it.

2. Reading-I'm one of the biggest bookworms ever.

3. Writing-I love to write and let my imagination loose!

4. Laughter-when you've grown up in my family, it's impossible NOT to love laughter!

5. Hugs and smiles-the world could use more of them

6. Chocolate is a girls best friend

7. Encouraging words-if everyone could give someone an encouraging word, the world would be a better place

8. Music and the Arts-I've gotten my love of music from my dad (and both my parents got me into Amy Grant, who I saw last night in concert, and it was AMAZING!), and I've been dancing since I was 5 and acting since I was 9.

9. Last and not least, most importantly, my family and friends-they are amazing!

For some reason my first post did not save, so here's the first part of my crazy week that did not save, so here it is:
Wed.: my best friend turned 16

Thursday: I got my driver's license

The rest of my past week

Friday November 7th-my baby cousin was born

Saterday Novemeber 8th-I drove by myself fir the first time, first to CVS to get nail polish remover, then to my best friend's birthday party. Her part was wonderful. We got all dressed up (in girl's cases, we were in our fancy dresses). It was so much fun (we did Karaoke, which was a BLAST!).

Sunday Nov. 9th-go and see my baby cousin

Monday Nov. 10th-day off from school

And now today we are goining to go see Amy Grant live in concert, which will be a blast!

I am really glad Obama won the election. I think he will make an excellent president, even though I disagree with him on some issues like abortion. But I still can do alot of great and amazing things while in office.

Last night while waiting for Obama to do his accpenetce speech, I was thinking of what other people were thinking. Sometimes I look at people on TV or in pictures and can't help but wounder what they are thinking at that moment.

So last night I was wondering this:

If he was still alive, what would Martin Luther King Jr. think of the first African American President?

What's that 109 year old women who was the daughter of a slave, was thinking when she not only voted for the first African American, but got to see him elected?

What was Michelle Obama thinking when her husben won the election?

What's it like for there girls, who have to go to school today, now as the next First Kids in the White House?

What was Obama thinking when he found out he was going to not only be the next president, but the first African American President?
