"Dear JD, Last night the first African-American President, Barack Obama was elected into office. He comes from a very special family. He was raised by his mother and his grandparents and once said: &amp;quot;I was more influenced by my father&amp;#x27;s absence, then I was his presence.&amp;quot; My heart is full of hope today, JD...for many reasons. JD, you live in the greatest country in the world--a country where dreams do come true. More after the jump!Uncle Brian came over last night to watch the returns with us. He cooked us an awesome dinner too (He&amp;#x27;s a trained chef, btw--lucky us!): Porter House steaks, fresh pasta and broccoli in a creamy cheese sauce, a huge salad with all of JD&amp;#x27;s favorites (chick peas, tomatoes, black olives). We ate together at the table and I asked Brian a million questions like: &amp;quot;Man, what do you think Barack is doing right now? Like right now? Do you think he was too &amp;#x27;nerve&amp;#x27; to eat dinner tonight? Do you think his daughters, those beautiful girls get their dad could become an icon for all time tonight? What do you think Michelle is going to wear tonight?&amp;quot; Brian, repeatedly told me: &amp;quot;Chris, calm down. It&amp;#x27;s not over.&amp;quot; But I couldn&amp;#x27;t calm down. I was so nervous for BO. So while Bri and JD played with Legos, I washed the kitchen floor. Two times. Then I scrubbed the bathroom, but it wasn&amp;#x27;t dirty. At one point I sent Bri out for Cookies n&amp;#x27; Cream ice cream because: &amp;quot;Don&amp;#x27;t you want to eat ice cream with JD on such an incredible, historical evening?&amp;quot; (I really wanted ice cream last night!). Bri hung with me all night and even though JD fell asleep we kept him with us on the couch. When the Obama family took the stage I completely lost it and I&amp;#x27;m still at a loss for words. Oh what a night! Aunt Kateri who lives in Harlem USA joined the street party (did any of you?), so I&amp;#x27;ll post an exclusive scoop from her later today! For now... Let&amp;#x27;s discuss our new leader--JD&amp;#x27;s fav word: O-BA-MAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! PS: Really lost it when Obama said his daughters deserved a puppy and they&amp;#x27;re taking that puppy to THE WHITE HOUSE! Oh snap!"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
