I don't understand why we had to have mega-tron TV's set up over an area that stretched from the Capitol building to the Washington Monument. If people wanted to hear from afar they could have listened to their hand held radio or watched on their iPhone 3G (like that baby? lol) Anyway, spending that much money on a ceremony that really didn't take that long to perform is irresponsible, and counter productive. I am sure there were no mega-celebrities at George Washington's inauguration, nor were they wearing Armani suits and designer dresses, and he still managed to run this country and base it upon God's principles and morals that held true to our motto of "one nation under God". Just my humble opinion. I too was disappointed with the pomp and circumstance.

God's once again sent his wonderful sense of humor down upon us, as the first night you could actually have a night in your new study was the night that Kelsey's entire basketball team came over for a sleepover. But at least you can shut the door now and except for the knocks at the door every 2 minutes, you can get some studying done. I love you my darling husband. The pleasure is all mine.
