I was there. . .

I had to work last night.  

It was alright though.  I still made it to Grant Park.

I was there before it got crazy and made it just in time to hear Obama's speech.  

When I got of work I was walking to get food.  A home less man came up to me and said you know he won right.  

He was so happy.  I was almost speechless.  This is how I found out.  I couldn't be happier.

We high fived, then he asked for any spare change on the way up.

I got to the park to hear people yelling, screaming, crying.  

So many emotions were going on.  

Chicago was a great place to be last night.  I feel like there wasn't another place in the world I would rather be.

I can not believe we did it.  I voted Obama.  My vote counted.  It was so incredibly close in so many states.  

I realize that change is not going to happen over night.  But I look forward to the progression of my country.  

Here are some photographs from last night.
