I twitched with worry as my polling venue sorted out an error with my voting registration.
I nervously bounced in and out of my bedroom, trying to catch election coverage while not ignoring the day's personal responsibilities.
I laughed as my daughter danced with each announced blue state, clapping her hands and cheering, "Yay 'Bama!"
And I cried through his entire acceptance speech.
For the first time in a while, I truly feel infused with patriotism. I am so pround of my nation tonight.
