Inauguration Weekend 2013

This weekend I celebrated the second term of our President Barack Obama! I participated in a day of service in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr., attended an inaugural gala and attended the inauguration on the National Mall. I was debating if I really wanted to go because it was freezing and I hate large crowds, but I will never forget the emotions I felt as I watched our President get sworn in. We still had to watch from a huge screen but I witnessed history and I have never felt more proud to be an American. Everything from Obama's amazing speech, to Michelle's flawless attire, to Beyonce singing the national anthem, I was in awe of this moment. Our country has come so far and although the past four years have been challenging, I am looking forward to the progress our country can make in the next four years. The inaugural gala hosted by Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. was a very classy affair with performances by Raheem Devaughn and local DC jazz band, Spur of the Moment. Raheem's performance was great! He is such an underrated artist. I have been a fan since his first album so I was glad to finally get to hear him perform live. On Sunday I made my mom's sweet potato casserole and it was a hit! I'm getting much better at my domesticated skills. ;)
