Last Post of the Marking Period

So much has happened in the past two weeks. In historical sense there are two events that will definitely be remembered in history - Hurricane Sandy and Obama's re-election.  Both of which I am truly emotionally involved in.  I understand if you do not see the importance or relevance of these events in your own lives because that is the nature of growing up.

For this week please list two historical events that have happened in your lives.  For extra credit add links or pictures.


....ah the magic.....
