I'll live in a state with a Democratic governor!!!!

This is such a great feeling.

Adding for clarity: I thought it would be obvious I hadn't lived in VA for the last 27 years since they have had Democratic governors in that time period. Sorry for not making that crystal clear in my excitement. Cheers! 🥂
