Is reservoir full on the master cylinder? Low brake fluid level could cause that without the brakes feeling bad. If you have a compatible scan tool I'm sure there will be a code that will tell you where the problem may be. 
Duh!! I should have checked the fluid first thing!!
I was running to grad partys all day today, I will check that and the fuses tomorrow.
Where would be the best place to get the code read?
Thanks everyone!!

ABS problem trips both lights. Fluid issue would only trip the brake light

Well, all of the fuses are ok, the brake fluid level was just a hair low, so I topped it off, and the lights are still on!! So it must be one of the wheel speed sensors?? Is there one in particular to look for? Thanks all!!

What part of this is wrong?
Our ABS light just came on and I told the Ole' Girl it was just like her last car now. ABS is for folks that don't know how to drive in slippery conditions... Just like 4 wheel drive for driving on city streets in the winter... Not necessary either. I never had it in any of my stuff, cause I run older stuff, but she wanted something newer. Are we in trouble just because the ABS is out of order? Is there some issue I am not aware of that will make this an unsafe vehicle?
Not trying to be a smart$$ or start an argument. It's just that I have been driving for 35 years and just don't get this make the car smarter than the driver stuff. 
ABS light only with a wheel speed sensor or bearing. Both lights come on if both systems are affected. Most cars are more capable of controlling brake lockup than their drivers, snowy conditions excepted.
