I love politics!

I attended the Sarah Palin Rally in Fredericksburg today! I worked all night and then went and stood in line for hours (five to be exact) to see this lady speak...and I would do it all again tomorrow if I had the chance! She comes across as humble and contrary to media reports, intelligent! Most exciting for me is that I didn't get that slimy feeling I have when I hear Barack Obama speak. Now I know she isn't perfect and she is the VP nominee, not presidential, but she definitely sweetens the McCain pot for me...good thing since I sent in my absentee ballot over a week ago!! It was a really neat experience, one we Oklahomans don't get very often since we are about as red as a state can get!!

Other news is that I went to California for my friend Kelley's wedding...had a great time seeing good friends! It also made me pretty confident that if I am ever to be blessed with marriage, it will be via a Vegas elopement!!

I'm hanging in as time is winding down in Virginia. I'll be home for Christmas (wow - that line would make a great song...he he) and then off to parts as yet unknown. I was kinda planning on trying to meet up with Lucas and Megan but I just don't think it's gonna work out. It's a pretty complicated process and no guarantees that we would all be able to get jobs in the same place so I'm just going to plan what I wanna do and hope they will decide to follow! I will be talking tomorrow with a recruiter about Boston so my next post will have lots more news on that front. I'm tentatively planning to go to New York to visit my dear friends the weekend prior to Thanksgiving. Since we all have to work on the holiday, we are gonna have our dinner a little early! We did that last year in CA and it was great...made the distance from our families a little more bearable!


This is the gang...Sean, Cindy, Kelley, Johanna and I before we went out on the town for the Bachlorette party!
Some of the really great people I used to work with...Tom, me, Megan, and Cindy

I hate politics, but it looks like you had a great time! Thanks for the pictures; I've been wondering what's been going on with you.

Wow! What an experience.

Looks like a lot of fun.

I'm going to be watching closely on election night. Politics has become so much more "real" to me now that my family depends on a small business. Suddenly, the issues hit VERY close to home. :)
