Political Family

Andre and I (Jennifer) went to the Saxby Chambliss rally today!! I was really excited to go, I think that this is the first election that I have gotten so emotionally involved with. Of course McCain and Palin didn't win, but the emotional involvement has flowed over to the Senate race. So, when we got notice that Sarah Palin was going to help campaign for Saxby, I knew that I wanted to attend the rally (even though I have already voted).

I RSVP'ed for all of us to go together, but Armon backed out and Dan had to do some work so I checked Andre out of school early....I know bad parent alert...and we headed over to the Gwinnett Arena. There was already a pretty big line when we got there and there was the cutest older couple in line with us. They have been married for over 40 years and were pretty chatty. It was nice to meet them and hear about some of their life experiences. It definitely helped the wait go faster :). Once we got into the actual arena I scoped out the best seats. We weren't too close, but we had a clear view. It was pretty neat to check out all the signs and just people watch. Saxby only talked for a minute and then Sarah talked for about 20 minutes. She is a pretty good speaker and was really interesting. Andre says that he didn't learn anything new, but I still think it was worth letting him leave school a little early.
