Carl's cousin has been Laura Bush's personal photographer for the last few years. She travels everywhere the Bush's go and her pictures are all documented in the historical archives. Last month she was contacted by someone on the Palin campaign asking if she would like to join them. So, she is now Sarah Palin's photographer on the campaign trail!
She was able to get 25 VIP tickets for her family, so Carl's parents asked if we wanted to go. Then they called back and asked if Mom and Dad would like to come too, so we all went! I wasn't sure what to expect, I'm not much of a political person, but it was incredible!
About halfway through her speech a secret service agent came to us and said that our group needed to come with him. We weren't sure where we were going, but ended up downstairs, backstage! We all lined up and when she was finished we got to meet her and get our picture taken with her! It was really fun! We will get that picture in a few weeks I think, in the meantime, we got a few snapshots of her.

Awesome! We would have loved to go to the rally, but the tickets went so quickly we didn't have a chance. That's cool you actually got to meet her.
Wow! Neat story, Stephanie! Great opportunity and how fun to be able to share the experience that night with your folks.
When I lived in Ft. Wayne, the year that Tamie's Melody was born, I lived in a little house off of hiway 27 near a bowling alley. Dan Quayle was knocking on doors from house to house and I let him come into the livingroom but once I did, I was afraid that maybe I shouldn't have, because nobody knew who that guy REALLY might be...he handed me some kindof propaganda that I promptly threw in the garbage can after he left, so I could get to work! What a snag in my busy daily life. Whew, those politicians think they can impress anybody. Ha!
That is SO WAY COOL!!!!!! I can't wait to see the pics of your family with the FIRST WOMAN PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES 2013!!!!
