Sarah Palin

Macee and I attended a presentation by Sarah Palin on Oct. 24 at the Pittsburgh Airport Marriot where she addressed a small group, 350 people on the McCain/Palin policies related to Special Needs Children and Adults. The presentation was very encouraging! Also, after she spoke, she came off the stage on our side of the room and we got to meet her. As I'm getting closer to the front, the next thing I know is Sarah makes eye contact with me, sticks her arms out to hold Macee, and we have a conversation. She is so "real" and genuinely wanted to know about Macee. She was excited because Macee and her son Trig are so close in age (almost 2 months apart). She also said "May God bless you" and I said it back, then I was able to tell her that we are praying for her and she smiled and said thank you very much! And then as I take a step back to take a picture, my camera turns off and is out of battery. Yep, camera failed and I don't have the important picture of Macee is Sarah's arms. I was able to talk with someone from her campaign who took my information and said she would ask the campaign photographers if they got a picture and if so, they would email it to me. So, we'll see. But still, such an AWESOME opportunity! Here are a couple of pictures I took, and then one from Yahoo news with me in the background.
