Romney who?

So earlier this week a friend of mine told me to be on the lookout for Romney. I said, what is this Romney that you speak of? Ok, yes I know who Mitt Romney is, but in the context of Romney being in our one stop light town, I was confused.

After going to the gym, I had to run something over to a friend's house. Ella and Laney were at school so it was just Matthew and myself. I immediately saw all of the health care signs, all of the cameras and so much security; I realized that Mitt Romney was in town. My friend's comment finally hit me! Blonde much?

So I turned down the sidestreet and found myself a parking spot. Everybody was dressed for work in their suits and ties and there was me, hair a mess from the gym, in my workout gear. I owned it though baby! I figured I represented the true American.

Right as we got there, Mitt was headed inside. Yes, we are on a first named basis. But before he ran in, I saw my friend Susie with her arm around him getting her picture taken. I asked myself, "What did Susie do to know him so well?" I later found out that her mom owns the building he was speaking at so she got first dibs at a picture.

Since I had Matthew with me and I figured every presidential hopeful likes to have his picture taken with a kid, Susie thought that I should stand by the door when Gov. Romney would come out from after his giving his speech. I hung around the door (looking amazing I might add) and when he came down the steps, he saw Matthew and said, "Let's get a picture."


Matthew and I were waiting for the Gov to come back outside. 
Notice how everybody else is dressed? No worries though, I was decked out in AdvoCare gear :)
Matthew kept throwing these bouncy balls around and they would land in the bushes you see in the front of the picture. The camera men were so nice to jump in and get them for me a few times. Of course I figured there was no need for them to do that...I already looked like I needed a shower!


My friend Susie is right next to Gov Romney.
They are now pals.


Oh the serious security.
Our high crime of TP baby!


So here is the picture.
Gov Romney came out of the building and there we were.
Matthew was not so sure about the cameras infront of us but I figured I would work my angle.
That's it folks....straight to the white house we go!

I love the pic of you, Matthew and Mitt. I hope that Mitt realizes the boost to his campaign this picture would bring if he chose to publish it! I ran into Susie this evening, and she filled me on the "happening" in your one-light village. You have hit the "big time"!

How cool is that?! I have a picture of Reese and I with Gov. Mitch Daniels, and I love it! I love it that you rocked it out in your workout clothes, too. ;) I bet Mitt gets really tired of all of the suits...

Too funny! It was nice of you to stop by and help his campaign with cute little Matthew. :)
