This year our country has a really neat opportunity to have a presidential election. I've been following the GOP race very closely, however, somewhat privately. I don't really like to clash with others when it comes to government. I'd rather watch other people's train wrecks and just make sure that I have educated myself on the issues. That being said, I tend to describe myself as a Republican. As such, I've been especially thrilled with the way the GOP race for a Republican Candidate has been going down. Very entertaining!
This morning I attended a rally for Governor Mitt Romney here in Jacksonville, Florida (by the way, he's the one I would like to have get the GOP nomination) It was so much fun! I showed up about an hour early and so I got an excellent spot. I got to meet the Governor and have him sign my nifty pin :) It was nice to see him speak without the influences of the media that can distort the way that candidates are viewed.
Mitt Romney and Anne Romney
When I got to meet Anne Romney the only thing I could think to say was, "Your dress is very pretty." I'm clearly the most intelligent person...
And I when I met Mitt...I hugged him...yep...I hugged him. It was pretty sweet!
He was a very nice individual and I feel very confident in his abilities to lead our country.
He gave a really great speech. And though I can't remember all of it, some of the points he made were spot on. I was able to catch a great portion of his speech on video...but I can't get it to upload here...
Anyways...now I'm enjoying my evening home. I'm studying for my microbiology lab tomorrow morning and watching the GOP debate in Jacksonville at the same time. It's been no disappointment so far! Gingrich has been attacking Romney relentlessly and Romney just keeps ripping Gingrich a new one. Then you've got Santorum on the other side of the stage who is really rocking all this! I think I would just be tickled to death to have Rick Santorum become Romney's VP running mate. Rick Santorum seems like he would do great, though I don't know much about him.
On a totally different subject...we are loving our ward down here. We've met some really great people and we've started making friends! Yay! We haven't received any callings yet and we've got Stake Conference this week so it will probably be a little longer. We hope it comes soon though!
Well I think that will be it for now. I'll try to be more consistent with my blogs.
