Alaska Happenings

Jeremy's mom just got her start date (Sept. 12th) for her new job with the FAA! Yeah! Dee, we are so excited for you and wish you the best in this next short while as you pack up and head to Anchorage. Can't wait to see you when you have training in Oklahoma! Here's a video from the girls:



Also, Sarah Palin, AK's first female governor just accepted McCain's VP nomination. Wow! Funny though, after watching Obama's speech last night at the DNC (on a side note, I don't think any pyrotechnic display will ever look as good as the Beijing Olympics - it was pretty sad.), I was wondering who the VP for McCain would be and thought "What if it's Palin? Nah." Well, congrats to Sarah. It's neat to have an Alaskan in the news and for her to be a potential VP. It'll be interesting to see her in the upcoming debates. And after some thought, I think it'll be refreshing to have a real, down-to-earth, untainted-by-Washington, mother (of 5!) and wife be the VP. Go Palin!

I couldn't agree more with you about Sarah Palin! I was psyched to have her in the runnings. I think she's great! It would be amazing to have her as the VP. Amazing to think that an Alaskan, of all people was chosen for the position. More power to her though! And God bless her for standing up for what she believes in. You know people by their actions, and she is one who is true to her word, especially when faced with the news about her baby, while she was pregnant. I am proud that she's our governor and will be ecstatic if McCain/Palin win! WooHoo!
