Election Day - All in the Family

So - Katy (my sister) works for the Congresswoman in South Dakota and finished her first election cycle in her position last night. Sara and I got to be at the Party Headquarters to celebrate - it was so awesome! I was so interested in the election this year and watching Katy go through the process on the inside only enhanced it. She worked so hard. For the last month of the campaign she would be in the office WAY early (like earlier than my kids get up some days - and that's early!) and she would leave long after 5:00. But she did it pretty happily - hardly any complaining whatsoever - just mostly excitement for the process and anticipation for the end result. Well she ROCKED IT!!! To be able to celebrate with her last night after watching and hearing about all her hard work was the best ever. I'm so glad you're back in South Dakota Katy!!!! And of course; pics...


Sara and I at Starbucks just after voting - yes, we were really that excited!


Obviously having the best time ever at the victory party!


Proud mama and papa with Katy.


And Todd got to be here to celebrate too! Could it have gotten any better?!

Yeah!!!!!!! wish I could have been there! We had a great party here at our house as well, and thank God I got to open that champagne that I had cold for a week! My soul is full! But a little bittersweet because Prop 8 passed.....
