So... A perk of dating someone who's involved in politics is that I got to dress up fancy and go to dinner with a lot of other political people... I'm not gonna lie... it was pretty nerve wrecking. I got the call on Monday afternoon, and the dinner was on Tuesday night. So, luckily, I was the Maid of Honor at a wedding a couple years ago, and the bride (Kacey, I love you for this!) said to just get a black dress that I would wear again. So, I was able to use my fancy cocktail dress again for the dinner. It was horrible rain/humidity so my hair of course went completely flat when I stepped out of the house despite the half can of mousse I put on my hair before! It's alright though, because I still looked pretty alright if I do say so myself! :) I had fun, and met a ton of really high up there people, and had a REALLY yummy dinner... So, I will mark this down as one thing off my list of things I was scared to do, and have done! Meeting big-wigs is not my favorite thing! We sat at the table with Congressman Carter's wife and children since he was up in DC voting on something (I don't follow politics, if you couldn't tell!). She made it very light hearted, and we just had fun talking to the Carter kids who were there. I'll have to post a picture another time.
In the mean time.. enjoy a scene from my new favorite show, GLEE!!!! Love this show, and can't wait until the second season starts in April!!! Artie is one of my favorite characters on the show... Ans this is my FAVORITE song on both soundtracks!

Maybe you were out of your element for that dinner, but you handled it! HEY, you got the GENES! This family doesn't raise any wimps!
Everybody is watching Glee...must tune in I guess.
I suggest watching 'Born Yesterday' where Melanie Griffeth is taught what to say in a political conversation. OK, don't really say those things, but it is a cute movie! :)
Lori- You don't watch Glee??? You are seriously missing out! I highly suggest going and renting/buying the season! Rusty's sister and I got his mom hooked on the show too! And you are correct... this family doesn't raise wimps!!! We're too tough! Shelby, I will have to see that movie, and make sure I don't say what she says... Luckily my mom taught me to only talk about what I know! :)
I am a BIG FAN of Glee too!
