Journeys

For those of you who have followed our journey since we started the blog a year ago, you know how crazy campaign life can be. The manic pace, last second changes and unpredictable moments have all set the stage for what has been an unbelievable ride. I am privileged to be able to be a part of this experience and I hope sharing it with you provides a more intimate and authentic look at Dad’s campaign. Last night was overwhelming for me in a way in which I’ve never before experienced.  The tears I shed were due to an abounding love I have for my father, who, above all else, wants to serve a nation and her people.  His love and faith in his country and fellow citizens saved him in his darkest hour. Standing on that stage, I saw past the balloons, confetti and cheers. I was left with a singular image. One of a man who will take his improbable journey and draw from it at every turn to change our country and our world for the better.  Dad, I have never been more proud to be your daughter. I love you. Song of the Day: “Barracuda” by Heart

Day Three

We started the day at a People Magazine photo shoot that took place in a ballroom at the hotel.  It was like a movie set where the “prop masters” even had framed family photos on the tables in the mock living room setting. It was also one of the first times in a while where we had the entire family in one room at the same time, due to so many different competing schedules and commitments.  It was like a mini-family reunion but with the bright lights and shutters of the cameras clicking nonstop. Before we knew it, the shoot was over and it was time to head over to the Xcel Energy Center and watch Governor Palin deliver her amazing speech.  John Rich closed the night’s session with a rocking performance of his song, “Raisin’ McCain.” I’m living the dream, baby!
