All I have to say, is I AM BLESSED!!!

Here's what happened today, and then I will share the links to the slideshows I made of all the pics I have!!

So, we left home at about noon. Took us about two hours to get to the convention center. We got some coffee at Wolfgang Puck's Cafe, and made our way to the line to get into the rally. This line was AROUND the ENTIRE convention center, THOUSANDS of people! We heard that not everyone would be able to fit into the center, so we got a little discouraged. Mom and I looked around for someone to tell us what part of line was the end (since it was literally wrapped around the entire place!!). All of the sudden, a tall guy in a suit with an earpiece in ran toward us and yelled, "Ladies, come over here!!!" We freaked out, because we thought we were in trouble! I said "Are we in trouble??" He laughed, and said no. He then said, "I need you to walk over there to that woman, and tell her Dan sent you. You are going to be sitting DIRECTLY BEHIND SENATOR OBAMA!!!!!" We got VIP SEATING RIGHT BEHIND THE PODIUM!! We were put in a special line, and given yellow bracelets to specify our "status"!!! We were taken in right before everyone else, went through special security, and put about twenty feet away from OBAMA!!!! OMG!!! We were warned that we will be on NATIONAL television!! I was then given a part of a huge sign to hold right behind him!! If you see the Louisville Rally on any television news channel, I will be the one holding the letter R in the word "FOR". Watch out for me! I am there! We were seated right next to Mohammed Ali's relative! OMG! And the mayor & governor and Secret Service! It was amazing!!

Here are the links to the picture slideshows I made up really quick of all the pics! You can see in one of them that I was about one foot away from Barack at one point!! OMGOMGOMGOMG!
Click on the pics below to open the slideshows in a new window!!!

That is so cool Lauren! Do you know why you were chosen as VIPs? Probably because you're hot

Okay ladies! Found a video!!

LINK

If that doesn't work, try this one- the videos should be displayed on the left-hand side. Click the one that is titled "Barack Obama in Louisville."It is 41 minutes long!

REMEMBER I am holding the letter R in the word "FOR" right behind him! Right next to me is my momma!
