Snow day

Yesterday was March 6th--and it snowed over 1 foot here in Denton! Crazy, huh? It's practically spring and there's snow on the ground. Matt's classes were cancelled and we got to play in the snow and watch movies the rest of the day in celebration of our first snow day here. Good times.

Late night caucus

Last Thursday I got to go to into Fort Worth to hear Obama speak at a rally there. Just entering the building brought tears to my eyes--there was such a beatifully diverse group of people there; I was deeply moved by the experience. Many of you got a call from me on Tuesday encouraging you to vote for Obama or at least make your voice heard in this process. After voting on Tuesday, I got to go back to my precinct at participate in the caucus. It was crazy--no one expected that many people to show up (five times more than the norm at our precinct), and we didn't get done until 11:00 that night. I got to meet a lot of great people and will be a precinct representative for our county convention--it's exciting to be a part of this process. Even though Barack didn't win the popular vote in Texas, he did win almost all of the major cities in Texas and should actually win the delegate count in Texas due to the large turnout of support for him in the caucuses. I just want to encourage all of you to do what you can to get the person elected you feel would best lead this country. I leave you with this message of hope. . . http://youtube.com/watch?v=jjXyqcx-mYY&feature=related
