Hillary!!!

Woohoo! Since the North Carolina primaries are coming up on May 6th, Hillary Clinton has begun campaigning in our state. Her very first stop was my college, Wake Tech. We got up early this morning and Olivia and I made the trip out to my school to stand in line to hear her speak about the future of our economy.
After much waiting she came out and the response was amazing. All the students were so excited to finally see her after an almost hour delay. Olivia was really good about it. She had lots of snacks and juice to pull her through.
After the speech Hillary came down to shake hands and take pictures. The audience stormed her and I didn't think Olivia and I would be able to reach her.
I decided we weren't going to leave without a picture with Hillary so I called out to her "Hillary, will you take a picture with my baby?" She graciously agreed and so I passed Olivia up a few rows and got this awesome picture. It was an amazing experience to be in the presence of such an inspiring woman and I truly enjoyed hearing her speak.

Happy Easter!

Trip to J-Ville

Last week was Brian's spring break so we headed to J-Ville for a few days to visit with our family. Olivia was excited to see Rock and was always throwing his ball for him.
She also got to play with her cousins.
They played with the football in the backyard for a while before dinner.
Then we celebrated Brian's birthday with a yummy ice cream cake.
Olivia is in the process of potty training and adjusted well to traveling with her potty.

We had a lot of fun on the trip and hope to go back again sometime this summer.
