Did you hear....
That Barack Obama is going to be speaking at Dobson High School in Mesa Arizona where I graduated from? My sister Lindsey goes there and she will be in class on Wed when he arrives. Now most of you know I am not all about politics but I thought this was really neat. Out of all the schools they chose Dobson!!!! No I didn't vote for Obama but Mariyah is so excited that Obama is our President so we went at 10:30 at night to see if we could get tickets! Um ya lets just say the line was EXTREMELY long and it was way to cold to stand outside because they're only giving 300-400 tickets out starting in the morning at 7:00. It also looked like over 400 people were already standing in line. It was a fun experience for Mariyah and mom to drive to the school and see the line, the news and the tents, the coolers and the people standing in line all night. Mariyah said mom I forgot my bed to sleep outside and my pillow and blanket. I had a good laugh. We headed home but it was a fun experience:).

I read that last night and was so excited for the kids in the ward! How cool to be there when that is happening. And I figured there was no hope in getting tickets! Good job for trying though.
