An Update From The Trenches

Just a quick update on how things are going down here in Alabama...its been a super busy week for the campaign. We've been trekking all over the 5th district and visiting with old friends and meeting new ones. Even though I'm a little biased when it comes to Dr. Griffith and the 5th district, I love this area and I think he is by far the best person to represent the people of this area in Washington. As I type this, there is a little over 23 days and 3 hours until election day. Between now and then we'll continue to be out and about talking to North Alabamians about where this district is headed in the future!

Uncle Sam, is that your final answer?

What? Could it be? Did Uncle Sam really just tell us where we're headed? Did he? Yes and no. Yes, we have a tentative post Maryland plan, but it isn't set in stone. As it stands right now, S will be taking a 6month detour through Fort Benning, GA before heading back to the fleet. This isn't what I was hoping for, since I'd really like to get started on a second degree, but you just have to roll with the punches. Here are a few positives about this short little jaunt in the South: we'll find out our next stop a good bit in advance which will help while planning for school, my dear friend Joe and his soon-to-be wife will be there, and its Auburn Football season! This is my favorite part...obviously! I'm already in the market for tickets to all the home games, so if you or someone you know has a spare set just lying around, I'd love to take them off their hands! Cross your fingers that Uncle Sam doesn't pull the ol' switch-er-roo and change his mind. That's all for now...updates on my time in Alabama, the campaign, and the wedding coming soon.
