A dream come true. A difficult goal met. I am thrilled.
This weekend, I attended the Texas Democratic Party Convention as a delegate. I left thinking that I had not reached a goal I have had for the last 20+ years and finally have the time to dedicate to it - to be a delegate at a Democratic Party Convention. Who knew this is the one that EVERYONE wants to attend?

When I got home, I had a message. Congratulations....you are a national delegate. I can't remember ever being so excited and surprised and honored. My husband was also truly amazed. "You set your mind to something and you don't let anything get in the way - I am so proud of you." He is truly supportive of all that I do.

I will go to Denver in August and cast my vote proudly for the next President of the United States - Barack Obama. The great state of Texas casts all of its votes for....who would have ever imagined?

I will keep you updated on my journey!
