This picture probably doesn't have a whole lot of meaning to anyone who reads my blog, but this was actually the most significant event of the summer for me. The 5 months up to this point had been spent doing my campaign work up to 40+ hours a week. It was very demanding, there was a TON of work to do, but I loved being part of something so exciting. Then this photo happened and my world changed. A lot! Jason had been thinking about running for Senate, but at this press conference he had made a swift decision to stay in the House. It was disappointing and a HUGE relief all at the same time. There is still a lot of work to be done, but I'm able to spend so much more time with my kids and the pressure of a multi-million dollar senate race is no longer on my mind. It has turned out to be such a blessing for me and my family and I'm very thankful for the decision Jason made.
But I'm not going to lie... it sure would have been quite the ride...
