Scott Walker for Governor, 2010!

On Tuesday evening, Nathan and I were able to go to Scott Walker's campaign! How cool is that?? The night just kept getting better and better. So, at around 7:20am, Nathan and I went to vote for the first time!! I was REALLY excited! :) Then, at about 6:30pm, we got a phone call from a friend offering to take Nathan and I to the Walker campaign. Of course, we went!!! So we get there at about 7:40, and we make our way up to the front of the room, right where Scott Walker would give his victory speech.
It was getting more crowded by the minute, and the excitement level was super high. Since we were right up in front, they asked us if we wanted to go stand on the stage b/c there was extra room up there, and not enough room on the floor. Of course we did!! :) So, we got to stand on the stage for Walker's acceptance speech and everything! :) It was SO awesome!!! :)
