Last year, Jamie wrote an essay (which started as a blog entry) for a grad class that she took for her continuing education requirements. The essay was all about halloween as a Kindergarten teacher and having to take care and teach a classroom of five-year-olds dressed up as super heros and princesses. Her professor liked the article so much that she suggested that she submit it to the Free Lance-Star. Well, she did submit it last year, but they had already filled their schedule for Halloween articles, so no dice. Fast forward to October 08. The Free Lance-Star contacted her and asked to use her article for this year. So, it is in the paper today and we are pretty excited.

Obama & Biden held a rally in Fredericksburg yesterday. According to reports about 26,000 people showed up…and about 26 billion raindrops.

Jamie & I arrived at about 2:30, waiting in line for about and hour and a half and made our way into Ball Circle at the University of Mary Washington. Obama spoke about 7:00pm…it rained pretty much his entire speech. Needless to say, we were soaked, but the rally was good despite that. Below are some photos from this inspiring event.
