Pride is OK Sometimes

I'll be the first to admit...one of my biggest character flaws is pride. (No Amens from the choir...I said I know that it is a flaw!!) I really do struggle with it - too much pride to quit, too much pride to admit when I am wrong, too much pride in way too many things. 

There is one thing, though, I think it is ok to be proud of, and that is your family.

If you haven't picked up on the fact that I LOVE my family by now, then we are going to refer to you as Not the Sharpest Crayon in the Box!! I really do love them, and I am very proud of them. I especially love when I get to brag on them and their accomplishments!!

Tonight's post is about Politics. Now before you tune me out and click off of this screen, it is not the whiny, arguing, my view is better than yours politics. If you are like me, you know that politics are important in our country, but you also hate the bickering, out and back that it brings every single time there is an election. I truly believe that if our candidates would focus more on what they are offering and what they can do instead of bashing everyone else like little middle school girls, more people would be interested and would get more involved. Ok, Ok, that was my soap box...back to the good stuff!!

Tonight, I am here to announce that my brother (AKA The Best Brother Ever) is now a Delegate to the 2nd District ‎and 1st Alternate nominated to State Convention!!!

If you are like me and have no idea what that REALLY means, here is how he broke it down to me...It means that he is going to the Republican Convention of his Congressional District as a voting representative of Muscogee County (Georgia). He is also a back up to the statewide convention. The District elects 3 Delegates to go to the National Convention, and he could possibly be asked to go to that.

I'm not going to lie to you and tell you that I understand all that, because really I don't. The one thing that I do understand is that he is acting where most people simply complain. He has strong convictions and beliefs in the Republican party, and he is acting on those.

I am so proud that my brother is becoming more and more active in his political arena. He has already run in another election, and I can't wait to see where this takes him.

I love that he is chasing a dream!! Stephen has ALWAYS had so much potential, and I am so glad that he is realizing that!! Not only is he an amazing brother, but he is also an incredible photographer, hilarious as all get out, and now making an attempt to change the world (well, at least Muscogee County).

I love you, Bro, and am VERY proud of you!! I sure wish that I could be casting my vote for you, but boy am I glad that I am not still in Muscogee County!! :)
