I went to the 2016 Convention as a delegate for the state of Texas. I wasn’t a very political person before, but I was enthusiastic about the candidate and the message. But this isn’t about politics.
Things weren’t great at home. My husband has always been very passionate about politics and he donated to a different candidate from our state. It was a little contentious because we’re both stubborn, independent people. Two alphas.
So he didn’t go to Ohio with me. I was on my own with the group and kind of cut loose. But that part isn’t unusual for me. I’m over 40 now, but I’m a former pageant queen with a love for nice dresses, high heels, big hair, and big glasses of wine! I still have a gym body, even if I no longer have a high school cheerleader’s waist. (Pic on my profile!)
Obviously it was a rowdy atmosphere. There was a celebratory vibe. There was definitely a crowd that was high on life and old times religion, but that wasn’t my crowd! I tried to hit every party I could find!
