Brendon's boss, Bill, left to go work in the private sector, so yesterday they had a going away party for him in the Indian Treaty Room at the White House. Brendon invited me to come with him, and my boss is wonderful enough to let me sneak away for a few hours during work.
It was a wonderful reunion of sorts, since lots of people that have left the job came back to give their well wishes to Bill. Some people we hadn't seen in months, and some in years. It was a pretty small, intimate group with a few of their close friends , a few WH Senior Staff, and Brendon's office.
The President made an appearance, and it was very touching and emotional as he spoke of his appreciation for Brendon's wonderful boss. I know the President has some critics these days, but I am his biggest fan! I am convinced more people would love him like I do if they could see him speak close up, and see the twinkle in his eye, and see his adorable smile. Regardless, it was great to see him speak...and to only be about 10 feet away as well. I was beaming the whole time, with adoration written all over my face. What can I say? ...I'm a fiercely partiotic girl!

So darling! I am a fan of Pres. Bush too... I think people are hard on him. You guys look so cute!
Everyone will be hard on any president no matter what he does or who he is...that being said...I am a fan of Bush, although it has waivered a tad, but I respect him and support him as the leader of our country.
You always get to do amazing things...I live through you :)
I too love President Bush. Sometimes I feel like a dying breed, so I am so happy to hear I am not alone. What an amazing opportunity you two have had.
I'm so glad your site it open again! I've missed it. So I totally wanted to check out your etsy site, but the image on your sidebar wouldn't take me anywhere when I clicked on it...am I just link-dumb? You're SO amazingly talented with a sewing machine! Thanks for always visiting our blog and commenting, I love it!

Hey Taryn. It's interesting to hear a different perspective on Bush. I can't say that I've ever been a fan of him, but I am not a fan of most politicians. Maybe if I knew him on a more personal basis, my feelings might change.
I love, love, love what you did to that sweater! It looks like it's straight off the rack from Anthropologie.
wow taryn! You forgot to tell me about this one! Pretty cool to be 10 ft from President Bush!
looks so fun! you guys have sure packed a lot of these events in recently!
