WOW!!!!

Oh my goodness...can I just say that tonight was absolutely AMAZING?! I went to see the Iraqi National Symphony Orchestra play with the National Symphony Orchestra. Yo-Yo Ma was also there and played! But that isn't even the best part. President Bush and Laura were in attendance, as were most of his cabinet. Tonight I saw Donald Rumsfeld, Condoleezza Rice, Colin Powell (he spoke as well), Paul Wolfowitz, Frank Menetta...and probably more.

I SHOOK COLIN POWELL'S HAND!!! As we were walking down the stairs to leave we came to the tier where the Prez and his cabinet were sitting...and I saw Secretary Powell...so I went over with my friend Nate to shake his hand. He was SO nice! :) I am just so amazed...a great night with good friends, great music and great people in attendance. I have been SO blessed!

I have now:
Met John Ashcroft (twice)
Met Colin Powell
Seen the President 4 times
Seen Laura Bush 2 times
Worked with Newt Gingrich
Seen Speaker Hastert
Seen many senators and representatives
Seen House Majority Leader Bill Frist
Seen Donald Rumsfeld
Seen Condoleezza Rice

i am sure that the list is longer...but I can't remember. Now I must WRITE MY PAPER!!!
