BEST WEEKEND EVER.

I am still unwinding from this weekend. It was the best. Weekend. Ever.

So number one, I saw the POTUS. No big. I took a photo of him with my cell camera.


Some other people took pictures of him, too.


Okay, seriously, AHHHHH!! It was so, so amazing! I have never willingly sung the entire National Anthem in recent memory! Or been around so many happy and insanely people. Or seen so many tiny, waving flags. Video footage of the speech is available here.

I went with Planned Parenthood, and (benefit of being a teenager!) the two other Teen Council members who were there and I received VIP tickets, along with our adult leader-types. There was a large amount of screaming, jumping up and down, etc., and I believe that just about every step of waiting in line for three hours was documented. When we finally got into the Target Center, we were probably about twenty feet away from the podium. Best part of the waiting there was looking over people's shoulders in front of me to read their texts ("I'm 20 ft away!!!! AHHHH!!! Wish u were here!!").

And then the President spoke. The energy was electric and rock concert-y, and the wait was absolutely, absolutely worth it.

Then I went home and made brownies. They were delicious.

Good weekend. There was more, but I think that should be another entry, so I'll hold off.
