This past week, I was blessed with the chance to go to Norfolk, Virginia for a SAT (Student Action Team) to campaign for Ken Cuccinelli, a great man who was running for governor. Generation Joshua (the group I went with), a program affiliated with HSLDA (Home School Legal Defense Association), has a theme they go by: Duty is ours, results are God’s. That pretty much sums up the campaign this last week. We worked very hard contacting literally thousands of voters door-to-door and by telephone. Mr. Cuccinelli didn’t win, but it was an extremely close election. Even though it was disappointing, we all realized that we did our duty and God’s sovereign will came about.
I am so very glad I went.
I learned so much,
made amazing friends, and went to Chick-fil-a for the first time. ;) So much
happened that I couldn’t even begin to put it down on paper(er, a blog post), so I’m just going
to share a bunch of pictures…
Minnesota Airport!
...Because we like hugging bears.
This bookstore looked incredible.
My team and I in our faithful van, Lola.
Pretty self explanatory...
Not only were the hotel rooms super nice, but the beds were actually soft!
Our hotel was the most 'Virginiay' thing we saw.
Group picture!
One of my door-knocking partner/bodyguards for the day. ;)
I didn't mean to cut his face off, but we didn't have time to take another picture and my phone ran out of space anyway...Another door-knocking partner/bodyguard person. :)
Another partner/bodyguard person! He was awesome...they all were. :D
We went to some purty fancy neighborhoods...
Case in point.
Being tired at the victory party...
Another group picture!
One of my amazing room-mates. :)
Even though I was leaving for home that morning, the fact I was in Virginia hadn't quite sunk in yet.
More purtyfulness outside our hotel.
Lunch in Atlanta! These gals are so sweet.
Okay, there are a 'few' pictures...I still have lots more to go through for another post. :)
Looks like so much fun! I'm glad you had such a good time. And, yes, that bookstore does look incredible. Don't you love how so many of the buildings are brick over there? I wish we had more brick buildings in the NW - they are so beautiful and look much more respectable. :)
