Had to wake up at 4 this morning... We had to be on Fort Hood by 6 to get ready for the short bus ride to the field... Once at the field I was a little in awwe at the Secruity check points and seeing, for the first time in my life, Secret Service members. We were standing in front of the stage waiting and waiting when finally at about 8:15 the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders ran out to many cat whistles, hoots and hollers :o) Hey I was standing among LITERALLY "HUNDREDS UPON HUNDREDS" of American Soldiers, who wouldn't expect all of the noise?? It's alright though cause there I stood poking my husband saying
"take pics, lots of pics of the girls for Eric" (my 8 yr old son)...
HAHA, of course he DIDN'T complain!! The cheerleaders were onstage for about 45 minutes. By the time they were finished I had been standing on my feet in the heat for about 3 hours surrounded by a bunch of sweaty men :o) Do you think I complained,lol, nooooooooo of course not :o)... Anyway it wasn't until an hour after they had finised that VP Dick Cheney FINALLY arrived and began to speak... I may not always agree with people in politics but I do have to say I'm glad I went today and I'm glad I had the chance to shake the Vice Presidents hand... Most don't get that chance...
It's almost 1, I'm home again and EXHAUSTED! I think I'm gonna take a LONG LONG LONG nap...
PS: There are a few pics in my folder labele Fort Hood, Texas...
