Another candidate!

It may have something to do with being involved in the political process with Andy's race, but my daughter has decided to run for President! (Just kidding, she's been planning this for years.) Of course, she is in middle school and is running for student council, but a mother has never been so proud.
As it stands today, she is running against two other girls, so it looks like we will have a female president after all! :) She has been jumping into this full force, figuring out her slogan "Don't be Baloney, Vote for Mahoney".....catchy, huh? She has gotten nearly every signature she needs from teachers and students, and has already written her speech to give to the student body....all in the first day of preparation!
My girl, so independent and strong, very few fears and trepidations. When she is asked to speak or sing in front of a crowd, she takes it in stride, like it's no big deal. If it were me, I'd be losing my lunch all the time!
Waves of pride wash over me as I look in her eyes, it's amazing the young woman she's becoming!
