Now I'm not one to do a lot of name dropping, (mainly because I don't know any famous people) but for the record, I just want everyone to know that I am friends with Angela Baldwin, Maria Tedjamulia, and Taylor West. Those names might not mean anything to you now but give them 10 years or so and I'm POSITIVE they will all be famous. : ) Maria and Angela are both amazing singers and Taylor is a renaissance man who is so good at so many things it's hard to keep up with him. Anyway, last Thursday Taylor, who is the Republican party co-chair for our senate district, invited Angela, Maria and I to sing the national anthem at the Maple Grove gubernatorial straw poll.
It was so much fun singing with such talented ladies, hobnobbing with some of the candidates for governor, and seeing Taylor in action as he emceed the whole event. (Not to mention having a place to wear my high heels to other than church! It's been awhile...) And as a bonus, I now feel more enlightened on the race for governor and enjoyed seeing a little bit of politics in action!
Maria, Angela and I just before we sang. They called us the Maple Grove Republic Women's trio. (Random side fact: Both girls were with us on the Ragnar trail! Angela ran in van 2 and Maria's husband ran as well.)
Hobnobbing with the candidates. I loved walking through there and having everyone reach out to me, shake my hand and butter me up. Sure they were probably just after my vote but still, it made me feel important. : )
Here is a little video that Angela's husband took of us singing. Enjoy!
Great video! You guys are awesome...and I am pretty sure if the other two girls are going to be famous, you should include yourself in those ranks as well!
