Bush Sr.

I was able to cross one thing off my list of 100 things to do before 30 on Monday. I got to hear a President speak in person. President George H. W. Bush was speaking at the University of Arkansas for their Distinguished Lecture Series. Scott and I met up with Brandon and Casey. They took us to Whole Hog where Brandon ate this
and I had this goodness

Bush Sr. was really funny. I'm glad I got to go hear him. He made some good jokes about his time working with Gorbachev and how he doesn't have to care about much anymore since he's not the President! He gave a great speech that revealed a lot about his presidency and the challenges he faced. This was definitely a once in a lifetime experience. Well, I guess I heard him speak before, but I was 5 and it was at my church.
