An Interesting Evening

Tonight was a fun evening. My hubby and I had an unusual 'date'. We had dinner with Sheriff Joe Arpaio and 300 of our 'closest friends". LOL. We went to a speaking engagement/dinner at our local Chamber of Commerce where he was the guest speaker. Among the other "VIP's" was Senator Ron Gould, AZ state Rep Nancy McClain and Doris Goodall. Also there was Mohave County Sheriff Tom Sheahan who in 2010 was named among the top 10 toughest Sheriff's. I am sure by now you know who is consistently named #1. I found him to be funny and entertaining. The food there was fantastic too! I was very surprised to find out that it was catered by our local hospital. Now, I had Brandon at this hospital and I sure don't remember the food being that good! All in all, I had a great night. Despite the fact that I have strep throat. except for swallowing, I enjoyed the evening. I tried to steer clear of people and use Germx. However, if Sheriff Joe gets strep soon, please don't anyone tell him where I live :)

Just look how thrilled he is to meet me! haha.. Actually he was whispering something to me .
I am happy to say that I got to shake the hand of "America's Toughest Sheriff".



Here is the newspaper article about his visit. HERE

    Sounds like a great evening. And I'm not sure I've seen a picture of you, or if I have, it's been a long time. You are so pretty. And I have heard of that sheriff, how cool to meet him. :)

    That's awesome...we need more just like him! Great job on your WW loss Kristy! I can only hope that someday I can claim 30 lbs. Things are still going well here too...I am really trying to stay focused and look forward. I am doing it this time too!

    I was just going to say you look like you have been losing weight! Not from you photo, although it's true there, too, but in real life. Way to go. That is a huge accomplishment, because it is SO HARD. You are way ahead of me.

    I didn't know you went to this event. Cool.
