SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 2008 AT 5:01 PM
I have never experienced four days like this in my life. So much of the Convention had been planned for months and dreamed of for years, but nothing prepares you for the actual experience. Add to that the craziness of the week, and it made for an experience of a lifetime. The last night was very special to me because it featured both of my parents and allowed our entire family to share in the moment. People don't always see or understand the challenges that a political family encounters; there are some difficult times along the way. But on Thursday night, my Mom and Dad's hard work was recognized and celebrated in a way I've never seen before. I am so happy for them and I am so eager to watch the next 60 days unfold. I'm confident that my Dad will be an incredible President. Thanks to everyone who has helped us get this far. Your support is always a cherished part of my life. And a special thanks to my girls, Heather and Shannon. You guys are always there for me and that means more to me than you'll ever know.
