Growing

Sunday, January 20th, 2008 | All Posts

I know by the title of this post, most of you are thinking it is about Cole. Well, today I thought I would write a little about how Brian has helped me grow. I have always been one who gets very shy when the spotlight is on me. I have always hated speaking in church, giving a school presentation, etc. Well, ever since I started dating Brian, my confidence level has gone up and I have noticed that I feel a little more comfortable in the before mentioned situations. I still have hesitancy’s beforehand, but once I am in the moment, I am a lot less nervous than I used to be. For example, yesterday at the Republican caucuses (I’m sure most of you know) they have so many delegates per precinct. Well both Brian and I thought it would be good for me to do it so I could learn more about how our government works. I was too nervous to volunteer, until they got their first 14 delegates and started going into alternates. I finally got the courage to raise my hand. Then they made us say who we were, who we were voting for, and our reasoning. I actually got in front of everyone and gave my little speech. I was voted as one of the 14 delegates and will be attending the county convention on February 23rd. Yeah.

Congrats Candace! I had to go to the caucus by myself and was so nervous too. That’s great that you will get to go to the next step too. Let us know what happens.
