Wow.
Tags:Wow. Wow. Wow. That's all I can say.
Amazing. Wonderful. Awesome. Ok, there's a couple more words.
Thank you for all the kind & enthusiastic comments and well wishes.
This is such a huge deal. Being a political newcomer and beating an incumbent is really tough. Chris worked so very long and hard for this with the support of such an amazing staff - I am so proud of him and all the people who helped make this a reality. And I am even more excited about the work that he will be beginning now - such an amazing opportunity to do good.
Today we are taking a deep breath. We are celebrating. We are planning. We are smiling.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Very happy for you. Just please, please as the wife of a politician, don't get a puffy hairdo and start wearing a suit with ugly heels. You can't let this political victory do THAT to you! Ha!

You and Chris look: ecstatic, overjoyed, tired, slightly overwhelmed, just plain happy.
I've looked to you as a great example of what I want to be as a scrapbooker. Now I look forward to watching you and your family grow through this wonderful new opportunity.
And your hair? VERY cute.

Congratulations...as a fellow Oregonian (and republican no less! :) I have to say that Chris crossed the division between the parties to reach to the heart of what politics should really be about...making a change...and I believe he will and therefore, he got my support, and my vote, because in the end...its the integrity of the person that wins for me....nothing less! GO CHRIS EDWARDS!!! T

how fabulously awesome! I hope the two of you can continue to be the voice for so many who don't always get listened to in the political system - those with disabilities, special needs, the poor, the elderly... We need so many more energetic people to be willing to put themselves out there for a life of public service instead of a life of self-serving. Best wishes to all of you.
