Here I am back in good old Union, KY tucked back in the woods watching the chickens terrorize the yard. Being home is full of mixed emotions; I loved working in our nation's capitol, making a difference in these historic, challenging, and difficult times. In Senator McConnell's office I worked in his press office where I helped write Congressional Records, file press releases, and compose the daily press clips. In Senator McConnell's office I worked with a great duo in the press office and other very talented young people "across the hall." The interns I worked with in the Senator's office are also of a magnificent quality and I expect great achievements from each of them.
After six weeks I made my way over to the House of Representatives where I had the privileged of working for Congressman Brett Guthrie. In Congressman Guthrie's office I helped answer constituents correspondence and questions. I also helped get the mail folded, stuffed, and sent everyday. Along with the variety of meaningful tasks that I carried out, I got to participate in a tele-town hall where the congressman spoke to some 3,000 constituents on the phone at one time. In Congressman Guthrie's office I worked with a great team including the Congressman. During my tenure with Guthrie it was always fun and exciting working with Nan Natcher.
When everyone asks which one I enjoyed more, I can honestly say neither because they were such different experinces it would be like comparing apples and oranges. However when asked what was my favorite experience up there, I can say that being in the Rotunda for the Ronald Reagan Statue unveiling was the most memorable event. Next in line would be seeing the fireworks on the National Mall on July 4th.
With this post I would like to say that the Gnome is not going away, rather changing his direction and goals. You will see more of him.
In the coming future I will be attending a few GOP meetings around and then I will be reporting in to Peace Ford Tower (PFT) at WKU for RA fall training.

"where I had the privileged of working"
Oh Shane, how many grammar lessons must I give you? Privileged is the past form of privilege. It should say "where I had the privilege of working". Sorry I'm a grammar nazi, but it happens lol.
Good blog though. July 4th was pretty amazing, wasn't it?
That's why I love ya babe, someone has to watch for my typos when my mom is slackin... lol I probably should read things before I post them.
4th was awesome! wouldn't have traded it for the world.
