Andrew meets the President......Jo

Does this look like someone who just met the President?????

I finally got to talk to Andrew tonight and heard the story on the White House experience. On the 4th of July, a 1000 military and their families were honored & treated to a barbeque on the White House lawn. Andrew was invited to attend with one of his Marines that he wrote up for best non commissioned officer. During the barbeque Andrew went along with 20 other Marines who were specially invited into the Blue Room to have a private chat with Obama and Michelle. Andrew "thought" he was supposed to go in but he wasn't actually on the official list, but whoever was at the door just said, well you're here now so you might as well go in. Typical Andrew luck and charm or something. Anyway, he said it was surreal, met Malia and Sasha as well as chatted with Michelle and the President. Go figure. And the biggest thing was he got a coin from the President!!!! So trumps mine from Peter Pace from a few years back. Hmmmm. Now I'm going to have to hear about that forever. I must say that it's rather exciting to have someone in your family be able to say they've met the President. Crazy. The downside is that he didn't even tell Michelle that I want to do retreats with military women. Damn him. (I think he was a little dazed)

What a crazy world we're living in. Something about it, though, seems ridiculously natural and normal. That's our Andrew for you.
