Fort Worthers abound at Inauguration

It's quickly becoming a family and Fort Worth friends reunion here! Had dinner Sunday night with lots of family and friends. The buzzing excitement can be felt everywhere we go!

This morning, my aunt, Deborah, braved the long lines to wait for our inauguration tickets. I joined her, and together we saw lots of Fort Worth residents also lining up for tickets. Eastside activist Regina Blair was there with her mother and sister. We also saw City of Fort Worth Economic Development director Jay Chapa with his wife. (See photo)

Also here is an old family friend, Travis Parmer, who reported that he drove the whole way here on his own!

Special thanks to members of Congress Dr. Michael Burgess, Kay Granger and Kevin Brady for our inauguration tickets. We also received the programs, which are absolutely amazing! My mum and I started crying again when we looked at them.The fact that an African-American will soon take the oath of office for the highest office in the land is still too awesome to comprehend.
