Thanks Christine! I keep thinking things might get better and then they just get worse. And ironically, our family life is going really well right now, which makes for more cognitive dissonance (in fact, I might write about that next!)

Alas, I saw Obama and Michelle dance on a stage and that was about it. I did get to briefly meet Michelle later as part of my job... I can't say we had an opportunity for an in-depth conversation but she is an absolutely incredible woman!
