Homeward Bound - Thanks to all

By Rep. Robbie Wills

Sitting in the Denver Airport waiting for the plane trip home, feeling very thankful for this experience.

I'm thankful for my good friend Steve Harrelson for not only letting me contribute to the blog this week, but also for putting up with me as a roommate and fellow traveler. It was an honor to be your cub reporter.

I'm thankful for my traveling companions this week: Steve, Robin Carroll, Bob Edwards, Brandon Robinson, Jamie Darling, Krystal Thrailkill, Maggie Compton, Craig Stone and Land Commissioner Mark Wilcox. Thanks for sharing the expense of a rental van and for all the laughs. My side hurts.

I'm thankful for the wonderful staff of the Democratic Party of Arkansas. I am in awe of each of you for your professionalism and leadership. You are each very special to all of us and we are all very proud of you.

I'm thankful for all the delegates from Arkansas: from Gov. Beebe, Rebecca Gwatney, Dustin McDaniel through all the Clinton and Obama pledged delegates, this delegation handled a difficult week with class and honor. I've never been more proud to be an Arkansas Democrat.

I'm thankful for a great ticket, Barack Obama and Joe Biden, who made a believer out of me this week.

Most of all I'm thankful to be going home to my wonderful wife Dana and our 6 year old daughter Rylee. They are the reason I do my best to serve the public in an honorable way. They make it all worth while and I can't wait to be home!

This was a great experience all the way around and I'm so glad I was able to be here. Thank you for reading. If I can ever be of srvice to any of you, please don't hesitate to contact me: rwills@cyberback.com, (501) 730-4677. See you soon!
