I met the Governor




So I met Governor Jon Huntsman Jr. the other day. During the meeting he asked me to be his lieutenant governor but I was like, “Jon…Don’t you think it’s a little late to put my name on the ballot? Besides that Gary Herbert seems like a nice guy, I hate to put him out on the street like that.” And he was like..."yeah, you’re right…never mind."

Seriously though, I did meet him. See the pictures. I went to a ground breaking ceremony for an exciting new road and he spoke at it. Since I was there for work, I asked him a question and he answered it. Not that big of a deal, but it was pretty cool. Nice guy, lots of botox.

Unfortunately I was having a bad hair day.

Sorry about your hair. I doubt he cared, though. No offense. Why is he undressing as he talks to you?

It looks like he wants you to be more than his Lt. Governor.

misty- i believe kristin just has that effect on people. next time you hang out with her, listen closely. i swear you'll hear the song lyrics "it's getting hot in here, so take off all your clothes..."
really, though, i was wondering the very same thing. was he going to show you all the places he had botox done?

The weird thing is...I totally didn't notice that he took his coat off during our conversation. But pictures don't lie, so I guess that's how it went down. I got the gov to take his clothes off.

i love the direction that these comments have taken...

Its not... OH wow Kristin... you met the Governor....how cool... no... its all about the governor stripping in front of you. that just cracks me up!

Randy thinks you are a crack up. He laughed very hard. You have an awesome job. You have gotten to meet some great people, first Gordo and now Jon.

Well good for you. I am sure you looked great. And by the way I am not a chicken, I have three very Beautiful daughters.

The Tharps said...

That is so cool. I think that is great. I really like him so it is good to hear he is a nice guy.

Bob said...

So.....what was your question and how did he answer it????

The Davies said...

Kristin!! Are you insaane?!? Why would you turn down such a great offer?!

Ohh..was it like for the same reason that Julia Roberts wouldn't stay with Richard Gere in Pretty Woman at the end of the movie when he offers to put her up in a really nice condo?

It's got to be on YOUR terms...
Well played...well played INDEED...

You wouldn't want to overshadow him anyway.
