Over the weekend Dan and I participated in the Republican Convention at the Salt Palace. Being the chairman of Utah's Young Republicans, Dan was responsible for a booth. Which in turn meant that I was responsible for a booth ;) Dan made a comment while we were coming up with ideas of what to do, that he wished he had a celebrity to stand in our booth to draw attention. That gave birth to my idea of doing Republican Idols.
Dan spoke to the crowd of over 3000 people to give a report on his auxiliary. He did a great job!
Lots of fun. It was all the more enjoyable (for me at least) that we weren't openly supporting any one candidate. It made us friends with everyone. What can I say, I like being liked.
Meet Daniel and Brittany
The challenge that began with "Have a nice life, Daniel Burton" is progressing with favorable results. Surviving and thriving on lively discussions about books, Abby, or the post-grad school world, the Burtons show signs of excellent health and familial success.
Dan and Britt met on a hot July 4th in 2005. Shortly after inviting her to join him for a panoramic view of the Independence Day fireworks, and not long after her denial, Daniel and Britt agreed to break the ice over ice cream. They soon realized that they were both book geeks, decided a permanent union was worth evaluating, and were married just over a year later on another beautiful July day.
After graduating with a law degree from both he and Brittany's alma mater's rival, Daniel is corporate counsel at the Woodbury Corporation, a commercial real estate management and development company in Salt Lake City. Meanwhile, and far more interestingly, Brittany is raising a new generation of Burtons as full-time mother and family creative director. Abby is two and a half, and #2 is on the way, with arrival expected in late June of 2011. The Burtons look forward to many years of exploring canyons, creeks, and mountain tops, swapping novels, notes, and ideas, and enjoying great discussions about people, politics, and their family.
Daniel and Brittany are both graduates of the 2002 class of Brigham Young University. Abby is gunning to graduate from diapers, sooner than later.

I love it! You're so clever- it's perfect.
I'm glad you had fun- I can totally understand enjoying it more when you're not campaigning- I don't think you should get too used to that.
Dan is the man! I'm sure you've got a lot of campaigning in your future!
