Hey #TeamPete, I was going to do some really long thread talking about all my feelings about working on Pete for America.
But I think what would be better here would be just a bunch of photos and thoughts about them/those moments.
Here we go!

My first day in South Bend HQ. I was only 2 days removed from driving 11 hours straight in a U-Haul with @laurievanhall and moving into our apartment together.
First week -- and my first time really meeting and talking to the video team. This picture of @gina_reis with @ItsGarret& #39;s massive dog really topped a lovely afternoon.
Nash was such a good boy! I believe we named him Director of Goodboys or DoG in this moment. Thanks for sharing him @bucaciuca! #WoofTheEra
Captured this moment when our team stopped everything to watch Nancy Pelosis announcement of the opening of the impeachment inquiry into Donald Trump.
More @thestefansmith being Stefan, bopping to the "Impeachment" song (to the tune of Fergalicious), and of course asking if I got the #content.
On a rainy weekend, a bunch of us gathered in the #IvyDorm common room and played Smash. This was a great night.
Then there was the first time Pete came to address the whole team at Corby& #39;s. I have video of this, but I& #39;m keeping that for myself.
The Rules of the Road that were painted onto the 2nd floor of HQ. Took this the day we opened it up and folks moved down there, including my team. I& #39;ll keep these with me forever.
I dont remember why @thestefansmith had a parasol in the office at one point, but he did and I loved it.
We attempted to create a running group at PFA. We had a couple of successful runs, but it quickly dissipated as it got colder/busier. This was probably our best showing, & it was a lot of fun. @ssbrokaw @JohnDAxelrod @mayefsky
We had a few of these "5 minutes Joy events" courtesy of @SarahKoulogeor1

Probably my favorite photo that I personally took of Pete. It was at a DC grassroots event (shouts to @ravenchollins for putting that amazing event together). Pete was listening to a teenage questioner, and talked about the crisis of belonging in our country. A constant theme.
More Nash, and @abbsolutelyabbs with an afternoon cuddle sesh.
This was at the pre-LJ rally, and was one of, if not the, first time I met @Chas10Buttigieg. It was so fun to see people& #39;s reactions to seeing him in the #PeteMobile!
Speaking of the LJ, it& #39;s here where I got reunited with a friend who I legit had not seen since High School, @JuliaSherman, who was working on @CoryBooker& #39;s campaign! (also HBD Julia!)
I asked @maxwellnunes to describe the movie "Rudy", which he had never seen -- and this was his response https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đ€Ł" title="Rolling on the floor laughing" aria-label="Emoji: Rolling on the floor laughing"> https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đ€Ł" title="Rolling on the floor laughing" aria-label="Emoji: Rolling on the floor laughing">
One of the MANY times we did the High Hopes dance at Corby& #39;s. This would also be the night we cleared out Dockside of all of their White Claws.
So @laurievanhall may kill me for sharing this photo, but we were at the outlet mall and she was trying stuff on for shits and giggles, and this one in particular as a joke.
But this was also the night the DMR poll had us in first place for the first time.

OMG #PFATurkeyDay! We cooked SO. MUCH. FOOD. Including @laurievanhall doing a spatchcocked turkey, I made mashed potatoes, and @thestefansmith contributed other goodies, and so many others brought more!
My absolute best boomerang ever, featuring @modernjam and @aDAKICH.
Our holiday party was lit as hell (unlike this photo). @jess_jollie @mrhovious @laurievanhall Just days before the Iowa Caucuses, and Mike Schmuhl was with us in the bullpen texting for dollars. He was always great at keeping up morale and being there with us.
Just hours before an EOQ deadline, and Mike Schmuhl was with us in the bullpen texting for dollars. He was always great at keeping up morale and being there with us.
