Birthday greetings to First Lady Maureen McDonnell

First Lady Maureen McDonnell - April 29, 2011

As a Redskins cheerleader in the 1970s.
Virginia's First Couple.

When Maureen Gardner said, "I do," to Bob McDonnell, she had no idea the places she would go. As a Washington Redskins cheerleader at the time, it would have been easy to think of that as the highlight of her life. She's been a military wife, a mom of five, and a political partner for 33 years ... and it doesn't look as if her life or that of her husband will slow down anytime soon.

Please check out my post at the Washington Examiner with more about this amazingly energetic popular woman who we're lucky to call our First Lady. On her birthday, it offers an opportunity to take a small peek into her life.
