A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies. -- Proverbs 31:10
Todd
High-school sweethearts, Todd & Sarah eloped after college in 1988, and celebrated their 20th anniversary last fall on the campaign trail!
Todd (also known as "First Dude") is a proud native Alaskan (Yup'ik) and oil field production operator on the North Slope. He is an advocate for workforce development and vocational training, and a youth sports coach. Todd is also a four-time champion snowmachine racer in the Iron Dog, a 2,000 mile trek from Wasilla to Nome to Fairbanks.
Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value. She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life...Her husband is respected at the city gate, where he takes his seat among the elders of the land. -- Proverbs 31:11-12, 23
The Kids
Oldest son Track, 19, enlisted in the US Army on September 11, 2007, and is currently serving in Iraq with the 1st Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division.

LOL! Awwwww...
Youngest son Trig, 10 months, is the adorable special needs infant that Todd & Sarah welcomed into their family last April 2008.
Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: 'Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all.' -- Proverbs 31:28-29
