The biggest worry that I had when Barack was elected, it wasn't the difficulty of the job. It wasn't the strain or the hardship or the threats or all the things you might imagine. I worried about my girls. I worried about moving them out of what was the only community and home they had ever known where my brother was down the street and my mom was picking them up from school.

I mean, we had a really wonderful life in Chicago. And I thought, I'm gonna do the worst thing to these kids. And they were seven and 10. second grade and fifth grade.

So while we're transitioning, trying to hire staff and come up with the initiatives and Barack is building his cabinet, I'm thinking I got to get these kids in a school where they're not going to just be any kids. They're going to be kids with secret service. You know, I just couldn't wrap my arms around how to make this feel good for them.

So this summer, we had a wonderful occasion happen in our family. It was our eldest son's wedding. The resort we stayed at had about 500 homes, and we were able to Airbnb one of the homes there. And it was a guest favorite home. And what that is, is that's one of a collection of 2 million homes that are the most loved in the Airbnb collection based on ratings, reviews, and reliability. And

Our son, yes, the one who is getting married, wanted to make a cake as a tribute to my mom, his grandma, who had just passed away. And I get choked up when I think about it, the fact that he wanted to do that. Well, not only did he want to make it, he wanted his little brothers who are 14 and 12 to help him make it. And our daughter, who's 28, was sort of supervising the whole thing.
