STATE FAIR WHOO!

I decide to title this entry "State Fair Whoo" for a very fun/embarrassing/hilarious reason. A few years ago, Ryan went to the fair with some friends and they repeatedly would say "State Fair Whoo". You have to actually hear it to know how hilarious it actually sounds when my no-shame husband yells it at the top of his lungs! He also decided it was time to bring out the Midland accent. OH. DEAR.

So we obviously went to the fair recently. We chose Friday night...thinking it wouldn't be too crowded. WRONG. Ryan LOVES to embarrass me, so every few minutes the ENTIRE evening, he would randomly yell "state fair whoo" loudly and in the most country accent you can imagine. Some people looked at me and laughed as I turned BRIGHT RED, some were startled by this, and some almost looked at him with pitty due to his "special-ness". lol- ooooooooh this is one of HUNDREDS of reasons I love this man SO much.

We went on THE night that Josh Turner played, as well as M.C. Hammer. I cant begin to describe to you the moment that "Cant Touch This" began to play. It was as if the fair turned into a musical and EVERYONE started doing the same dance (or dances) including the running-man, the Roger Rabbit, and something hilarious where you move side to side quickly. Im sure there is an actual term for this! Anyways, THAT was fun. Oh, did I mention Ryan could have been a professional dancer on stage with the moves he busted out. My stomach literally was hurting from laughing so hard.

We ate our weight in food. No- seriously. we did! Lets see....Indian Taco, Corn, Cheese-on-a-stick, Cheese steak sandwich, Chocolate Covered Bacon (NASTY), aaannnnd....ok I think that's it. But still- neither of us could get our rings off that night due to all the swelling from so much sodium! Yikes! We had a BLAST though- we aren't ride-riders, so we mainly just enjoyed the buildings, the shopping, and of course- the people watching. We had a game- whoever could count the most cowboy boots worn by girls with dresses on (Evidently this is the new style- I didnt get the memo), Affliction-shirt-wearing men, and mullets, had to clean the bathrooms on Saturday! Needless to say, there were too many to count so we stopped the game to focus on enjoying the night together.

Saturday was once again- CLEANING DAY. We began with a yummy power sandwich from Panera Bread, then the project- mode began. Lawn, laundry, and the entire house. We then ended the evening by having dinner with our good friends Trish and Rod at Bin 73, and hanging out them for a while afterwards. We ALWAYS have a blast with them! Very laid back, lots of laughter, very encouraging, and we always end up staying out WAY too late just talking with them.

Sunday- I met for breakfast with Katherine, a girl I met through SWITCH (Wednesday night Youth event at our church). Katherine is amazing....we are going through the book of Isaiah together, and also reading through Beth Moore's book "So Long Insecurity." This girl absolutely blows me away- I physically WATCHED her get into a minor wreck last night in a brand new vehicle....her response: "This didn't take God by surprise." Wow...what a strong faith! Im so excited for our Sunday morning breakfasts....I think I will learn so much from being around such a Godly young woman.

Sunday evening was the Avett Brothers Concert at the Coca Cola Events Center. Extremely FUN concert, but lasted SO long that we were exhausted by 10:45 and HAD to leave. Makes me feel very old, as I used to have no problem functioning on 3 hours of sleep in college!

Well, that about sums up my weekend.....Boot Camp starts next week with some awesome girls from Life Church! Im so excited to work out with them, and get in (what I like to call) pre-pregnancy shape. Dont worry- it will still be a little while, but I MUST get in shape before it DOES happen! :)

Oh! one last fun bit of news....honeymoon to St. Lucia will be booked by Friday! Our first true vacation together! The Countdown begins....
