Big and Rich

Wow. Might I say that the Porter County Fair has really upped its quality recently? Betsey and I went to an amazing Big and Rich show (the only downside was that we couldn't line dance...chairs were EVERYWHERE...but everyone stood up so that was ok) that ended in a late-night migration to DC's. Where we most definitely could line dance. I say migration because Big and Rich announced they were headed out to DC's that night and TONS of people from the show decided to head there as well. I have never seen DC's so crowded! There was a line out the door to get in. But there was plenty of space out on the dance floor, so Betsey and I had a blast! I got to shake Cowboy Troy's hand and stood within two feet of John Rich as he entered DC's. We have some great pictures of John Roch performing onstage at DC's. Amazing!

We also headed to a rodeo at the fair...that was a lot of fun! It was more of a performance than an actual competition, but it was great just the same! We have pictures from that as well. As soon as we get them off of the ancient film camera we were using, I can try to show them to you.

I am entering my last two weeks of work at USG. Then I have a couple of days off and it is off to Rose for volleyball preseason. I am half excited and half dreading the end of my summer. I love summer SOOO much!

I have made some trips to the beach. On the last one, the riptide was so strong and the waves were huge! I couldn't head straight back to the beach, I had to go back diagonally and walk back up the beach. It was amazing! It felt so good.

Well, I'm off...it's the weekend! I posted just before leaving work so you people with anger issues can relax a little and have something to read. And so I don't have to post again until I am back at Rose. Later, y'all!

*Edit* Let me just add...WOULD EVERYONE STOP FIRING INTO CROWDED HIGHWAYS THAT I TAKE TO WORK EVERY DAY???!!! Please? These goll-durn snipers are getting on my nerves. While they all seem to have bad aim and worse motives, I still would rather not run into one of their bullets while making my way to work one day. I guess driving lickety-split and slightly erratically is the best way to minimize myself as a target. Good thing I've been practicing for a few years now. They'll never get me when I turn on my evasive action! Ok, off to bed. Muah!

You are a funny writer - keep it up. We pray for your safety all the time. A few more days and you are done working anyway. Rose here you come!

There was another incident about the time you were posting your update. The police are thinking it is a BB or pellet gun. Windows keep ketting broken, but there are no bullet holes, bullets or casings to be found.

Well, that is reassuring (it will just sting a little). Yikes.

Sounds like the fair didn't get better, but that you just lowered your standards (country music / line dancing), so you fit in better with the rest of the rednecks.

: - )

Welp...thanks for updating, anyway.

You know that movie you were looking for? The one with Johnny Depp and Christopher Walken? It's called Nick of Time. Yeah, umm, who's the greatest friend you could ever have? Sorry, you'll have to speak up, I can't hear you. Ha, I'm just playin', kid. But, yeah, just thought I'd pass that info on to you. Later!

CRAP. I showed Mom and Dad and Kristen the pictures tonight, and I told them all that it was Big Kenny. And I was so sure I had it right. Me = failure.

Grrrrr.
