The Fair

A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO MICHAEL AND I WERE ABLE TO GO MEET MOM, DAD, PAUL, AND KELLIE AT THE SC STATE FAIR. THE SIX OF US HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO SEE EACH OTHER REALLY SINCE WE HAVE ALL GOTTEN MARRIED, SO WE WERE SUPER EXCITED TO BE ABLE TO SEE THEM. DAD DECIDED THIS YEAR THAT HE WAS GOING TO TAKE TWO WEEKS OFF TO GO WORK AT THE FAIR WITH HIS FRIENDS. SUPRISINGLY, WHEN WE SAW DAD, WE THOUGHT HE WOULD BE TIRED AND WORN DOWN. HOWEVER, HE WAS HAPPY AS A LARK, AND LOOKED YOUNG EVEN THOUGH HE HAD WORKED FOURTEEN HOUR DAYS. MICHAEL AND I GOT THERE AROUND LUNCH TIME AND WE ATE SOME LUNCH. THEN WE WALKED AROUND WITH MOM LOOKING AT THE DIFFERENT EXHIBITS. KELLIE AND PAUL GOT THERE ABOUT THREE AND WE TACKLED THEM WHEN WE SAW THEM. OH, HOW I HAVE MISSED MY BROTHER AND NOW HIS BEAUTIFUL, KELLIE. THEY ARE SO CUTE AND GOD HAS GOT SOME AMAZING THINGS IN STORE FOR THEM. WE ATE SOME MORE AND FINISHED OFF THE NIGHT WITH A RIDE ON THE FERRIS WHEEL. IT WAS SO MUCH FUN!!! AT THE FERRIS WHEEL, MICHAEL AND I SAW FRIENDS FROM GREENWOOD WHO I WENT TO SCHOOL WITH (CHARLOTTE, SANDY, AND SHERI). THEY WERE SO AWESOME! IT WAS LIKE WE PICKED UP WHERE WE LEFT OFF WHEN WE SAW THEM. AFTER A WONDERFUL EVENING OF SEEING EXIBITS, CATCHING EVERY LITTLE SHOW, AND WATCHING THE COW SHOWMANSHIP, IT WAS TIME TO SAY GOODBYE. THE NEXT TIME WE WILL SEE THEM IS WHEN WE GO TO THE BUILTMORE HOUSE AND GROVE PARK INN FOR CHRISTMAS. HOW EXCITED AM I!!!
