Where has the summer gone? I guess I don't have much to complain about because I've been saying all summer that I'm ready for school to start again. Still, September 6th is a little scary.
Today I'm working in across the border. Of course the day my boss lets me go somewhere else, there's actually fire to fight at home. Oh well. It's good practice for the rookies. :)
The first week of August we hosted my favorite youth group from WA again!!!!!!!! Oh how I absolutely loved seeing them and hanging out!!! They actually run our VBS program for us which is awesome. My mom is our church secretary and I know that she doesn't need the added stress. When the WA group is here, everyone has a blast. We were sad to see them go, but email and texting is very nice.
This weekend was our county fair. Oh my goodness am I tired!!! I could sleep for a week. But work calls, and so I am working today after a VERY full weekend. My
mom is the treasurer of the Market Sale Committee here in our small
town, and I have had the privilege to help her for the past 3 years. This year we went all out and gave her office a MUCH NEEDED makeover. We started preparing for the fair about a month ago. I can say that without a doubt all of our hard efforts and long days paid off. We had a very good fair with very few
issues!
This past Saturday I had the extreme privilege of co-opening for the CMT New Artist of the Year 2011 Awardee THE BAND PERRY!!!! Wow. That's pretty much all I can say. It was awesome, nerve wracking, and almost made me throw up, but overall I'm very glad I did it. No performance is perfect, and this one certainly wasn't, but it was something I am proud of. :) I did it, and that's what really matters.
I also got to babysit my favorite kids this weekend. Last
night was a great night of giving Miss B shoulder rides and feeding the
horses apples and helping the boys with their roping. Gosh, I love those kids. I had their mother as a teacher in high school, and I've been babysitting them during fair for 4 or 5 years now I think. Which is crazy!
