State Fair!

Chicken fried bacon

Yes, you see correctly...I had to do a double take myself! It is BBQ Bologna!!!

Grilled alligator, fried ribs, fried coke, fried latte, fried cheesecake, fried pickle, fried cheese gurds, fried grilled cheese sandwich, fried PBJ&B.............you see what I mean?????

State Fair cont.

This was quite an adventure!! Notice the "ambulance" in the picture. Stephen got stung by something. Shelley stopped at one of the little police officers and he called this to come and assist Stephen. We were standing there and heard a siren. I thought to myself, OH MY GOODNESS HOW EMBARRASSING!!!! :)

Good ole' Fletcher's CORNY dogs!! You see, Stephen and I have this major conflict going as to whether it is a corn dog or corny dog. I just proved it to him!!! :)

Deep Fried Latte! We will deep fry anything in Texas!!! :)

Stars Mania

Stephen went to the Dallas Stars Season Ticket event with his friend the other night. He got to meet several of the players and have his picture taken with them. He was in hog heaven!!

stuff

Lots of things going on....

My nephew got his cast off today!! His foot is so straight, Praise God!

I can't wait until this weekend! My family is coming to visit and I can't wait!!!

My mom quit smoking 10 days ago cold turkey and hasn't picked up a cigarette since. Another praise!!! I am so very proud of her. She has been smoking since her 20's and she is nearly 60. She did it for us. You can't talk someone into giving up an addiction until THEY are ready, but I am so happy for her!!

We are getting ready for our new nephew. My sister and I are giving her a shower in November. I was printing invites last night and forgot the most important part....the part that it's a boy!!! :) That just shows where my mind has been lately!!!

We're on round 2 of fertility drugs. We are praying for the Lord's will but we want a baby so bad, so Lord, that is the desire of our hearts. I look around and see pregnant people every day and I think it's just not fair. But I take comfort in the fact that I know the Lord knows what is best and His timing will be perfect.

So, that's all for now. Stephen just grilled me a yummy smelling steak, so I'm off to indulge in that. :)

names...

As a teacher, I have come across some pretty strange names. Yet, I don't think any can come close to being as weird as this one. Le-a. At first I was thinking Leah or Lea. Nope. Ledasha. Poor child. According to mom, "the dash don't be silent." Hmmm.....things that make you go hmmmm.........

R & R

We traveled to Little Rock this weekend to meet up with Stephen's parents. It happens to be a pretty good half way point for both of us. We are really enjoying getting to spend time with them. Sippi always loves getting extra attention too! :)

Getting here was a little bit of an adventure though. Last night on the way, the interstate was closed due to 2 18 wheelers colliding. It was pretty bad and one person died as a result. We were sittiing on the interstate for an extra 1 1/2 hours. Not too fun. The car was shut off and we were sitting ducks. But, what is an extra 1 1/2 hours of my life when one person lost theirs and someone is without a son/husband/daddy today. I prayed for their family.

We'll head back tomorrow. I am off on Monday for Fair Day. Woohoo!! I can't wait to see my friend Amanda and her daughter on Monday. I haven't seen them in a long time.

It sure felt good to take a 3 hour nap today!!!

story to warm your heart!

I have a little girl who is autistic in my room this year. Love her to death!!! She will be one that makes me cry at the end of the year! Anyways..for the first few weeks of school, she didn't play with anyone. She loves to play with chalk and do hopscotch at recess. The other day some of my other girls joined her. She stopped playing long enough to come to me and she said, "Mrs. Wright, I HAVE FRIENDS!!!" Talk about warm your heart!! I just sat there watching her play with her friends and cried!!!!
