Riding the teacup at the lamest Northern Alabama Fair that was actually a carnival. I had high hopes of an authentic fair with tiger ears, booths, fair-rats, animals etc. no it was not the Blackfoot fair like I expected. We did have fun on a few rides. That one cost 9 dollars. what a rush.

Ellie Bellie boo boo.
well, things have calmed down quite a bit here. After 10 days of late nights playing X-box, watching movies, playing Settlers of Catan, (I won of course!!), and showing Ryan and Natalie the sights, we are finally getting more sleep!! We had a great time and are sad that they had to go back to real life in a Hurricane zone.
an update on my family: Anne's house was destroyed. She lost all of her belongings except her scrapbooks, kids, husband and dog. She is staying with my family in Idaho for a few months till the Island and (her house) are cleaned up somewhat.
Meredith is staying in Houston working at the House of Blues. She lost her car but is getting a good insurance check so she's been car shopping.
Ryan and Natalie are staying with her parents in Southeast Houston and probably will for a while till they get back on their feet. Natalie is back to school and work and Ryan is working for an Electrician till school and his job on the Island restarts.
Thank you for your prayers and concerns. love you all.

Cute girls at the fair! I love being able to "see" you through your blog. I am so sypmatetic for your family memebers who were affected by the hurricane. Also, by the way, I wanted to tell you that the engineering firm I used to work at could use help. Do you have a time frame in mind? My brother in law said that Jaron should email him and they could figure out more details!!
I am glad to hear that all of your family is alright~ what a horrible thing to have to go through.
I had the same disappointing experience at the Louisiana State Fair which actually was a carnival..You're not out west anymore! Love your pictures. Keep us up-dated on your fam. We're going to the mission reunion and I'll be thinking of you.
