The Start

Stock Show - Like fair, but 2 hours away from my house, tons more people, there is a carnival, and its the first week of June.

Needless to say, I had a blast. I had a pig, his name was Dill, and he was a good pig. Together, Dill and I got second place in conformation, and had a pretty good week. 

But thats all boring. 

Alright. So I didn't get the millions of photos I wanted to get, but I forgot my camera and had to use one of my friends phones. As you can seen though, the Union sky is amazing. We had one day of nice warm weather, and the rest, it was cold and rainy. Did that stop us from going to The Stop Light to get Elephant Ear ice cream? HECK NO! My friend, Hannah, and I walked like, everywhere. We walked to the parade, and we walked around the small town. It was really beautiful. I'm sorry that I didn't get pictures of the buildings and houses, because they were amazing. I met a ton of new people. Cinch, Ty, Monte, Austin, and a bunch more! I also got to see old friends like Carson and Sam and Dylan. We walked around the fair and talked. It was uber neat to be able to catch up with them. 

We also met some really cool people with amazing stories. (or just made some with really cool people) 

My friend Hannah were walking around (for aesthetic photos I could use on my blog) when we met a guy named Jon. He had been traveling the whole world since a young age. He knew 15 languages and was working on the 16th, Russian! The languages he did know included Italian, German, Mandren, French, British English (aka proper English) and a ton more that I don't remember. 

Hannah is also to thank for my new blog. She was defending me against a kid (who later decided we were cool, and hung out with us) and said "your just jealous because your not on the Georgia Side of things" and then all of a sudden, we spent a lot of time creating a blog about the Georgia side of things, and thats when she finally found out that I actually did have a blog. Thank you Hannah, Love you <3

We also met these two really cute old ladies. Every night, they would sit in their truck bed by the entrance for the trailer park that everyone stayed in for the week, and they would just watch. Well it also just so happened that Hannah's brother and his group of friends had the same number as our little group. Four each. Ty, one of the people I met, had a crush on one of the girls, so the old ladies took it upon themselves to help match them up. By the end of the week, the two were together, and the old ladies were beaming. It was a really fun and awesome story, but I just don't have time to write it down. We also learned how to rope, (thank you Ty, Malachi, and Cinch), pretended to be little kids at a parade where we each made away with a bag of candy (and I got a hat! Thank you, random dude who threw me that hat!), and tons of really fun memories and laughs. 

By the end of the week, Jacob and I had barley seen each other. We were exhausted, but both of us had such a blast. It was a really good way to start out our summer, even if the temperature didn't get above 60 the whole week! 

The art of a selfie, mastered. 

I'm really excited to share more of my summer with all of you guys, including VBS this week, and OSU summer conference. Camps, and retreats. Maybe some fun around the lake? Who knows! 

Who are you when your done being everyone else?
