We went to the fair

20120827-220236.jpg

Friday nights, for a while now, has been the “go to Yia Yia and Papa’s house” (my parent’s) night. This week was a little different as (1) I had 2 hours of sleep in 36 hours and (2) My parent’s church had a booth at the county fair.

So me and the two littles went with Yia Yia and Papa to the fair. Annnd of course Papa spoiled them rotten (lots of candy, rides, and games — pretty much anything she asked for :)). I’m pretty sure we were there all of 20 minutes before Els and my dad disappeared. I figured they’d be gone for 30 minutes, hour tops. Nope. 2 1/2 later they finally came back — with a Nemo fish (not live) and a glow wand.

E fell asleep with both (and has every night since then — can’t go to sleep without Nemo!)I love special Papa’s that spoil my kids rotten.

Mom, Drew, and I had a great visit time with another sweet lady from my parent’s church while passing out waters, tracks, and getting people to sign up for a family night movie basket. Fun fun stuff.

Do you enjoy your county fair?

That was twelve years ago... and I almost listened That was twelve years ago... and I almost listened. 

I’m really glad I didn’t. To be honest, this person wasn’t wrong. At the time I wasn’t very good at writing. It was early on in my career. Hearing that I should give up was a punch to my gut and I had two choices. 

I could listen, and not write ever again.

OR

I could buckle down and get better. 

I chose to get better. I still don’t think I’ve “arrived” but I am a lot better than I was then. 

So this is me telling you — don’t ever stop dreaming, don’t ever stop learning, and don’t take bad advice. 

You got this. I’m cheering for you.
