Day in the Life of Me

Homecomming week

So this week has been fun. I love homecoming for one reason people are so funny to watch.
For SIFE we decided to enter a float in the parade. LOL it was a blast. We decide that our theme would be “She thinks my tractor is sexy” so we borrowed mom and Bill’s little john Deer mower for our float.
So Dave and Brandon (two of the other officers) and I went out to mom’s house to get the mover the boys thought they would be able to lift the mover into the back of the truck, Um it did not happen. It was funny to see them try though. So then we decided to go back into town to get the trailer (we borrowed it from a business in town.) So then we got back out to my house and the trailer is still connected to the truck but there is a pin and laver so that the front of the trailer can lift up so you can drive things onto it. Well the only problem is the front is to heavy so Brandon and I stood on the back to hold it down while Dave backed the mover up and then charged onto the trailer… funny thing is he had no idea how to put the break on so every time he took his foot off the gas he rolled backwards (the trailer is still at an angle with me standing on the end holding it up unknown to me) so I am hollering to Dave to stop and Brandon is hollering to me to jump off, and Dave is laughing so hard he can’t do anything. We eventually get the trailer down and do not drive off the end. It was great fun, and so funny we laughed the whole way back to town.
So on Thursday we went over to Dave’s house and decorated the rest of the trailer. Basically all we did was add a few bales of hay to the sides and paint SIFE on some boxes.
Saturday we set up the rest of our float. We borrowed a truck form the local car dealership in town and hooked up our float. We took yellow window paint and wrote out our theme on the back window and down the side of the truck, and SIFE across the front windshield and side windows.
Then on Saturday afternoon Chris and I had a wedding to go to in a town about an hour away. It was a lot of fun but a little different. They have this tradition up here that after the dinner the groomsmen “steal” the bride and take her to one of the bars for drinks and the bridesmaids do the same with the groom for about a half an hour. While they are gone everyone helps clean up from dinner and they set up for a dance that goes way into the night. It was a lot of fun, and a neat experience. (Although I am not sure about the drinking I would have to have soda but it still sounds fun.)
Well that is all I have been up to this week. I hope you all are doing well! Love ya!
