Day 8: Parades and yet another important Anniversary.

25 years as of today my parents have been married. I can say that I'm surprised they made it this long with so many times of me seeing them bicker and fight, but I also know that there were many times I could tell they love each other. So, what can I say, Happy 25th to my mom and dad.

My day was slow but full. I worked from 1130 till 6 when I originally was only supposed to work from 1130-3. One of my coworkers had to leave early for something, so she asked me If I could stay to help out. I agreed figuring money was money. I worked in the kitchen as usual. I got off work and had a text from my mom asking when I was coming home. I said I was heading home right now. She replied "we are getting ready to go to the parade, do you want to come with?" I said yea because I wanted to support my friend who got Miss Blueberry and would be riding in the parade. I got home and change my clothes and we headed out to watch some of the parade. The parade was supposed to last for 1.5 hours, but we only stayed until we got to see my friend and yell and wave at her. We then made our way over to the actual fair part of the festival. We looked for my youth pastor because he was supposed to be selling dish at a booth. We found him and talked for a bit and headed over to get some food at a sit down tent, which was being sponsored by the Fire Dept. I got some corn on the cob and my parents got other stuff. My mom and I had finished eating before my dad so we went and looked around at the fair rides and stuff. We made our rounds and headed back to my dad who was just finishing up. WE left the fair and walked back home.

As we were walking back my brother txted my mom asking her and dad to come over. So, we got home and got in the car and drove over there. This was the first time I have been to the house since they bought it, and the first time I would be seeing the inside of the house. We arrived at the house and I got a little tour. My parents were given a card from my brother for their anniversary. We stayed and chatted and left just before 10. Then I came home and that is where I'm at.

I hope to read a little of that book tonight, I'm to page 150, I was wanting to finish it, but as the hour is getting late, I don't think I will tonight.

Love in Christ, Jo
