Mi Español


     It’s been a slow boring weekend for work, which is nice, but not so nice at the same time. Everyone is working hard for that dinero! Anyway, I’ve had some time to catch up on reading and my Spanish! Yes, I’ve been practicing Spanish for a few months now and I would like to share a little bit of what I’ve learned.  I’ll just write a basic and brief paragraph for you all.

Boring work day, cant you tell?
¡Hola!  ¿Cómo estas usted?  Yo soy muy bien. Mi familia es grande con siete niños y dos pequeños perros. Mi mama y papa amor bicicletas. Mis hermanos amor nadan, come, cocinas, corre, y mucho mas. Nosotros tenemos a blanca y azul casa. La sala de estar es verde, y la cocina es roja, y el comedor es amarillo. El dormitorios en la casa son azul, blanco, rojo, y rosado. Mis abuelos viven debajo de la calle. ¡Yo quiero mi familia mucho! ¡Adiós!

     So, I’ve learned a lot more than what I’ve written, but that’s the basic. I’m sure most of you can interpret it. It’s been a lot of fun learning Spanish. Though, it’s getting a lot more difficult.  But I’m ready for the challenge. I can’t imagine how my brother is feeling and doing with his Spanish.  I mean, c’mon, with only two months of learning the language then heading out to the foreign country to speak it?!  Crazy?!  I think so, but I know he is doing his best and the Lord is helping him. Hope you all enjoyed that!
Gorgeous sun in Othello, WA
     Well, back to the fair! We close up tonight and will take down and guess what?!  Yup, head back HOME!! Joe and I are both super excited about it.  Joe has some plans with friends and of course his football.  I also have some plans with friends too and I’m super stoked about it!  We’ve been on the road for a few months now and it’ll be great to see familiar faces other than each others.  Anyway, we’ve got a seventeen hour drive ahead of us and it’ll be a long, fun one!! Can’t wait!

Picturesque Cashmere

Here is some neat geography information for you all, The city of Cashmere is acknowledged as the geographical center of the Washington State! And Cashmere is home to an internationally famous fruit candy, fruit packing and processing industry! Pretty cool, right?! And if you drive all over Cashmere, not a very big place (the population is like 3000) but you see signs and orchards of apples everywhere!! It's a really neat and homely place, if that makes any sense.
SO, the fair! Cashmere, being small as it is, is also a small, slow fair. We got there on Tuesday to set up. We had no difficulties, besides being on uneven ground, but we handled it, as we always do. Joe got pretty sick. I'm not sure how, but it was no bueno! We did laundry, grocery shopping, you know, the typical errands to prepare for the week, then we relaxed in the RV. Joe and I like the television show called Lie to Me. It's amazing! And we pretty much watch it everyday. It's quite fun! Anyway, the fair came and went. The last day was pretty crazy though. So, this whole season being on the road there hasn't been any rain! Or wind, for that matter. But the second to last day, Saturday, there was lightning and thunder all over the place! Then rain!! It was nuts! It was towards closing time too so not many people were out, but we still had quite a bit of business coming in. I think it was to get out of the rain though, but money doesn't say 'why', so I'm not complaining. But it was pretty cool, then the wind, on Sunday. That wasn't fun at all. We took down on time, but it was just crazy and hard with the tent. But, as we always do, we handled it and everything was fine. I finished taking down the next morning and we then headed to Othello, WA. I'll give you some geographical information next blog! Anyway, after this fair we head HOME! Yay! We will be home for a couple weeks and it'll be nice! Until next time...Adventure is Out There!!

Exhausted, but Staying Strong

Joe and I spent this last week in Walla Walla, WA. Joe is such a great friend and a great help, as well! We had no problems or worries setting the wall up or working it! So, in our time off, we went bowling!  This was quite fun and funny.  Seems like everything Joe and I have been doing has been just that.  It was pretty cool there too because we were the only ones in the bowling center!  Anyway, we played three games; we were going to play two, but the second didn't end so well so we had to play another one.  Joe won two games and I won one.  We had a lot of fun. 
The fair went decently well.  Pretty slow, but still decent.  The worker that helped us did a great job. His name is Noah.  It took him a couple times to get it, but he finally got it and like I already said did a great job.  Got to meet up with a few friends as well, that was really cool! We partially took down on Sunday night and then finished Monday afternoon and drove to the next fair.
We are now in Cashmere, WA!  Little town next to Wenatchee, if any of you know where that is.  Anyway, we set up today and ran our errands and have been relaxing.  The fairs are starting to slow down now and we are coming to an end of our season.  Joe and I have both been pretty exhausted.  But on a good point, we get to go back home for a week in eleven days!! Yay! 
We’re so excited!!
Also, Joe and I have been trying to keep in shape, lose weight, tone, gain muscle, you know-the works. So, that's pretty tough with all we do already, but with discipline and hard work, we're getting some of the results we want. I saw this picture on Facebook and it really motivated me to work even harder. Just thought I'd share that with all of you!
Well thanks for reading! I’ll keep you posted!
