The weekend I turned 28

So I am now 28 years old. This past weekend was a good weekend to turn 28, let me explain what all happened:

Friday: Erin, Curt, Betsy and I went to Floyd. We had not made it here in a while and it was the most packed that I had ever seen it. It was good, after such a long week, to see and catch up with some of the regulars, dance and listen to some great bluegrass music. And we even ….. Before I tell you let me explain. Every Friday night in Floyd (Except Christmas & Thanksgiving week Friday’s) a Ham is given out to the person with the correct ticket number. You receive a ticket when you arrive and pay your $3 for admission. Well this Friday we won the Ham!!! Funny thing since it was so crowded and we had been going to Floyd for so long. But it happened. They called out the first number and no one came forward, the second, still no winner. Erin sat there looking at the tickets just waiting. More numbers were called, nothing won… And then number 6….0….2 was called. And when it was Erin nearly flew out of her seat. It reminded me of someone winning the car on the ‘Price is Right’. Hands waving, arms in the air, screaming, it was great!

Saturday: Saturday we moved Erin’s furniture from Roanoke to Blacksburg with the help of her family. It was a quick move (only one trip) so we took the extra time to head to lunch, to the Rockwood (to pick up a borrowed pressure washer) and then to the River. After a little rest at the river we headed to Salem for the Salem Fair. I was excited about going and knew some others would be there, but I did not know who. It turned out to be a really fun group of friends.

We did it all from the Ferris wheel to watching pig racing. The highlight was actually an acrobat show that was really good for a fair. I was surprised. The night ended at an ice cream shop where I was given a country music CD (that I listened to, well part of it) and a Hammer. Before hand I received a nice soft shell from Erin. Can’t wait till it gets cool enough to wear it!

I also received voice mails from both parents, singing Happy Birthday.

Sunday: Church, then we returned some gifts (or tried too, Target was really bad at dealing with us) and purchased some gifts for our guests. After that it was wedding planning for the rest of the evening, you can see what we did here:

So All in all a really good weekend to have some fun, relax and be productive. Next weekend is a Dragon’s tooth hike, it’s a rough life…
