July 1st- Strong Man Competition

Chris was so great! I mean he totally stomped all over those competitors! So what he didn't actually sign up. Man, he carried those weight and tires around like it was nothing... using his forklift! He was the official forklift guy bringing the crazy machinery all the way from Ft. Wayne to kokomo to help out. And this year, things moved along a lot more quickly and smoothly than they did last year trying to get the course set up again for the next guy.

I had a blast watching the show. I really, really did not like the log pumping thing...sorry I forgot what its called but you'll see in the pictures they have those white tubes with thier hands inside pulling it over thier heads. Yeah one guy actually fell backwards and did a back flip. I thought one of them was going to break their backs or it was going to fall on thier head...I did not like it. My hand was to my mouth the entire time and my eyes were buggeyed!

But it was a lot of fun. Sorry it took so long to get it posted!

Dinner with Friends!

June 30th

Chris and I had dinner with an amazing, yes, AMAZING couple - NEWLYWEDS JAMIE AND GREG HAMILTON! They litterally just got married the friday before we had dinner- June 23rd!

Greg cooked Salmon and Steak, Jamie made Corn on the Cob, macaroni and cheese and the best cream/fruit desert ever! We sat around the table and had great conversations! We talked about how they met, what his job is (this is the first we met him, but we totally loved him! - Jamie deserves him!) anywho- They are both teaching at Indiana University - Kokomo and he also designs web sites for Nascar.

Very interesting couple that we can't wait to hang out with again. We also watched FAILURE to LAUNCH with one of my Favorite actresses- Sarah Jessica Parker! It was funny, you should rent it!
