I NEED A SHEEP!

So on Saturday Dave and I (his two cousins, and one of their girlfriends) went to the Armstrong Fair!  The first little while it was just buck and me, so of course we went to the barn to see the animals!  We saw the goats first (one animal I do not like!), the only cute ones were called...nigerian dwarf goats, so they were littler.  Then came the sheep, and I had to hold back my squeals of excitement!!  I felt like a little kid again, I was talking to the sheep `hello little baby, you are so cute!` Then we saw the pigs...which stunk to high heavens!  The first one we saw had this little name tag, saying his name was snorty.  And as we walked by...he didnt stop snorting!  haha!  There were really cute little piglets that had the cutest curly tails.  Then at the other side of the barn, they had more sheep!  Really wooly ones, and my favoritest one Ive ever seen, and ones with 4 horns that were like a foot long.  Then we went to the cow barn, and that one stunk like crazy too.  I see cows every single day, but I guess I forgot how massive they are!
The whole night was alot of fun, great company, awesome food (I had a horse blanket, 3 different kinds of cotton candy, french fries, almond mocha fudge icecream!) and good weather!  I went on one ride, and screamed the loudest and the longest out of everyone on the whole ride...Dave wasnt suprised. 
There was only one bad thing that happened the whole night.  I was waiting in line for food by myself, and a tall guy walked behind me and said (very clearly so I could hear) `Whoa you need to get outside and get some sun`, then laughed with the lady he was with.  I am very pale, Im the lightest shade of makeup in any brand, and I always have been.  In the past I have been very self consious about it, and tried tanning beds.  But this summer, something switched in my brain, and I didnt make it a big focus for summer....I am TRYING not to tan or burn, so later in life I can have good skin.  God made me pale, and thats just the way Im going to stay!  It makes me crazy that its not always `acceptable`to be so white, and that tan is the only thing that looks good.  Dave really just likes it when Im happy, and for me not to worry about my paleness makes me happy!
And once I told Dave what that (dumb cigarette smoking idiot) said to me, he wanted to know what guy...so he could `talk`to him.  He was long gone by that time though.
I ended the night with a nice bubbly hot bath, and felt great!

On a side (happy) note, I weighed myself....and I have lost 5 pounds!  I have been trying really hard to get healthy and just feel better about my body overall.  That was the highlight of my day for sure, oh and eating corn on the cob like Im five and get it all over my face!!

This one stuck his head through the little gate and I loved it!


I just LOVED the wrinkles on his neck!


2 little piggies!

My MOST favourite one of the whole day...I wanted to take him home!



I loved his woolyness, and I think he was rolling in the hay!
