Pray for SC

I'm sure everyone has heard about the horrific events that have taken place in the area we call home. It is so incredibly sad. We were lucky to make it out without any damage. I couldn't believe what I was seeing as I watched the news footage. After the second day I told Pat I couldn't watch anymore, it was too sad. I was off of work on Monday due to the excessive road closures. When I returned to work on Tuesday it took me almost 1 1/2 hours to get there. There were very few people on the road but everyone was forced to use the only open road so you can imagine the backup. I don't know anyone personally that had major damage to their car or home but I still can't get over how many people, just miles from my house, lost everything!

We made the best of the conditions and enjoyed some outdoor time jumping puddles! I think we changed outfits 3 times one day!

The Thursday after the flooding I was scheduled to take a work trip to CA for training on our new equipment. I felt so guilty moving on with my life knowing so many were trying to put theirs back together. To say I wasn't excited about this trip would be an understatement.....until we found out Zac Brown Band would be performing at the Hollywood bowl! Our meetings were in Newport, about 1 hour away but we all agreed it would be worth it. We had meetings most of the day Friday but only part of the day on Saturday so we hit Newport Beach, then headed to LA for the concert. The rolling hills and 'Hollywood' sign were the backdrop and the lights crossed right above the stadium! I am a huge ZZB fan so I would have loved to see them anywhere but the venue made the concert even more amazing!

I had a feeling there might be a guest appearance and I was right! John Mayer came out and they jammed out to some Bill Withers and Bob Dylan.

*I had many more pictures from this trip I would have loved to share but Pat had a little mishap with my phone. He put it on the roof of the car and drove off! I had to borrow from the ones I posted on Instagram and I took one from the internet so you could see how awesome the venue was!

We also hit the fair again this year! We did the farm animals first which she loved! I think she would have fed the goats the sheep all day had we let her. 

She loved the bunnies. We had look at every single one!

We bought ride tickets but could only find a few people that would let her on. They are strict with their height requirements at the fair!

The house is decorated and we are ready for the rest of the festivities the fall season has to bring! Please remember to keep SC in your prayers as there are many families still trying to overcome the devastation of the flooding.
