line of the day: "When you meet that special someone, you realize why it didn't work out with anyone else." - as Adam and I sat at the fair, singing I Shake My Hair Back and Forth, while my parents laughed at us, I had this exact thought.

gratitude: The Iowa State Fair! I haven't shown at the fair in 8 years, but I still get that giddy, excited, nervous, happy feeling every time I walk onto the grounds. I'm so thankful I got to share the day with my family AND friends!
