She's gone country

**This post is a long time a comin'. I started it over the weekend sometime, and I'm just now finishing it up!**

Josh and I were able to go to the Houston Rodeo on Thursday night. Josh's mom came into town to keep Abby for the evening, while we managed to bear the elements to make it to the Reliant Center. The weather was horrible. Did I say horrible? Because I meant awful, miserable, horrendous, etc., etc. NOTHING irks me more than having to walk through HUGE puddles and the water going through my shoes and into my socks, and having to sit with cold, wet socks for a whole evening. That's just dreadful to me, but that's exactly what happened. Not only were my feet freezing, but my jeans were wet, too. I'm sure your thinking, "Didn't ya'll have an umbrella?" Oh yes we did, but when it's SO windy and the rain is coming in sideways, nothing can save you!

From one of the janitors, I ended up getting a garbage bag to put over my head. The garbage bag is long enough to protect some of my jeans from getting any more wet. Then Josh made a small "hand hole" for me to poke my little hand out to still try and hold my umbrella. I was quite the sight, that's for sure! I was SO cold and SO wet, that I really didn't care what I looked like if what I had going on was helping a bit :-) We felt the need to get a good 'ol turkey leg while we were at the rodeo. Yes, we look like goobers, but it was good!
I always love the girl that rides out standing up on the horse with the American flag...(kinda blurry, but obviously it's in motion)And Alan (we're on a first name basis...I feel like I "know" him because I read his wife's book entitled "It's All About Him." It was good, too!)
Then a few nights ago, we watched Caleb for a short little bit. But, of course, I needed to whip out my camera. (You'll notice Sandy in the midst of them at all times!)
Caleb lounging...What?!? (I think that's exactly what his face is saying!)
