So we got our first present (via UPS) late last week. It was from Shannon's uncle and aunt. Pretty nice....wasn't expecting it, but it looks good on our kitchen counter.

Sunday we headed out to the fair. We had gotten pre-sale tickets for cheap, but were also given tickets from Patrick that he had gotten through his work.

We parked near the capitol and headed to the fair on the shuttle.

It was nice, we wandered around, looked and animals (including cats). In our wanderings we ate some fair food. First Shannon had a lamb burger (ok) and I had a lamb-ka-bob (very good). We had some fried cheese curds (good). We stopped by the Bauder's Ice Cream stand and got some shakes. Then we found the fried sweet stuff stand, and since we neither had not tried anything, we got Fried Oreos (ok), Fried twinkie (I can't eat plain twinkies, I find them disgusting) (good), and a fried snickers bar (very good). We sat down, had some lemonade.

We then headed in to an air conditioned building, ran into Lindsay and I signed up to give blood (today). We headed over to find Josh, Adam, Tiff, and Courtie at the arm wrestling tournament and after getting lost, we eventually found them. And the rain started.

Arm wrestling..is...boring. 30 minutes of action, 20 minutes of waiting. If it was poor planning on their part, or whatever, I just got bored quick...Shannon was bored even quicker.

We said good-bye to the group and headed out in the rain...we got turned about, directed in the wrong direction by the information booth, but eventually found our way back to the shuttle stop and headed back to the capitol...or so we thought. We actually got stuck in a line of busses waiting for a train to cross the road...

By the time we got back, the rain had stopped and we headed home.

That night we put together two more invitations and sent out announcements with a picture to my mom's side of the family (32 envelopes, yes, big family, lots of people, can't afford to invite them, not that they'd probably show up anyways).

We are actually almost out of one of the types of stamps that we bought (5 remaining).

Wednesday, we've scheduled time with Brandon (as a witness) to go down to get our marriage license.
