I Love Them Carnies!

Actually, carnies scare me lol. So, Justin and I went down to the Wellsboro carnival the other night. It was ok. Lots of lights as the night fell. Almost everyone in the town was out to experience the first night. Carnies, in a haze of smoke, called to the potential customers walking by them. Little kids screamed and had the fun in their eyes. So, Justin and I were there and experienced the carnival once again. Obviously, the best part was the food and watching the the little kids fly down the inflatable slide. I seriously think that was the best part of the whole night haha. Oh, and I also realized that we can totally hear the rides and announcers from our house.

The one thing that I do know though is that it's not as fun now as it was when I was little. I've even talked to some of my friends and we all have the magical ideal as to what it was like when we were young. The lights were brighter, the rides were better and the food was better lol. But then I think, was it really better or is it the problem we all face as we grow older. Times were better, people had more morals and the carnies were decent men without the inherent creepiness that is almost required of them today. I hope this isn't the case though. I want to still believe there is magic in the air even though I'm an adult now. The only thing that I could think of last night was that I couldn't wait until my children would be able to experience the same thing that I use to feel coming to the fair.

And I also think it'll be a good excuse, once we have kids, for Justin to be able to go down the fun Slide lol.

I Wear My Flipflops!

Diamonds scattered across the velvet midnight sky twinkled down upon the tiny town below. The glimmer mirrored in the flashes of light from fireflies on the ground. Light summer wind blows gently, barely rustling the blades of grass where the ladybugs have settled in for the night. A soft hush falls over the town. Hidden on a porch swing, a young couple sits and gazes into the night sky. She cuddles into his body as he wraps his arms around her and pulls her close. She sighs and closes her eyes. He kisses her forehead. The only noise comes from the crickets calling to their lovers. No words said; thousands of sensations felt.

Love, True Love, in its Finest...
