On Friday, Gary and I (along with some of his friends from High-School) decided to hit the High School football game. OK, I am SO mad I didn't take a picture, but remember this is
Hopkinsville, Kentucky. Population of, maybe 30,000 people? Not THAT small, but certainly NOT big. This stadium was HUGE! I went to Provo High a 4A school. Christian County HS is a 5A and the stadium was probably better than some universities and HUGE! None of those fold up, tow onto the field metal bleachers like what my High School had. We're talking,
cement, like
BYU!! I couldn't believe it.
Maybe one thing that was not quite up to par were the Cheerleaders. Gary asked me not to say anything on my blog about the Cheerleaders, so I'll say nothing and just post a picture.
After the game, Steve and Gary and I hit
Ferrells. OK, so it's this OLD burger joint that has these older ladies cooking up burgers and microwaving
chili. It's open 24 hours a day and EVERYONE in Hop-town LOVES it. I don't know what the big deal was. It wasn't BAD or anything, but I'm now 1200 miles away and looking at these pictures does not stir inside myself any cravings whatsoever for this food. Now, In N' Out...that's another story! No, all kidding aside, I guess this is a pretty popular place for the Hopkinville-ites. It was fun to experience it...and smell like it for the rest of the night! :)
AND, look who decided to take part of the craft day festivities! Yes, my very own husband! He liked it too! But don't tell him I told you that part.
The finished products! It was SO much fun!
Yes, that's the FRONT yard! Oh how would it be to have some grass!
While they played, Gary's mom and I worked on the dinner...It was fabulous and well worth the work!
This is licking the plate after inhaling some of Peggy's Chocolate Roll. Divine!
Chilaxin after the dinner. I'm pretty sure I ate my weight in food. Literally!
I should have taken more pictures of family. This is Gary's NEPHEW! I still get a crack out of the fact that Gary has nephews that are basically his same age! I guess that's what you get when you're the youngest of ten kids, right?
Look at these cute girls! The baby is a "great-grandchild" in the Fears home. Another CRAZY thought! And the older one isn't actually a Fears. Her Dad, Steve (in the "weed-ball" pictures up top) was one of Gary's really really good friends in High School! It was fun to finally meet him and his family. I'd heard so many stories about Steve. Hopefully we'll stay in better touch now! 
So, we dediced to have a 'pre-thanksgiving' Thanksgiving Dinner with our friends. It was lots of fun! And this is about all the pictures I took. Ok, I took a few more, but they were turned and I'm too lazy right now to go back to them and rotate them. So, this is what you get. PROOF. It was really fun and REALLYyummy! 
Gary and I have two friends who like to play Monopoly with us and they both have kids. We haven't figured out how we can get all six of us together AND allow for kids to sleep just yet but we're working on it! In fact, during this game Angela and I discussed that one. So, Jacksons...get ready to rumble!!!
