Spicing it up!

I thought I would mess around with my blog today and spice it up a little (the brown background was growing a little bland in my opinion).  I think the orange definitely makes a statement! :)  I also added a short bio of both Kevin and I.

I am also so excited for this upcoming weekend...we have a date night scheduled for Friday!  Yay!  Kevin and I haven't gone out for a really nice dinner in months and we (actually I) finally decided it was time to go to a nicer place than the Old Bag of Nails in Delaware. :)  We are going to Barcelona in the German Village (near downtown).  I love this place, and haven't been there forever! :)

Saturday, I am dragging Kevin to the Health and Fitness Expo to see Bethenny Frankel speak (Real Housewives of New York City, and New York Times Bestselling Author).  I just purchased her book 'Naturally Thin' a few weeks ago, and read through it at lightning speed.  It gets two thumbs up from me!  I definitely recommend it.  It is a great way to think about food, cooking, and exercise without having to deprive yourself of the things you really enjoy.  Hopefully I can get a picture with her...if so I will post one next week! :)

Hope you enjoy the new look of my blog!!

Ohio State Fair :)

We have been so busy this summer!! We have had every weekend booked with something since mid-July, and only have one free weekend until we leave for Jamaica in about a month. We have managed to squeeze in some time at the Ohio State Fair this year though, which is always a must for us! It’s kind of trashy and dirty, and just looking at the food booths can clog your arteries, but Kevin and I always have a blast!

Two weekends ago we went to do our usual Fair night. We always have to go on the Sky Ride, ride the Ferris Wheel, see the cows and sheep, and of course…ruin our diets with some Fair food!  Actually¸ this year we didn’t get too out of control…since we are headed to a tropical paradise in a month…but we managed to squeeze in few fun things.

Here are some fun pictures of our first night at the Ohio State Fair.

Here's our obligatory self pic :)

The Ferris Wheel...a must do!

There's me on the Ferris Wheel...with downtown C-Bus behind me!

Kevin having fun on the Ferris Wheel!

Sheep!

Baby calf.  Week old and ADORABLE! :)

Shhhh...they're sleeping....

Butter sculpture in the dairy barn!

Kevin with a really big Pumpkin :)

Everything terrible for you...but do they really need to deep fry PB&J???

Yes, they even had chocolate covered bacon...

And yes, someone was dying to try it :)

Riding the Sky Ride!

Gotta love the fair!

We actually did go back again this past Thursday, but not to tour the cow barn, or sample bad for you Fair food…but actually went to see one of my favorite bands of all time, Heart! This is the second year in a row that we’ve seen them, and they are amazing! A lot of my favorite songs are older than I am, but Ann Wilson sounds the same as she did back in the 70’s…if not better! Here is Kevin’s review on his blog of the concert…I 100% agree with everything he had to say!

Until next time! Hopefully I will be able to post an update before our vacation :)
