Last night was a beautiful evening. The air was a bit hot and humid, as it always is in summer, but not quite as bad as it's been. As the evening progressed, and the sun began it's descent, the sky was magnificent. All the colors of pink, orange, and red were a sight to behold. There were so many people milling about, and even though it was quite cumbersome to walk in certain spots, we tried not to take notice. It was all about enjoying the evening, and walking around the Johnson County Fair before it ends. Unfortunately, Dannie worked late that day, so we only had an hour of daylight left, which means I didn't get all the pictures I wanted (depending on how tonight goes, there might be a part two). We also didn't get to try any delicious fair food, first of all because I was too busy taking pictures, and secondly, because it was extremely packed with people! All-in-all, however, it was a pleasant evening just strolling around the fairgrounds. I didn't go to many fairs growing up, but since we've been married, I've gone every year. This was Eva's second year to go, but definitely the first in her mind. She loved taking in all the new sights, and was in awe of the crowds of people shrieking at the top of their lungs on the fair rides. Personally, I'm afraid of heights, so just watching I felt sick. But in her eyes I guess it looked pretty fun.
I'm so thankful for any small amount of time we get to enjoy life, as simple as it may be, as a little family. Some day in the future, whenever God's timing is right, there will be more littles to make memories with and show new things. But for now, I'm hopelessly and completely in love with our little Eva, and I'm so humbled that I get to be her mother. Her enthusiasm over the smallest things makes me laugh, and gives me an even greater appreciation for life.
