ObLoNg FaLl FoLlieS

Today is the Fall Follies in my hometown...yay! Let's see what my schedule is going to be like:
1. Go uptown with the parents to browse around the boothes and look at crafts.
2. Come home and make some more goodies for my party tomorrow.
3. Meet up with some old friends to go watch the Spooktacular band fest at the high school.
4. Watch the field show competition...depending on if it's raining and how cold it is.
5. Back home to help in the kitchen with the party goodies again.
6. Back uptown to mingle with some friends at the festival.
7. To the high school to watch the drumline exhibitions at the band fest.
8. Go to the Firehouse for the pancake and sausage supper.
9. Watch the nighttime parade uptown in lawn chairs, while it's freezing outside! BUT, it is totally worth it because there are 25 bands performing in it this year...it's always amazing!
Wow, that's a jam-packed day...I should be sleeping now instead of writing this!
Fall is by far my favorite time of the year in Illinois...it is so pretty here this time of year!!!! I hate to leave it and go to Africa, but I can't wait to live on the other side of the world, again. It's been awhile since I've been away from home, but I'll be fine.

Oh yeah, my going away party is this Sunday (day after tomorrow) and it's going to rock everyone's socks off!!! Can't wait!

I ONLY HAVE 1O DAYS LEFT IN THE UNITED STATES....EEK!!! THE COUNTDOWN IS TRULY ON NOW! WHOA...
