So Rayce and I want to make a documentary on the "porch people of Ada". They are everywhere. The porch people are people that sit on their porches or in their front yard no matter if it is 110 degrees outside or not and there are always a lot of them. There is this one house in particular where we estimate that about 10 people live in (this is just a rough guess, there may be more). It makes sense they sit on the porch because they all can't fit in the tiny house at once. It's ridiculous. Never seen anything like it. Every time we drive by their houses there is a new person there. They range in age from about 1 month old to about 70. So we are going to buy a video camer and interview them. Well not really, but I bet it would be one riveting documentary.
Rayce and I go to Starbucks and sit on their patio to feel like we are in a big city.....it's about the closest thing to one that we can get here. Yesterday we went and Rayce got a coffee and I brought my Braum's chicken strips to eat. The weather was nice....I read a book. It was good times. Then we went to Hastings (our other favorite place) and they finally had the new Domino magazine!!! Yay!! I was so excited. If you don't read Domino you need to. It is awesome. We usually just sit in Hastings for an hour and read magazines, but Domino is the one magazine I HAVE to buy.
Anything else.....Oh yes! Misty got a job in New York City and I am so happy for her!! She will be there for 3 months and leaves at the beginning of September. I really want to try to go see her. We will see if I can work something out. Yay Misty!!
Had waffles for lunch.
The other day we went to Sonic and Rayce was driving. I ordered a medium drink and gave him change to pay for it....like 6 quarters and a couple of other coins. Well, he was embarrassed that he had to pay with that.
So tonight I wanted to go get and Rayce decides that I am going to drive so I will have to hand the money to the carhop...He goes into his closet and gets his coffee can full of change and tells me that I am going to have to pay with change this time. And takes a bunch of coins out. I told him that was fine with me....i don't care what the people at Sonic think of me. Plus, I didn't have to pay for it with my money, I got to use his (jokes on him) So we go and both get drinks. The total was about 3.75. So I paid with 14 quarters, two dimes, and a nickel. The lady looked at me like I was crazy when I handed her all of the coins....and Rayce was embarrased again even though he MADE me do it......didn't bother me.
Update: Rayce's hair is growing back in nicely.
More to come I am sure.

WOO! Just found your blog. Excited to keep up with you guys this way :)
Sara! Just added you to our blog :) We are old....
Have you heard the song "Space People"? I think you need to do a remix.
Haha! The coin thing is AWESOME! And I LOVE that Rayce was mortified...for the second time...and it was TOTALLY his fault! Haha! You two are funny. I'm pretty sure you need a reality show.
I think that the first episode should start out with the two of you at Sonic paying for drinks with coins...then running out of coins. Rayce is happy...but you think you need more coins. So of course you have to go to the old ppl on their porches and ask for change for whatever paper money you have and they just don't get it...and go into "when I was your age," stories.
THEN, after that you go to HASTINGS (your entertainment superstore), where you try to pay for Domino and an XBox game with a huge thing of change (only Rayce didn't know that was going to happen and only sees the bag when you pull it out of what I can assume is the overly larger purse you are currently using)...and Rayce gets so freaked out when handing the change to the lady he drops it all...And you laugh!
The End (of episode 1)
