Iowa State Fair Time!

Hello! So here is my second post and so far I don't have any followers :( I hope that changes very soon! I think I will post some pictures tonight and maybe people will flock to see how interesting me life is.

So I love the Iowa State Fair! It brings back memories from when I was a young 4-Her in the Garryowen Guys and Gals 4-H Club. None of my projects ever made it to the state fair, but I did get several honorable mentions. I guess that counts for something! Anyway, I LOVE walking around, watching the Bill Riley Talent Show, perusing through the livestock barns, enjoying some tasty food, and of course... people watching! Last year, Wes and I sat on a bench across from the grandstand for probably an hour or two and just watched people walk by. There are sure some interesting people out there. I bet people say that when I walk by though :)

Last night Wes and I went to the Newsboys & MercyMe concert with a group from our church. It was a very spiritual experience. This was the 2nd Christian concert I've been too (Casting Crowns was the first) and I hope to be able to go to many many more. At the end of the concert, MercyMe performed their famous, "I Can Only Imagine" and I had tears in my eyes. Across the screen were pictures of people and their loved ones they've lost. It is such a moving and emotional song. The concert was fabulous despite the HEAT! Here are a few pictures of us all sweaty at the concert.





Here are some things you should know about me before you start reading my new blog:

1. You may know me as Rose Donovan because I just got married! Wes & I tied the knot on July 3rd and it has been a great month of married life!

2. I love my job! I teach Middle School Social Studies/English in Des Moines, IA. I will try not to write a ton about my job, but sometimes it's hard because it is so important to me!

3. I'm a new homeowner in WDM and am enjoying the new experiences that it brings.

4. I have the best friends anyone could ask for.... but I love meeting new people. If you are following my posts...let's hang out!

Well, I guess you didn't HAVE to know those things, but I'm new at this. Add my blog.... you won't regret it!
Write here, about you and your blog.
