Love at First Sight

Sorry that I haven't posted anything lately. I either have been to busy painting with my family or to busy reading. I know my thousands and thousands of followers have missed me. NOT! lol. :)Y'all are probably telling me to hurry along because you want to know who I fell in love with right? First let me give you some background...

Once upon a time, in a land far far away (ok it actually took place in the Quad Cities, not that far away, nor was it that long ago, only last Sunday). Anyways, my two brothers (23 and 19) and I went to the Quad Cities Air Show. It was a clear, cool, crisp morning when we woke up early (6:30ish) and hit the road a little after seven. My brother Zachary and I were really, really excited. I couldn't wait to see my favorite helicopter the AH-64 Apache (pictured below).

Zach was excited because fighter jets were on static display and the Navy's Blue Angels were performing. Half of the trip Zach was bouncing up and down on his seat and just being crazy (like normal). He kept singing this oldies song that was something like this, "Ground control to Major Tom blah blah blah. Ground control to Major Tom blah blah blah." And so it went. That was until Nathan got fed up with him and told him to settled down or he would turn around. :(

We arrived at the Air Show a little after eight, parked the car, and wondered around. First we saw some of the fighter jets on static display...

Nice right?

My brother Zachy!

A gun(SAW) definitly bigger than Zach's guns!!!

Then we searched high and low until we found the perfect place to set our lawn chairs. However, the place we found was so perfect that a group of ninjas came and tried to steal it right from under our nose. We all pulled out our swords and dueled till the death. Nate came out unscratched, Zach had a scar on his right arm and I lost an eye!  Back to reality, we then decided to go search for the Apache since they knew I really, really, really wanted to see one. However, we looked far and wide all across the air field and could not spot the Apache. I was like, "WHERE IS MY APACHE. I WANT MY APACHE!!!!!!" And then BANG...

Are you ready? Here some the really good part. The part y'all have been waiting for. I spotted this totally gorgeous creature across the field. He was so tall and so handsome. It was definitely love at first sight. I pulled my brothers over to where he was towering over the crowd.  Nathan and I were standing behind him and I turned towards Nate and exclaimed, "I think I'm in love!" I took so many pictures of him.I even got a couple pictures with me and him. Wait, what's that? Do y'all want to see pictures of him? Well here it goes...

 

Me and the Hunk!

Isn't he awesome?



This is what he looked like when I left: blue. :D





So what do y'all think? Is that screaming I hear? Didn't you love my love story? I did! His name is Vanguard (not really, that was just wrote on his side. lol)and he is either a Sea Stallion or a Super Stallion. I'm not sure because they look a lot a like. Kind of like brothers. :)And then they all lived happily ever after! (Though the sad truth is even though I might love him, the Apache still has the #1 spot in my heart for helicopters.)

Well, I hope you liked my story of love at first sight. After that life-changing moment we enjoyed the rest of the air show, especially the Blue Angels and Fat Albert.
