I SPENT THE MORNING DOING ALL THE COASTERS AND RIDES THEN IN THE AFTERNOON I DID ALL THE GAMES. LAST YEAR I WON 3 LITTLE PRIZES. THIS YEAR I SCORED BIG. I SPENT ABOUT $150.00 BUT IT WAS WELL WORTH IT. TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT I WON.

INDEPENDENCE DAY

YOU NEVER REALLY KNOW HOW MUCH YOU DEPEND ON SOMETHING IN YOUR EVERYDAY LIFE UNTIL IT IS GONE. 3 WEEKS AGO MY TRUCK BROKE DOWN. IT WAS THE TORQUE CONVERTER IN THE TRANSMISSION. SO FOR 3 WEEKS I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT A VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD TO DEPEND ON MY PARENTS TO GET AROUND AND THEN MY BOSS LET ME USE THE WORK TRUCK TO GET AROUND. IT IS LIKE LOSING INDEPENDENCE WHEN SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPENS. BUT I SURVIVED AND I GOT THROUGHT IT. A YEAR AGO THIS WOULD HAVE SENT ME IN A DOWNWARD SPIRAL. BUT NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS THINGS WORK OUT AND LIFE GOES ON. YESTERDAY I GOT MY TRUCK BACK. I WANT TO TAKE THIS MOMENT AND THANK SOME VERY SPECIAL PEOPLE. FIRST OFF I WANT TO THANK MY BOSS AND MY VERY GOOD FRIEND FOR THE USE OF THE WORK TRUCK TO BE ABLE TO GET AROUND. AND A VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU GOES TO MY MOM AND DAD AND MY AUNT AND UNCLE FOR THERE HELP IN HELPING ME GET THE MONEY TOGETHER TO GET MY TRUCK FIXED. WITHOUT YOU I WOULD NOT HAVE MY TRUCK BACK RIGHT NOW. I LOVE YOU ALL VERY MUCH. AGAIN THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR ALL YOU HELP AND SUPPORT YOU ALL ROCK.
