It's Time To Play...

The FAMILY FEUD!!!!

This past Sunday Ryan, Heather, Jonathan, Virginia (Ryan's mom) and I tried out for Family Feud. First of all, I have to admit that during the summer I occassionaly watch F.F. at 12:00 on channel 33. One day Ryan happened to be home during lunch and we were watching and they had an advertisement for tryouts in the Dallas area so we called and got a tryout.

Sorry for the poor quality of the pictures but you get the idea... The tryouts were held in Grand Prairie at a restaurant in a baseball stadium. I was really hoping that there would be lots of white trash people there so we would automatically make it but that was not the case. There were about 40 families and I would say that more than half were quality looking people. When we got there we had to fill out some information on all the players, take a group photo and sit around and wait. They called up two families at a time and you played two rounds against the other family. They gave lots of instructions like:

1. make sure you say "Good answer" every time someone guesses even if they sound like a complete idiot

2. Huddle in a group when the other team is giving their answers so if it comes to your team you have a guess

3. When it comes to your team for a steal make sure you yell out answers for your captain before he makes his official guess

So, it was a little nerve racking to try to remember all of this and think of good answers and try not to look and sound like a moron. But I think we did pretty well. We should find out in about two weeks if we made it. So I will let you know if the Ware family will be the next contestants on the FAMILY FEUD!!!

Oh...I am a little behind on blogging because I have been at training all week from 8-4:00. But, we had fun at Ryan's reunion. We had to come home early for the tryouts. I will not post pics from that because I am probably going to wear the same dress to my reunion and then if I have pictures of it people might be like "Oh, that dress is cute. I saw it on your blog."

Ryan and I also just celebrated our 5 year anniversary but I posted this first because I am creating a picture montage (sp?) and I have to scan several on to the puter and it takes awhile. So, stay tuned.

Tomorrow we will be leaving for a week long vacation to Ruidoso, NM so I will be posting from the mountains where the high is expected to be about 75. Peace out.
