Girl Scout Fun

We've had a lot of fun as a troop this fall. It's been great having Paige in our troop - makes it so much easier for me, and I know Paige loves it too. {Drew is less than thrilled but is tolerating her little sister well. Ha!}

In October, we went camping outside Dallas for 2 nights at one of our girl's uncle's farm. He has horses and cows and all sorts of fun things for girls to enjoy!

Grocery shopping before Diwali ha

This was camping we could get used to! Access to TV and indoor plumbing? YES!

Playful pups, walking to the barn, helping with horses, and PREGNANT cows!

We went to eat in town and had so much fun. Love these girls!

Homemade snowcones and pool time!

More horse time and Allena the Human + Elana the Cat {grin}

Then a few weeks ago we went and volunteered at a dog rescue. The girls had a good time getting to play with the pups, and it was great watching them give back to our community!

I know I'm a broken record about Girl Scouts, but I really didn't think I would enjoy being a leader as much as I do! Getting to know these girls, watch them grow, and help them achieve their goals is really awesome. I hope we can keep our troop together for years to come!

Our Marriage is LEGAL!

This year Brent and I celebrated 21 years of marriage! We're legal, ha! We're planning a big vacation this summer, so we didn't do anything wild this year - we went out to eat twice on our actual anniversary {I'll share why} and then out with friends on the Saturday after our anniversary because their anniversary is also in October. I didn't take many pictures - except of food and drinks apparently!

So early in the week, I asked Brent if he would want to go to lunch on Thursday {our anniversary}, and he said sure. I assumed he would be at the office, and I'd meet him, but he ended up working from home that day - I assumed for our anniversary. Wednesday night when we went to bed I said 'happy almost anniversary'. Thursday when we went to lunch he admitted he didn't realize I asked him to lunch for our anniversary - he had no idea it was our anniversary until I said something Wednesday night! Ha! BUT then he didn't understand why I wanted to do lunch because we do a lot of date nights at one of our favorite restaurants and sit at the bar and have drinks and split appetizers. I said I chose lunch since we were going to dinner on Saturday. Well, he didn't like that answer and wanted to go to dinner that night too. So we did!

TWENTY ONE

Drinks and yummy treats

Saturday night I took zero pictures of us or with our friends! We had gone out to eat with this couple in July to the yummy steakhouse in our town and decided to go again for our join anniversary to split a tomahawk steak...and so we did!

And that's how we ate our way through 21 years!
