Camping and Canoeing!

Well, I had a fabulous time this weekend, although it was a little crazy at times! Friday, I went and got pedicures with my mom, and my sister, and then we went to eat perico's together! yumm. After that my mom and I went back to the mall and I did a little shopping. I got a shirt, two dresses, and some 89 dollar shoes on sale for 24 bucks!! You can't beat that! After shopping, I met with my cousin Sarah and her other bridesmaid Kristi and we went to David's bridal to find her a wedding dress! We were successful, and she looked beautiful! (NO thanks to Donna, her crappy consultant!!) That night, Josh and I went to a birthday shin-dig for his friend Wes, and it was pretty fun. Saturday morning Josh and I got up to pack for a weekend camping in Arkansas with his friends "the WCO" (also known as Walker County Outlaws) Don't ask! Their girlfriends came along too. We also had two other chicks that I didn't know tag along. That's a long story. Anyways we borrowed a tent, and bought an air matress and packed up, and we left with some of the others around 2:30. The trip over seemed long, but it was fun and we only got lost twice! (Thanks to the Garmin!) We got there at around 8 something, and met everyone at the "Price Chopper" to get some groceries. Then we were too hungry to grill out, so we ate at a mexican place. We walked in 5 min before they closed. Needless to say our waiter was not all that friendly. Having been there myself, I can't really say that I blame him. We had to set up our tents in the dark, so that was interesting. Then we pretty much crashed because we had to get up early to go canoeing. I slept great on that air matress! (really. that's not sarcasm) Oh, I forgot to mention that when we got to the camp site, Josh's friends told us then, that there was no running water in the bath-house. That's right...no potty, and no shower! Now that is roughing it! We got up early, and went to eat breakfast at this little country place. It was awesome. It started raining early that morning, so when we got back to the camp site to change into our canoeing clothes, Josh and I discovered that our tent leaked. Bad. So half my clothes in my suitcase was already wet. Bummer. fortunately the bed stayed dry because of the matress. Anyways, it was still raining, so: To canoe, or not to canoe. That was the question. Well the "WCO" still wanted to go. So us girls loaded up in the cab of a truck, and we put the boys, and the coolers in the bed! Ha Ha! You should have seen them in the cold rain on the way there! Pitiful! Once we got there, we had six seperate canoes, so we used our lifejackets to tie them all together like a barge. It was like a party on a river! Crazy people! We had a blast. Nobody flipped because there was too many of us to take down. People on the banks would point, when we would get close to a drop-off, thinking we would never make it, but we did. I think the boys had a little too much beer, but other than that it was great! The bus ride back to the truck was a mess! Crazy people we didn't know, being loud and obnoxious, and puking out the windows, and flashing us, and "other stuff." I can't even describe it. Or, I won't anyways. Let's just say it was bad. When we got back, Jordan got a call saying there was a storm with a tornado headed our way. It wasn't close yet, but anyone who has read my blog knows I don't do well with tornados! I flipped out! I wanted to get a hotel room ASAP! At least then I could shower too! Anyways I finally calmed down and we monitored the weather, but nothing ever happened. Just lots of rain. We grilled out that night, and I had the best hamburger I've ever had in my life! Then me and Josh slept in our wet tent. I didn't sleep so well that night. I was scared of storms, and there was a railroad crossing right near the campground, and I'm pretty sure I heard the whistle like 5 times that night! We headed home on Monday. We stopped at a western store, and I got me some pink boots! I've never had a pair of boots, so I was pretty excited. Arkasas is very flat. (I know that came out of nowhere) It was just an observation. There were lots of rice fields there. Me and Josh couldn't figure out if they were flooded on purpose, or if they had just had a lot of rain. I did a little research, and apparently they were supposed to be flooded. I thought it was neat. Anyways that was the weekend for me. Quite eventful!

Well it's been a while since I've posted. Not much is going on in my life right now. Not that that's a bad thing. I'm actually enjoying just being in a routine. I love having Josh at home at night. Did I ever even mention he is on day shift now? Well he is. He has been super sweet lately.

I am still working out at the gym with Kristi. I totally love our Zumba class! I will probably sign up for a year membership in June when my three months is up. Just so I can Zumba! It gives me lots more energy.

My little cousin Sarah is engaged!! I am so excited! She is like my little sister. We have always been close. Ok, I call her little, but she is like 22. I am going to be her matron of honor! She is getting married this year in sept. or oct. I may be more excited than her!

Work has gotten slow again! I'm starting to worry. We are finally having an open house on tuesday. Maybe that will generate some businness. Everyone is slow right now though. Even the pedo office down stairs.

I guess me and Josh are going to cookout with our friends tonight. That should be fun. We will have to come home early because Josh has to work again in the morning. I guess that is it for now!

First pics with my new grill!

Ok, so I'm not lovin the braces. I am still learning how to eat, not that that is stopping me!
