Summer time is finally here!

So technically I think we have another week before it is actually here but its hot outside so I'm counting it. Well we have been busy busy busy. The wedding count down is getting shorter and that means more things to be checked off our list. This is when the wedding planning starts to get more real. All the vendor contracts are signed (well almost all), decorations seem to be piling up in the office, and the DRESS should be here in a few weeks!!!

But even though the planning process is full steam ahead we still need to have a normal life every now and then. This last go round Allen was gone 6 WEEKS. That made the month of May very long. So when he did finally come home what do we do? We went out of town. It was our first "camping" trip of the season. Now I say "camping" because we actually stayed in a very nice 5th wheel that has a shower. But there was a camp fire and we played outside. Here are a few of the high lights from the trip...

A little 4 wheeler action. Notice my awesome new giant backpack that Allen bought. Its almost bigger than me. Apparently Allen wants me to "survive" in the woods. 

Patriot had to dig the dirt just right so he could lay in it.

There was also some shooting and a lot of Morel mushroom hunting. (apparently this is a popular thing to do) We spent hours just walking through the woods looking for these ugly mushrooms. I found a bunch, Allen not so many since he can't see that close to the ground :) Well this was just the beginning to a fun packed summer. It will go by in a whirlwind and be over before we know it. We have a few more trips planned before summer is over so that will give us a break from all the wedding madness. Actually it hasn't been madness for me. I love wedding planning. I asked Allen the other day whatever am I going to do once this is all over? I will have to find a new hobby. Any suggestions?
