The funniest thing



Ok, not funny as in HAHA, but funny as peculiar.  A few/several years ago, we went camping.. we had to go buy everything cause we had nothing.. we got a nice big tent and all the fun things that go along with camping.. it was me, hubby and both the girls and our dog Gypsy.  I don't even know how long we stayed, several days.. we all had alot of fun.  And that was the only time we ever went.   Not because hubby and the kids didn't want to go, but because I never wanted to go.  Why, you may ask?  I have absolutely no idea.. but the idea of camping just did NOT appeal to me.. which is so weird, because I did have a good time. 

Ok, present tense.  The other night sitting out by the fire, we have fires in our pit alot during the summer...  Hubby said something about going camping again... and I am so totally excited!!  I have GOT to be the weirdest person ever!! LOL  I have no idea why, all of a sudden, camping sounds like fun again.  So today we got our big tent out of our storage room and set it up so it could air out.  Tomorrow Courtney and I are going to scrub down the floor with Fabuloso cause it does smell kind of musty in there and that Fabuloso smells sooo good. 

I am not sure when we are going exactly.  Hubby is just back to work from  having his surgery so we will have to work around his schedule, but we are hoping toward the end of July I think.  We have a few things we need to get yet before we go.  I have already been checking out all the fun camping stuff online.  We are going to get a new air mattress as something happened to the one we had before.  I can't sleep on the ground, no way.. and it probably wouldn't be very good for hubby's back either.  And I also want to buy a canopy type thing to set up over the picnic table at the camp site.  So we have shade.  But I am so excited.. lol 

Isn't it funny?

That is kinda funny.

Hubby is a long time camper, and loves absolutely everything about it. I on the other hand, don't like sleeping in the woods, or in a camper, can't stand cooking over a fire, don't like bugs, miss my air conditioning and I could go on, but I won't. LOL He would LOVE it, if I just woke up one day and said wow lets go camping. LOL

God's Blessings,

~About Me and My Blog~


This is where I come to reflect on my life and weigh how I am doing in regard to the goals I have for myself. Some such goals are to have a closer walk with my Lord and Savior, work on making my marriage stronger, keep a well run home and make healthier living choices for me and my family. We are usually quite busy in the summer time showing our horses and my daughter is a cheerleader, not to mention working outside around here and gardening. I like the idea of growing our own food and canning it, but I have never tried it. I would love to learn. Winter time will slow down some and we spend more time on inside activities such as crafts, stamping and scrapbooking. I also want to do some baking this year.. and maybe attempt some Strawberry Freezer Jam with my daughter.

I believe in the sun even when it's not shining,
I believe in love even when I'm alone and
I believe in God even when He is silent.
