After a rough start to our weekend, a little luau bbq was just what we needed and my parent’s graciously offered to throw us a laid back engagement party at their house. Of course Mrs. Bojangles was there. And Mr. Bojangles himself. My sweet friend Molly over at Molly’s Musings who drove home late and in the dark just so she could make it to the party. Brooke & I. Without her I would not survive work. Of course, Ben loved all the attention. Thank you to all of our friends and family for all of your support and love. We love you all!

Especially the ending. You have to keep watching until the end. Saturday was reserved for clearing out the forest of weeds that decided to make their home in our front flower beds. And to keep those pesky plants…

Random Mid-Week Thoughts
Last weekend J and I went to a wedding reception of two of his friends from high school. They got married in Jamaica, and had the reception a few weekends later. Since it was in J’s home town we stayed the night with his parents and in the morning we woke up to this. Dog and Baby. Both captivated by a squirrel.
