Too many things!

We must never forget 9/11. I stole this pic from my friend Holly.

Once again, so many things have happened since the last post. 

I always love when my Sister and Nephew come down. Two weekends ago was particularly fun as we met at Easton after work on Friday and then went to Build-A-Bear. I assumed that place would be expensive like the American Girl madness but was pleased they offered a wide range of options. It was hard not to upgrade to the beating heart but he loved the build just the same. Apparently you can build more than bears! His fluffy puppy is named, "Cloud," but I called it Mr. C! On Saturday we got a personal tour of Columbus Station 14! It's the Elvis themed station. Our visit was made better by the fire pole demonstration and the fact they had to zip away on an actual run. That night we went back to Build-a-Bear too buy a firefighter outfit for Mr. C. A great weekend overall!

Labor Day weekend we went to Bentonville, VA for Camp Chimney! I sure do miss my DC friends and it was fabulous to catch up with them in such a casual and relaxed environment. The weather was great except for a little rain the last night. While others scrambled for ponchos, T and I decided to head to bed early. I was grateful we were well rested for the drive home on Monday! Seven years of camping with our tiny 3 person tent and it finally gave out. The screens have been a little stretched for the last few trips so it was a relief when a pole snapped. The decision was made and we could plan a new tent. 

This past weekend we ventured to Harrison for one night to visit T's Mom. She finally got her new house finished and moved in. It's super nice! His sister also bought a new house. The 50s charm impressed me. The best part of the trip was a stop at REI. I can't believe we don't have one in the Bus. I can't wait for the next camping trip as we can actually stand up in the Hobitat! We also tricked it out with a bunch of options! Stay tuned!

Finally, this work trip was delayed a day because of the #USAvMEX match! Our win secured us a spot on Brazil and the #DosACero tradition continues as we beat them two to one again! It was a good time tailgating, people watching, and most importantly, winning! Off to D where I'll work for three days and then stay for Dallas Pride! My BFF is headed up from Austin with a posse so it should be a great weekend!
