Dinner at the Duncan's can always be an adventure in its self. When Little Bug takes it under her wing it just gets crazier. She loves to play waitress and cook and comes up with awards and such. When I was down loading pictures for a project I was working on, I noticed the video from the summer and had to post because they made me smile.
We are all feeling better as the Little Bug was out a couple days last week and Bug was out for 6 days. She is back and hopefully doing well. We will have to wait to see what happens when she gets home from the bus. I don't know if she is going to be overwhelmed or not.
I had a bit of a cold this weekend but am feeling better. I couple hours on the couch and I feel like a new person.

Fashback: Big Trip to Indiana
I figured that I would title all the summer travel entries or little memories of the girls growing up that pop in my head as "Flashback". I have a rolling screen on the computer that has all the pictures go by and sometimes I will catch the cutes things. Just a little something to help me keep track of everything.
We started our "Girls Only Rode Trip" to see Aunt Lei and family in Indiana. Not only did we have a long trip ahead of us but we wanted to make it fun. The first day we headed out at 9 a.m. to see where we could get to in one day. We did not really have a plan, just a map and some books on tape. We really had an uneventful trip on the first day. Driving through Atlanta made me a bit nervous so we had to get coffee after. Little Bug wanted us to get at least one state away from Georgia so for her, our goal was at least Kentucky.
I know that I learned all the states and capitals in school and where they are all located but it really did not hit home that we moved to Georgia until we were driving through states like Tennessee, Kentucky and passing cities that I have always heard of but never thought I would see like Nashville, Chattanooga, Louisville, Indianapolis and a bunch of little town along the way.
We thought about stopping at a zoo or two but Little Bug and Bug were determined to get to the cousins. We made it all the way to a little town by Mammoth Cave and stopped for the night. A storm was coming in and I thought it would be fun to go to the cave in the morning. Off to bed to get ready for the next day ahead...

13 Crazy Years...
Well, Garrett and I celebrated our 13th Anniversary this week and I find it so funny to look back and see how we have grown up together. And yes we do have a ways to go but I think it will be a fun journey.
You see Garrett thinks that I am going through a mid life crisis and I don't know why. Just because I have dyed my hair crazy colors, swam a mile in the lake, working on running a 5 K, thinking about getting a new tattoo ( It is a L with two ladybugs, but have not decided yet if I am going to do it), and thinking and praying about teaching a class on the Catholic Faith to prisoner at the jail in South Carolina (Need a good excuse to get a good cup of coffee). No, mom have have not decided to do it yet as Garrett is not so thrilled with the idea. Now, I know it may look like a little bit of crazy but I am having a great time.
Last night Garrett and I went to the Melting Pot for dinner. Totally fun and a bit different. Then we went to Savannah Smiles a Dueling Piano Bar. It was a blast. I was dancing and singing in my chair and Garrett was just laughing at me. I think that might be one of my parts in the marriage is to keep it fresh and add a new layer to our lives. You see the older we get the more mellow Garrett gets and the more free spirited I get. Who know where we will end up in another 13 years but I am so glad that I have him to take the journey with me.

Oh, by the way Garrett and Bug made me a Rosary for my anniversary present. The thing I like the best, it is missing 3 beads. My engineer husband miss counted and forgot the 3 little beads at the beginning of the Rosary so one decade is three short. He says he is going to fix it but I really don't want him to. That is want makes it fun and unique. I do have Garrett's long history of good intentions that don't come to fruition working in my favor. As long as I don't remind him, I might get to keep it the way I have it. What is 3 little prayers anyway.
