In my last post I ended with a thought that Bentley hurt his leg when he fell off of the couch when the doorbell rang… well… Our poor sweet baby has a broken leg. HE BROKE HIS FEMUR! Can you believe that! Man.. it has been a mess. He is still crate bound for a while. We are going on 3 weeks. It has seriously been like having a child. We get up like 3 times a night to a crying pup, let him out to potty, and have to plan ahead to give his daily rounds of meds. Lord have mercy! We have been alternating who gets to sleep on the couch to tend to the dog. At least one of us needs to get some good rest. It can get a bit cranky at The Garrison house if we don’t. =)………………. Or if I don’t…….. haha….
Two weekends my friend (and pledge sister) got married in Brinkley Arkansas. I was going against all odds to make it down there. It was the weekend that we got our second dose of a considerable amount of ice/snow mix. Of course mom was updating me all week of the blizzard that would be coming through and saying that roads were already shutting down for the next two weeks because it was just going to be that bad…. Haha… I couldn’t miss it though. Clay was given the option to go to the men’s conference at our church or go to the wedding. Needless to say… I drove down to little rock to get my BFF J-sho by myself! Haha. We had a girl’s trip together. The roads got so bad that I wasn’t able to make it back to Fayetteville so I spent the night with the Shooks. Jennifer got up and made my favorite breakfast! Waffles!! How did she know I was checking out the closest “waffle distributer” on my phone! Lauren was a beautiful bride.
So that next week I was informed on the March 4th that Kayla would be getting engaged on that Friday night the 6th. Talk about the HARDEST SECRET TO KEEP! Oh my goodness. I was sooooo excited. I was in charge of rounding up friends for a engagement celebration in Little Rock. I am so excited for these two love birds. I am going to have to give a shout out to the man that made it all possible… Mr. Scott Keith. He had the sweetest way of popping the question. Kayla was ecstatic and definitely surprised! I can’t wait for their big day. Kayla is one of the best friends that I could have ever asked for!!!!! I have not seen the couple since the engagement so these are just random pictures that I have of them.
So this past week we had Kami’s state tournament. Shiloh made it all of the way this year. I was a nervous wreck at the Final’s. From the second we walked into the big arena to the second the game ended I was a basket case. The memories of high school basketball came rushing back. The mixture of excitement and fear all rolled into one ball…. As was my stomach….. I told Clay that when we have our own kids I may have to sit out in the car and listen to it on the radio. I mean.. my hands were sweating bullets and my heart was pounding out of my chest. Kami, on the other hand, looked calm as a clam. There were a few moments in the game that she showed some “nervousness.” But she was solid all night. Nothing got to her. I am amazed. I would always panic. I would choke under the goal. I would fall countless times. Not Kami, she would post up.. rebound… shoot.. pass.. and never be phased.. I am ridiculous because my hands are sweating as I am typing this paragraph. Hopefully I don’t ruin this keyboard. But anyways… SHILOH WON STATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow, it was so exciting! I am so proud of Kami! A great night that will never be forgotten.
We just got back from a weekend getaway to Branson to celebrate our two year anniversary! Hard to believe it. Well, our actual anniversary was Tuesday the 17th. A lot has happened this past year for us. Clay got a job, we got a house, I graduated with my Master’s, I passed my boards, I got a job, etc.. big stuff.. fun stuff… make you a nervous wreck kinda stuff. Haha. But we have survived and have been blessed with so many wonderful things. I highly recommend the Welk Resort in Branson. What I don’t recommend is having ….what sounded like the “Duggar family”…. playing guitar hero/rockband…. Or chase… or monkeys jumping on the bed… or whatever the heck they were doing….. right above you. I was so glad when those kids tired themselves out and went to bed!
