Our Weekend

This weekend was a very busy one! But not necessarily productive. On Friday Cowgirl had an appointment with the groomer for the first time. We went out the door in the morning only to discover that the Jeep had been broken into. They took a few things but I don't understand why they took what they did.... They took the radio face plate which is useless without the rest of the radio. They took the registration (we picked up a new one on the way to the groomer). and the worst thing they took where James' nice Kevlar gloves that he uses for just about everything, we will have to replace those before he deploys. After we did what we could about the Jeep we went to the vet to pick up Cowgirls shot records then took her to the groomer. After dropping her off James and I bought her more food, a new leash and coller, and a new dog tag with new phone number and an AZ address. After that we took those home and then went shopping for 2 birthday gifts. We picked up cowgirl later that afternoon and they had trimmer her and bathed her and she looked so good but the best part was that they put little camo bows in her hair! They where SO CUTE! Even if she did loose one as soon as she came out the door. Doesn't she look good?At 4:30 that evening James and I needed to be at Drill. James unit put on a drill weekend for helping and informing the families of deploying Soldiers. We dropped off Cowgirl to board at Dog world and then got ready to go. Friday we got done at 9 pm and decided to stay at the hotel down town because it was closer to the convention center and our room was already paid for! So after drill on Friday James ran home and got clothes and essentials. On Saturday we got up at 5:30am and spent all day at the convention center going through classes and discussion groups. We got done between 5 and 6 pm. We went back to the hotel cleaned up and got ready to go to our friend Jen's birthday party.
We hung out at the party and ate and had fun for about an hour and a half. Then exhausted we headed back to the hotel and went to bed. On Sunday we once again got up at 5:30 so we could be at the convention center on time. We where there till about 1:30-2 pm finished, went to pick up cowgirl, and went home. Both physically but more so mentally exhausted. It was a weekend of information overload. The problem was that it was not all helpful or useful information. It was like trying to find a handful of jewels spread out through a mountain of information. But now it's over and James and I are working on finishing up all the little things. there are 3 weeks left to finish up everything. Luckily there is a lot to do but it's all pretty simple and we should be able to get it all done without many problems.
