I was right. It was a great weekend! Sara and I had a blast at garage sales. Sometimes it's not buying it's watching that proves to be a pretty darn good time. And at garage sales in Dodge City.....there is plenty to watch. We did end up finding a couple sweet deals though! Sara found some great picture frames. I bought more mason jars for the wedding (Yes, I'm cheap). We found a few more treasures and then decided to check out the Flea Market. We both found some good buys, or at least we think they are. We each got a camel back trunk and they are AWESOME!
I know it needs some work, but I started last night and I really think it has some potential. I also think it has about 80 layers of paint and 40 layers of wallpaper or something on the inside. But don't worry I'm determined to make it look better. Sara and I also figured out why men don't want their wives to drive trucks, it's too easy to load furniture....or in our case, 2 loads of furniture!! Thanks for letting us take the truck Dan!Well we couldn't stop at the flea market. We were doing way too good at shopping and having a fantastic time! So it was on to the antique shop. 
What a great idea! More good buys. Sara hollered at me and showed me this table, which I couldn't leave. Good find, Sara! I just knew it would fit way to well in my dining room, and guess what, it does. Sara also found a BEAUTIFUL rocking chair too. I wasn't kidding when I said we do good work shopping! We both agreed that a trip to the antique store in Kinsley is in the near future. Just hope we can steal Dan's truck again! It was a great day. We found some good buys, got to see each other's houses, were helping each other come up with decorating ideas, and decided the men in our life probably wouldn't want us hanging out very often! Oh well, I think we can keep them quiet with Coors Light!

I was so happy to see them. And they were so happy to get out of the car. We did 
a little shopping at the mall. (Like we hadn't had enough). Then I took Ashley and Amanda out to our place. Showed them the house, and started getting ready for a great night! All dolled up and we were headed into Dodge, got a few good laughs at the local businesses, and added a little culture to Ashley and Amanda's trip. We met up at Central Station with Sara, and then hit up some of the bars in town. And guess what, this is the only picture I took! Way to go Kels! We did have a great time and I am so happy the girls came down. It was great to see them!

Sunday morning came and nobody was feeling overly energetic! So biscuits and gravy it was. There is something magic in a good breakfast that will always cure my hangovers, and it worked again! The girls packed up and headed back north. Dan and I decided a quick cat nap was in store! Then we were off to register. We got registered at Gibson's Pharmacy and Walmart, and then decided that I could do Target by myself.
Dan and I are truly blessed to have the most wonderful friends in the world. We met a couple at Cattlemans that we absolutely love, Ben & Jean. They have been so great to us, and we love their company. I was complaining about not having a kitchen table. I hated making nice meals and eating in the living room. Ben & Jean had an extra one in their basement so they gave us a table! But they didn't stop there. Those two are the neatest couple ever. We truly truly love our time with them. Jean cans, crochets, quilts, knits, paints, sews, you name it, she does it. And Ben is equally as crafty. He makes a lot of beautiful things in his shop. Spurs, fireplace sets with horseshoes and deer antlers, anything out of wood, all kinds of things. We got to their house Sunday night and he had made this napkin & salt & pepper holder for us. Isn't it gorgeous? And the picture does it no justice. I can't tell you how truly thankful we are for Ben & Jean. Not only are they great friends, but they have a great marriage and we hope we can be like them someday! 
So, like I said, I was right and it was a great weekend. I had so much fun all weekend long. How wonderful it is to live a life surrounded by amazing people!!
