Well, April, let’s see…

At work we stayed busy with some matches and a Marine Corps Wounded Warrior Camp. The camp was enjoyable because there were only 11 athletes, which means we got to really know the shooters on the range. We also to go take a tour with their group inside the vault of the Berman Museum. The Berman Museum, in Anniston, is really cool anyway. This guy was a spy in WWII and collected (traded and stole) artifacts which completely fill a 3 story museum. They have trick guns (pens, belt buckles, etc), guns from each war and country, swords and Asian art. I’ve been through the museum twice but I’ve never been down inside the vault; which is where they keep all the artifacts they don’t have room to display. Hundreds of pistols, guns, swords, arrows, crowns, and medals of honor are all stored inside this vault, that we got to walk around and touch!

We also spent a little bit more time in a hospital as J’s mom is battling high blood pressure. However we were able to all gather at their home for Easter and spend some holiday family time together.

J and I spent most of March dog sitting, which at this point has become more like dog-stealing. We love watching our friends dog, Rexi, so much we get excited when it’s “our weekend” to have her. We joke it’s like shared custody.

We also took a few weekends off work at the end of April and worked around the house. We bought and set up a new bedroom suite, which I absolutely love and we got for a steal! We planted our garden with a lot of vegetables and are praying they don’t all decide to become ready while we’re gone in June. J is planning all kinds of projects around the house; like getting a bee hive to produce honey. I’m just glad we got the garden in… one project at a time.
