Mitch has been off work this week and it has been super nice being off as well. We were able to spend a lot of time together, which doesn't happen often when I am working, since he is on nights. He is on the waiting list for a position on days, but he doesn't think one will open up anytime soon. So we are just praying something happens because this night shift is getting rough. I can't even explain how different our lives are... I have one other good friend that has been on nights before and I feel like she is the only person I can talk to about it. If you have never experienced, it is a lot harder than people think. But we know this is just a season of our lives and we are so thankful for the plans God has for our future.

| I love this guy! |
The beginning of the week we hung at home and just relaxed. I have been trying some new recipes-- I'll have to share them with you soon. Most of y'all know, I love Trisha Yearwood, so ever since her cooking show started last year, I haven't missed it. One of my favorite things to do it watch her show and then make something she made. So I tried out some good recipes that I hopefully will post soon!
We also spent some time in Bentonville this week. Yes, we do go back A LOT, but we love it there. We both still consider it a home. We are very lucky we are so close to spend as much time there as we want. We always enjoy our time and love getting to see our family and friends. I was able to do lots of shopping one day. As you know, I have a "tiny" obsession with the razorbacks, so every-time we are there, I stock up on shirts and house decor. I got some really cute stuff- I just love all the new little boutiques in Bentonville and of course the shops in Fayetteville. While I was checking out at one of the stores- this little old lady that worked there was talking to me. She saw my OK drives license and said "with all this new hog stuff, they aren't going to let you back into OK". I laughed and told her how I actually lived in OK and told her our story. I told her how I use to work for the U of A and she said if you live in NWA or go to school/work at the univeristy- it will change you quick and becoming a hog fan is contagious. She made the comment right when I was leaving- once you truly experience AR and the Hogs, you can never go back! Ha I just laughed because as old and funny as she was, she is so right.
We were able to spend some time with Mitch's parents as well- it is always nice to see them. We also were able to see our good friend who just got engaged! It was so nice to see her and her beautiful ring! It is such a fun and exciting time- we are very happy for her!
Other than our trip to nwa- we have been doing some golfing, trying to finish some of the last projects on our house, and tending to a hurt puppy. Yes- Bella has been taking up a lot of our time this week. We noticed at the beginning of the week she had a spot that looked pretty bad on her paw.. so long story short, we took her to the vet and she either has a bad wound that has got infected or a spider bite. It looks awful and she is on 7 pills a day!
Poor girl- the medicine makes her so sleepy and so we have been trying to let her relax as much as possible. It is finally starting to look better and I am praying it is back to normal before we leave her when we go on our trip. She was finally able to go on a walk last night without too much pain. She was so HAPPY to get out. She loves her walks.
Affair of the Heart is also going on this weekend. It is a huge craft show and it is wonderful. I spent Friday there with my mom and we had some good finds! They always have good dip mixes and they even had some cute Hog stuff!
