The last few weeks has been a bit crazy around here. My oldest daughter attended her Senior Prom. I helped her pick out the fabric and made her dress. That was fun. I am so glad that I could do it for her but it was quite the project. I will have to post a picture or two, maybe tomorrow. We have passed around a cold. And all the normal day to day stuff that keeps me so busy.

One great moment of the last few weeks was when one of my favorite bloggers, MomwithaPrep held a contest where she was giving away an autographed copy of a book written by TheSurvivalMom (another one of my favorite bloggers).  I have been wanting to purchase her book for some time but haven't had the money. Well guess what? I won it!  I am so excited and so surprised that I actually won it!  I am intently watching the mail for it to arrive and will be sure to let you know when it does.

We also had a new retail store open up around here a week ago. It's called Gander Mountain. It is a firearms and ammunition store. The also carry some other camping and survival equipment. Since hubby and I haven't ventured into the firearms arena yet it was quite the experience to check out that store. At first I told Hubby that I felt like I should be nervous being there like all those guns made it dangerous, but then I realized it was probably one of the safest places to be. Who in their right mind would cause trouble or attempt to rob that store?!!!  Every other person had a gun holstered on their hip and that was just the ones I could see!

We made sure to fill out a card for Gander Mountain's gift card drawing. Maybe we will get lucky again and win that contest too! That would be something, wouldn't it?
