Musings from Llamaville

A friend reminded me I haven't had an updated post in a while.  I would like to write that all has been quiet, but it's really been a very busy few months.

The llamas started on a new healthy lifestyle, and have lost a total of 27 pounds to date.  And then they fell off the wagon, and have been ignoring the little voices that tell them to start back up again, and so have gained back 2 pounds.  Today it starts again - no more excuses!

We went to a family wedding this weekend.  I say this with all respect to my family and friends in Arkansas...but who would've thought that the nicest, "fanciest" wedding I've ever been to would be in Little Rock, Arkansas?  My youngest cousin got married this weekend in Little Rock, in a gorgeous church (Cathedral of Saint Andrew), and then had a wonderful reception out at Pleasant Valley Country Club.  Dinner, dancing - and good times with family.  I sure wish Camden was closer to the Rock - that 2 hour drive can be quite a trip.  And of course, what is driving with Chelle without getting lost?  I missed the "first" 430, and saw a sign for Shackleford, and thought, well, I know Shackleford, duh.  We ended up taking 30 West to Benton, hanging a left on 35 to Sheridan and eventually found 167 (187?) and made it back to Camden all in one piece.  And only about 10-15 minutes behind Uncle Wayne, who KNEW where he was going.  :)

This will be a long week.  We leave on Wednesday, the 22nd to head back to the Rock.  Protech, Fit Test, testing to watch, friends to cheer on, judging (5 rings!), and compettion.  And the 3rd Annual Party at Laurie's House!  I'm so looking forward to the trip.  It's the most tiring fun I'll have all year (until we go skiing, and while that's fun, it's somehow not nearly as tiring).

PS...wanted to add some pics...this is for Thumper. :D
