Help! I've married a 31 year-old Boy Scout!

Happy New Year to all. How do you celebrate the new year? Any resolutions? Well, we didn't have any specific resolutions or celebratory habits, but we did decide that NOW would be the best time of year to take up a new hobby. Which hobby? Well, camping of course! We do live in the South and are slowly but surely acclimating to southern life, so naturally our next step was to expand our outdoor sport repertoire.

Off to Dick's Sporting Goods we went. They seem to have a large selection of tents, good prices and...oh, who am I kidding, Anthropologie was in the same plaza and I had a gift card...Anyway, we shop around and find a great 4 person tent by Field and Stream. (It doesn't get much more southern than Field and Stream) There was only one left and the box was slightly beat up, so of course I finagled 10% off. This made Kevin extremely happy and opened his eyes to incredible power of asking cashiers for money off. It seems everywhere we went that day, he asked for 10% off...and got it most of the time :)

Fast forward to later that day, where Kevin just HAD to set up this tent. Quick quiz: If you wanted to set up a recently purchased LARGE tent, where would you do it? Now, take your time when answering this, it's tricky. Answer: Outside.......unless your name is Kevin, then it must be set up in the front foyer/living room of your home.

mmmmm, what a splendid addition to any home entrance...

The pups seemed very interested in our new purchase..

Nala thought this tent was like a giant crate for the whole family and therefore loved it equally.
