Last weekend we had our very first official visitors, and they decided to come in bulk! :)
Dallas' brother, Dylan and his girlfriend, Lesly came to visit us in good old Bossier City and to see what our new home had to offer. All they were really looking for was some delicious sea food, and some casinos. He found both. :) They got here on Friday, and then my besty from Texas A&M (Neely Hall Roomies- Freshman Year) and her boyfriend Raul (Plus their 130lb Lab, Dagan) arrived on Saturday.
We had a house full, but had a serious blast with everyone.
Fact: This is the first time I have seen my besty, Marah, outside of a wedding or funeral in the last 3 1/2 years. Busy, busy lives and a man in the military are to blame for that.
I showed them what the Dirty South had to offer too.

Casinos:
Getting Cash out at the Casino- A necessity!
Pretty Serious Gambling
Besties all grown up.
Something I have been personally excited about, Gators:
We celebrated Marah's Birthday a little early- and I made her a delicious cake!
We LOVED having everyone here, and had such a great time. Just what I needed before I start school on Monday!
In other news we FINALLY got the grill we have been wanting for a while! Its awesome! We have been grilling fools lately, and are really loving it!
The Chargriller 50/50
We couldn't decide whether we wanted a gas or charcoal grill, so we got both!
Getting the grill ready for some steaks! Yum!
After everyone left, my week made a downturn with a sick kitty, and a bad $200 veterinarian experience. Don't get me wrong, I am not mad about the money, just the service we received and the fact that Moe Kitty was traumatized when he left and still had to be taken to yet another vet to get him fully fixed for another $60 bucks.
Thank goodness our Enid Vet was nice enough to talk to me on the phone, and tell me what kind of medications and treatment he should have received, so I could get it right the second time at least.
I am happy to report Moseph is doing much better!
Yesterday, though, the group here at Barksdale got together and attempted to make some homemade Taffy.
Ellen and Amy pouring the hot taffy in to pans.
And pulling the taffy.
Super fun and Sticky!
We aren't sure if we did anything correct, or if we over-crisco'd our hands during the pull, so we left everything for Amy and Derrick to figure out. :)
While the girls were making taffy, the boys were playing some poker!
Some real "Man" time. :)
It's always a fun time at the Smith's House! They have a lot of room for us to gather, and always have the most original get together ideas!
So that's basically what we have been up to in the last few weeks, and have really been having a nice time exploring the new area and getting back in to our own routine.
Whew! Picture Overload!
I will leave you with this. Hilarious. (Thanks for sharing, Annette)
Cheers,
Megan and Dallas
