Who Saved Who? Athena's First Adoptionversary

Celebrating 25 Years of Marriage

A couple of weeks ago, I had the honor of attending the 25th wedding anniversary party and vow renewal for my in-laws. Their story is one that continues to amaze and inspire me each day especially as the hubs & I continue on our own marriage journey. While they didn't get married under the best of circumstances and they haven't always had it easy, they have always had each other, love and faith in God who has helped them through the good and the bad. It was a wonderful evening filled with food, stories, laughter, friends & family, dancing & most importantly, love.

Fighting the Flea Army

Prepare for battle!

Ever since our fur baby spent the weekend with my dad at his farm while the hubs & I were on our anniversary trip, the Langston house has been fighting a war against fleas.

At first, we tried the normal flea medicine, flea baths and even flea carpet powder. When the soldiers still seemed to be battling on, we took to the Internet for research and made our own lemon water spray.

The combination of all those seemed to decimate their numbers greatly, but not completely.

Thinking we were in the clear, we allowed her to accompany us for an afternoon of frolicking fun on Sunday. However, while she was there, she managed to pick up even more hitch-hiking, mean fighting fleas.
