Hi, my name is Katie and I am a camp-a -holic

Yes you heard that right. This past weekend we went camping- in a tent, in the woods, with potties. It was awesome! It has been some 15 years since I had been camping, not to the mountains or even staying in the mountains, but actually building and cooking over a campfire and sleeping on the ground in a tent. It was great!
We couldn't have gone with a better couple of people- you guys are amazing! The air was clean and crisp, and we had the entire campground to ourselves. We hiked, played in the stream, read books, cooked, ate, laughed and just all around relaxed.
The next trip is planned in just about a month for my birthday! YAY
Hopefully I can wrangle pictures out of the photographers from the trip soon, but yeah- I am a whole new person!

Fishstick- smooches!
Cadie- you make EVERYTHING fun and damnit I lub ya for that!
Chris- you are great, thanks for showing us a great spot!
Mike- thanks for bringing a smile to the trip!

The first BBQ of the year

Although there are no pictures to document the fun we had, (I borrowed this one from google.com ) it was awesome.
Friends came, I cooked- yes I am now almost a "grill masta", we laughed we drank we had a great time! The weather couldn't have been more perfect. I am a huge fan of charcoal BBQ's, the smell, the taste when the meat is all done- all of that. I love it! :)
We had chicken, spare ribs, veggie burgers, apple chicken sausages, pilaf, salad, fruit salad, beer, more beer, vodka, water, ice tea....... yeah
So if you were invited but couldn't make it- shame on you! :P You'll just have to be at the next one. If you made it- thanks a million for coming, I love just sitting in the backyard kicking back with laughs!
SSM, thanks for all your help sweets- you rock, and yes I know that you know that! :)
