For the last week, we’ve been house sitting for two of our brides. I didn’t realize how similar they are until yesterday.

The first house we stayed at was The Ruperts, the second was The Thorsetts.

Here’s how they’re similar!

They both have dogs.
They live within 1.7 miles of each other.
They were married within 1 week of each other.
Mrs. Rupert got her dress at K&B Bridals, Mrs. Thorsett works there!
They both picked a pretty cool photographer. 😉
They both have cable and that makes this chick happy! (Let’s not talk about how much TV I’ve watched this week…)

Look how similar their dogs look too!!

Day 1468 – The Best Hot Dog Cart In Bel Air Maryland

One of the things I love about my life (and house sitting in Bel Air) is being able to take a break mid-day and do things I couldn’t with a 9-5 job. I’m also thankful that Bret has a somewhat flexible schedule these days too. A few days ago, we took advantage of this and went to get hot dogs from our friend Chris!

Moore Wieners (tee hee, I know, I know….his last name is Moore!) is located on N. Main Street in Bel Air Maryland, right in front of the court house. Since he opened last year, he’s added more and more toppings. Since Bret hadn’t had any of his new flavors, we tried them all.

From the top the toppings are…
Panamanian
Asian
Chili Cheese
Bacon Ranch Fiesta

Now, you may be wondering what’s on these dogs….well….

The Panamanian is pineapple and crushed chips
The Asian is Asian sauce and wontons
The Chili Cheese is, well, chili and cheese…this wasn’t a new one for me, it’s just my favorite. 🙂
Bacon Ranch Fiesta is a hot dog stuffed with jalapeno’s and cheese and we topped it with Bacon and Ranch

You may think the Panamanian and Asian sound a little odd, but trust me, they were SOOOOOOOO good. I’m not going to lie, I wanted to get more!!!

So if you live in the Bel Air area or even if you don’t, check out his cart!! Bonus points if you’re looking for a wedding/bridesmaid’s/mom’s/prom dress or a wedding planner/stylist because K&B Bridals/Moore & Co. Event Stylists is RIGHT down the street!

Day 1456 – Life Lessons From The Sandlot

Last night, we did something pretty darn cool.

day_01456

Our friends, Matt and Emily, invited us over to their home for movies under the stars! They transformed their backyard into the coolest movie theater I’ve ever been to! Complete with multiple flavors of popcorn, a basket of candy and old school soda bottles!

We watched The Sandlot. What a walk down memory lane! I recently realized that this movie is TWENTY years old. As if I didn’t feel “old” already! Anyways, it definitely holds up! Such a fun movie!

While I was watching it though, I realized it had a really good life lesson in it. Just face your fears.

Think about it (I’m assuming all of my readers have seen the movie…or won’t mind some spoilers…), they lose the ball, they build up The Beast to such a degree that any time he even touches the ball, they scream. I didn’t realize HOW much screaming there was! They try all kinds of crazy things to try and fix this problem. Each idea is more ridiculous than the idea before it. The whole situation finally ends when everything comes crashing down around them. Then The Beast’s owner simply states, well, why didn’t you just knock on the door??

How many times are we in situations where we create a huge headache for ourselves, digging deeper and deeper, working harder and harder…when all we needed to do was “knock on the door?”

So, whatever you’re going through…have you tried “knocking on the door” yet?
