Fun Weekend to Leavenworth with our “highest bidders”

In February Dan and I auctioned “ourselves” at a church service auction. “Date Night with the Ostler’s.” Our friends, Kate and Clint Armitage were our highest bidders. After spending $100 on us we couldn’t just take them to dinner and a movie so we started planning. Dan and I came up with… a trip to Leavenworth. We invited a few more friends and turned it into a couples weekend.

One of the stores I forced everyone into was an “old photo” store. You know the kind where you get dressed up in old fashioned clothes and have your picture taken. Dan and I had done this before on a previous trip with my brother and it was a lot of fun, so I thought it would be a lot of fun to do with this group of friends.

They handed me my outfit and once I realized how little fabric I was going to be squeezing into, I thought, “this is not going to be pretty.” It was then that I remembered why the picture from 2 years ago was so much fun…..Because in that picture I was dressed like a man. This time…….not so fun……had to put on a dress.
