It's Almost Time!!

It is almost time for the reenacting season to start back up!! I'm *so* excited! Saturday we had a civil war dance workshop, and my good friend Sarah and I talked about the reenactments we are going to attend this year! After being back in the dresses and dancing I am ready! I *love* camp life, it's so peaceful and fun. I love it more than modern camping! Hope you all have an amazing Monday!

The Search for a Tent

So with reenacting I normally use a tent that our general has. Let me be the first to say it is an amazing tent. While I am grateful he lets me and my dear friend Sarah use it, I think I am ready to buy one of my own. Or at least I am ready to put a little money aside and save up for one. I have been doing a lot of researching on finding "the one." Now "the one" needs to have a few qualities before I think about buying it. Things such as a decent price tag, good amount of room, east to put up (since it will be two women putting it up), and that is about it I believe. I hope that I will be able to find one in preparation for the events of Summer 2015. If anyone can suggest where I might look at, feel free to let me know!

Pleasant Hill Reenactment 2014

Earlier this year (March or April, can't remember) I went to the Battle of Pleasant Hill Reenactment. It was such a great one and I loved visiting with some dear friends of mine! :)

Sometimes you have to take a 19th Century selfie!

Can't get enough of posing in my new outfit!

Getting Ready!!

I have exactly two more days until Civil War Weekend at Old Washington State Park! I'm so excited! This will be my first time volunteering for this event! I have volunteered for many different events that the park has offered, but never have I volunteered for Civil War Weekend. Not only will I be giving tours in one of the houses, but I will also be attending the ball we host every year there. What could possibly be better? As a reenactor I can't think of anything better than that!
