When you just need that extra little someone watching over one of your favorite people…… you tape the first letter you received from him on top of the plaque that means everything to all of us.

So many of you have asked how Aiden Frederick is doing! And all indications are that he is doing great! He has determination and confidence as he’s heading into the second half of his journey!

Please say a prayer for his REAL Mama Bear Bobbie Frederick because this is weighing on her heart every day, but just like she knows, we all know that he is going to excel! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

❤️🤍💙🇺🇸We got a letter from Recruit Aiden Frederick🇺🇸❤️🤍💙

It made my heart so happy and the timing was so perfect because I have a stack of stationary to bring to the bar so everybody can send their good wishes and I will mail it!

My goodness, I miss this young man! I am so proud of him!

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…..
I LOVE our staff and I LOVE being a part of their milestones in life. Soooooo much!!

My spicy Amanda has been here the longest…8 of our 12 years!! I’ve watched her get a new job, get a promotion, get married to Kyle, buy a house, buy a bigger house and now she’s about to have a Bear Trap Cub!! (And his name is “Move aside Klyde!” 😉)

And sweet Catherine, I don’t know how it is that I got lucky enough to have you walk through my door and ask for a job, but I am so thrilled that you did! And just like with Amanda, I have watched her graduate college, go to graduate school, graduate, get her doctorate, and now get engaged to the love of her life Ethan, who ALSO worked for us.

So what do you do when one of your kids is having a baby in August and another is getting married in September…

You have a
SWEET & SPICY
A BABY & A BRIDE SHOWER!!

Thank you so much to everyone that came out this afternoon to celebrate my two beautiful girls and the next chapter in their lives!

I love these 4 & a half humans more than words can express!

BABY & A BRIDE
