Merry Christmas To All Our Troops Overseas

Just want to wish a Merry Christmas to all of our troops overseas who don't get to be together with their families this year. They sacrifice alot for us and their families. May God bless them and keep them safe.

Hangin Out in Banff

Here are a few pictures from our last two weekends that we spent in Banff just hanging out and spending time together. We went for a hike as well near Canmore and it was really nice.

My Hunting Trip

I know some of you girls are gonna think this is sick but I've been raised doing this and I love it. I went hunting today with Dan and my mom. My brother dropped my mom and I off at a coulee, which is like a little valley with a stream going through it and a bunch of brush, for us to sit on the side of the ridge while he "pushed bush" for us, which means he makes the deer move toward us. We sat there for about 15 - 20 minutes before a bunch of mule deer came grazing about 100 yrds away. I let mom go first cuz this would be my first deer and I was having a hard time with positioning. So she took a shot and got the first one on the ground. We cleaned it up and got it in the truck and decided we would go again because there was another herd coming through the coulee and I still needed to fill my tag. Dan and I dropped mom off this time to push the deer towards us and then we went right into the coulee to wait for them. Almost as soon as we got into the coulee we saw the deer coming but they were running away from us. All of the sudden they stopped, turned and started running right towards Dan and I in the middle of the brush. I couldn't stand up because they would see me so I just sat on my knees until they got about 25 yrds away. Then they stopped and looked in the opposite direction of where I was kneeling so I took advantage of this and got a doe in my sights and I took her down with a headshot. She didn't even go anywhere she just dropped. Believe me, I was pretty excited and it took a minute for it to sink in that I got one. lol Here is the picture to prove it.

Just Me

I'm not a perfect girl. My hair doesn't always stay in place and I spill things alot. I'm pretty clumsy and sometimes I have a broken heart. My friends and I sometimes fight and maybe some days nothing goes right. But when I think about it and take a step back, I remember how amazing life truly is and that maybe, just maybe I like being unperfect...

Man! Time sure flys!

Well...it looks like it has been a year since I've posted anything. Sorry folks. lol. Anyways, lots has happened around here. I had an awesome summer for one. Probably the best summer I've ever had. I met a guy named Case at the beginning of June and he hit it off with my family from day one and we hung out all summer. We had a blast. Anyways, that filled up my summer pretty good along with work and just regular everyday life. Almost everynight that we hung out with Case, we didn't get to bed till about 3 or 4 in the morning. I don't know how I survived but here I am. And I definately don't regret one minute of it.

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and my favorite time of year. I love fall and wearing sweaters, drinking coffee and walking through the crunching leaves in the cool crisp fresh air. MMMMMM...I love it!! So tomorrow, we are having a thanksgiving dinner here at our house with some family for company. I think it will be fun. My sister in law, Coco and I are gonna do some baking I think. I can't wait! Well...that's it for now. I'll try to post some more soon. See ya!
