Young Love!!

Oh the feeling to be young and in love.... 

We attended a wedding this past weekend where the bride and groom made being in love look so natural and easy.  We have waited for this wedding for a long time and as expected we had a great time.  I know that they will have a long and wonderful life together.  Congratulations Mitch and Misti!!

At the dinner table we sat with Megan and Jordy.

There was some time to kill while we waited for our table to be called to go up and get our food.  

What to do to pass this time??

Spoons of course!

This is not as easy as it looks. 

The love that Chris and I have grows stronger as each year passes.  Spending time with Megan and Jordy reminds me of when we were young.     

Feelin So Fly Like a Cheesehead

I heard this on the radio and had to post in honor of the Packers. 
GO PACK GO!!

Packers and.....

We went to our first Packer game this past weekend.  It was a very cold day but we dressed for the chilly  weather and I am glad to say that I did not get cold at all. The outfit that I had to wear to accomplish this was not the most stylish outfit, but it did get the job done.  Chris has two hats, a coyote and a bobcat, that we wanted to wear and WOW did we ever get the looks and also some compliments.  They sure did help to keep the head warm. 

Before the game I was playing with the cameras settings and actually took this next picture totally by mistake but I think it came out kinda cool.  I had turned it on panoramic not really sure what it would do and this is what I got.  I love it when the planes fly over!!

Okay, now to the rest of the days story.

On the drive home we kinda got into a situation with a deer.  There was no avoiding this one!!

Of course I was not real happy with the result but at least no one was hurt and my car can be fixed.  It was quite an ending to a great weekend.  I have a vacation day today and my plan was to relax and start decorating the house for Christmas but now I get to go to town and see the insurance guy and then head to the garage to turn over my keys to the body repair man.

Idaho Hunt

Chris is finally home from his 2 week long elk hunt in Idaho.  No elk to bring home but he did get to see some beautiful country.  He didn't take too many pictures but this one did catch my eye.  They were walking one day and came across this skull and horns.  It is a 3x5 but that they figured it was killed by a wolf.  

He says he got close, within 25 yards three different times, but never had a shot.  If he had been hunting with his rifle he would have gotten it, but with the bow it was just not a good shot.  He is already talking about going next year. 

Happy Birthday to my Honey

Have you ever bought a new grill that you had to assemble?  Well that is what I got for Chris for his birthday this year and we were slightly intimidated when we laid out all of the pieces.  

This picture is only about half of the pieces.

We started out slow, having to take apart some of our steps after later realizing that they just did not look right.  I was reading the instructions and Chris was assembling.  We had some pretty good teamwork going.

After a while things moved along smoothly and we realized it was not going to be as bad as we had initially thought.  It was worth staying up past our bedtime to get it done.  I did not go to bed until after 9:30!!

 Here is my Grillmaster with his new toy.  The grill is half gas and half charcoal.  

Did I mention he loves to grill out for me.
