Fall Is Here

I guess that we are now officially into Fall. Things at work are starting to slow down a bit which is nice. It kind of stinks not having any leave built up since this is my favorite time of year to be gone.

I have been out two times now trying to find Elk with no luck, but both times I was able to get into a few birds. I am really hoping I can learn some stuff about this area that I am hunting so that I can get Katie into an opportunity. This is her first year hunting and I want it to be a good experience. Her school and my work schedules have not aligned very well so far, but the hunt goes to the end of the year so we should be able to get into something. Katie did go on her first Dove hunt and was able to bag four. I was pretty proud of her. She was so excited when she knocked that first one down.

The only other thing that we have been able to find time to do together is watch BYU football. This is the first time in four years that I haven't had season tickets. I also have been to every home opener since the 2001 season. It just wasn't in the cards this year. I have been working on Saturdays as well so that means that we have to watch the games delayed. Well, I do. It is too much for Katie to wait that long so I told her she could watch it live. I don't think that I could wait around. We sure have enjoyed the start of the season and really hope we can finish strong. Katie told me that she would take me to whatever bowl we end up at this year. I guess that will make up for not going to any in Provo.

It has taken me a while to get some updates on here. We have been pretty busy. I will get some wedding pics when we get them back. We sure have done a lot in our last three and a half weeks of marriage. A couple receptions, a trip to lagoon, HAWAII, Antelope hunt with Fred and Aaron... and as soon as we got home we were back to work. I am actually going to be gone for work the next week or so. It kind of stinks but I guess it is what it is.

I am continually impressed with my wife. She was so much fun on the hunt and it was so exciting for me to watch her take things so serious and have so much fun. I cant wait to get her out on her own hunt.

I was also impressed with her on game day when BYU opened their season. This was the first time in five years I haven't had season tickets and the first time since 2001 that I have missed a home opener. I had to work so we recorded it on the DVR. When I got home Katie had the house decorated and coupons to take me to what ever bowl BYU goes to this year. I think it was as rough on her as it was on me to wait tell later to watch it.

We are so happy together and so grateful to everyone that did so much to make our wedding and beginning of our marriage so wonderful. We are so blessed to have such great friends and such a wonderful and supportive family.
