We have been pretty busy this Fall. Katie started her first semester of Graduate School in August. She is doing very well and is complaining very little. She wakes up at about 5 a.m. every morning so she can catch the bus to Pocatello just after 6. Most nights she takes the 5 p.m. bus which gets her to the house around 6:30. That makes for a pretty long day. She does use her time wisely on the bus and get a lot of studying done in transit.
After my elk hunt, we did sneak a few days in on the deer hunt. Although we got skunked, we had a really good time and got to see a lot of neat things. One morning we jumped a group of does and fawns that had an albino fawn in it. It was the cutest little critter. I hope that we can see it again through the years. My buddy, Jason, was able to shoot a little forky. Should be just right size to get him through the winter.
Katie's little brother Jason is a senior this year. His football team did very well. They went undefeated through the entire season. We were able to see a few of his season games and all of his post season games. We even made it to the semi-final game in New Plymouth. It was a great win. The boys worked so hard, but came up just a little short in the State Championship game. Second place is still pretty darn good. It was a tough loss, but a great season.
Ryan, Katie's oldest brother, got married on November 6th. His wife, Jodie, is such a nice addition to the family. We sure are proud of them and are so grateful that we were able to be there with them on that special day.
We spent a week in Nevada for Thanks Giving. I got about half of my chores done. My mom can't get my dad to do any handy work, so it seems like every time we are home she as stuff that needs to be done. I did get out with my dad on his Deer hunt for a couple day. He ended up tagging a 3x3 that we had seen a few times when I was out with him.
One day dad and Aaron took the four older boys out on the deer hunt one morning and the rest of us met up with them at Great Basin Park. We saw a nice four point about a mile from the park that would have been an easy shot. Too bad we didn't have the tag.
