My buck








Well, I had dreams of shooting a big Montana monster buck and an elk this year. After walking miles and miles, climbing mountains and hills, low crawling through cactus, on the last day at the end of the day I settled for this muley buck. He is better than nothing, but I did cry like a baby because he wasn't nearly as big as what I wanted!!lol! Maybe next year will be better for this girl!! (or maybe Ill just have to get a new guide!lol!!) Not really!! I am so blessed to hunt with my best friend!! He is also an incredible pack mule and butcher!!LOL!

Blessings to yall! j

Its a crazy life!! But I love it!
















The Air force decided to remodel our house so after 10 years we had to move across the base. I knew it wasn't going to be fun! But I really had no idea how much work it really would be! I don't think Ive ever done anything more exhausting in my whole life!!! We moved over 35 thousand pounds of furniture and stuff into our much smaller brand new home!!! We were so blessed with friends who came and helped us and friends who let us barrow a truck and a trailer (there were no moving trucks available for us to even rent) It took us 11 days, from the time we woke up until we collapsed with exhaustion to get all of our stuff out of that home with 3 children in the middle of it all!! Then we began the process of cleaning our house up to military standards!! Several dear sweet people from church came to help including Pastor Pam! They scrubbed cabinets, floors, walls, bathrooms and toilets !! I must say I was horrified! and humbled! And so very, very grateful!!! We are in our new home and the 2 car garage is full from the floor to the ceiling with boxes and furniture!! I'm not sure that we will ever get out of boxes!! Now that we are into the Christmas season we have our tree and decorations up and we are determined to make this season special with our kiddos!! So we have been enjoying Christmas movies, crafts, games, yummy food, snuggling, stories of that precious babe in a manger!! Our Jesus the reason we celebrate!! In the midst of whatever craziness is going on in each of our lives, may we keep our focus on Jesus!! Its all about Him!!
Love and Blessings!! J
