Caleb goes deer hunting every year he draws out.

His age group has a lot of hunters in it, so he only draws out about every other year. So far he hadn't ever gotten a deer. The deer hunt in Utah is at the end of October, so sometimes it's still warm but sometimes it's already snowed, depending on the year. This year the weather was horrible. It was FREEZING cold and rained and snowed every day of the hunt. He was only able to go out 3 (half days) out of 5 days because the weather was so crappy. On the very last day, right as it was getting dark, he had a good shot at a spike, so he decided to take it.

As an animal lover, it is sometimes hard to be married to someone who likes to kill them (well, deer at least). But I was actually pretty excited for Caleb because he had gotten his first deer!

I'm totally aware that it has been a LONG time since I last blogged. Not that anyone reads this, but if you do and you have been wondering if we have fallen off the face of the planet, we haven't. There's nothing exciting I can blame my absence on.

Work has been crazy!

At the beginning of the school year, the 6th grade teacher that I aide for was MIA for 6 weeks. Her husband had heart surgery and she took work off to help him recover. SO, I was the substitute for that time. I did win this though...

After the 6th grade teacher came back, things went back to normal for a couple of weeks. THEN a math teacher in our middle school left, SO I became a middle school math teacher for a month. I have a huge soft spot for all the middle school kids at my school because I was their aide when they were in 6th grade. I was even the 8th graders 6th grade teacher for a half a year when their teacher left. Today was my last day as their teacher because they hired a new teacher that will start after Christmas break. I have to say that I am really going to miss those middle school students. I loved seeing them every day! I am pretty excited to see the 6th graders again though, so I guess I can't be too sad.

So, now that life is back to normal (at least for a little while I hope!) AND I'm on break until Jan. 3rd, I can catch up with my blogging!

We'll be seeing you soon!
