The Changing Seasons!! AUTUMN :)

I cant even begin to describe how much I love this time of year!! From the changing leaves, to the cool air, to the beautiful scenery and so so much more!! My friend and I were talking the other day and she asked me what my favorite holiday is....... you know I have been asked that before, but I never really gave it that much thought. My answer: Halloween and Thanksgiving. My reason: the time of the year!

I remember when I was little, my cousins and I would go over to my Grandma Walkers house and make leaf houses. We would rake all the leaves into a pile and then take them and draw lines all around the yard, kinda like a floor plan for a house. After that we would play house for hours and hours on end. Then it never failed that my crazy little boy cousins would come destroy the house that we had spend hours making :) Ha, ha, ok not hours but at least one hour :) Gosh i miss the old times!!! We would also rake up the leaves into a huge huge huge pile and jump into it!!

Nothing is better that Fall at home on the ranch though!! I LOVE walking through the crispy dry fields on those cool days!! Wow, I guess if you havent gotten the vibe yet, I just love this time of year!! :) I cant wait for the first snowfall :) Hope everyone has a great day :)

Money, money, money!!

Ok, just allow me to vent!! I am completely disgusted with myself lately! I am going to first start by telling you something that my grandpa Walker told me. "Kristie NEVER ever get a credit card, those things are trouble!" Ok now let me tell you this, YES they are TROUBLE!!!
Grandpa knew what he was talking about, and like a foolish girl, i went and got 5 of them!!! YEAH, 5!!! The worst part is that I didnt realize how fast they accumulate! So if you cant already tell, credit cards are my problem!

This morning I woke up absolutely dreading the day (its bill day). Brian turned on the light and asked me if I was going to go hunting with him, i rolled over and threw a fit because he wouldnt turn the light off and let me go back to sleep. (after all I had only had 1 1/2 hrs of sleep) Well that was my first and biggest mistake of the day! Brian went hunting and ended up getting his deer, he was alone and I was supposed to be there with him, but i was selfish and went back to sleep. Next thing I know he was walking in the bedroom telling me he got his deer, and telling me the whole story. It was so nice to hear him tell me the story of how he got the deer!! :) Well then he mentioned that he had taken it to the local meat processing place and proceeded to tell me that the Elk was done and we had to go pick it up. Worst part was, we have to pay for it! That was the 2nd trigger for the day! Poor poor brian got an earful!! Money is a huge problem right now and I was not gonna hear anyone tell me that we owed anything else! Gosh that poor guy, I just dont know how he handles me some days! So the rest of the day has been kinda awful... for me anyways! Just a word of advise to anyone who ever even thinks about credit cards..... DONT DO IT!!!
Yeah, this is all kinda mixed up but that is our life right now!

On to a better note, besides all of the CREDIT CARDS.... we are actually doing pretty good. Brians hunting season is over, however mine has not hardly begun yet, i still have a deer and an Elk to get. Brian has already got places planned to go. He is such a great husband!! He starts work again tomorrow, and hopefully gets days off again soon, because I miss him like crazy!! Hunting is awesome, but when you are stuck home and you hubby is gone all the time you really start missing him!! The little Critters are doing great, EXCEPT..... Jayda refuses to use the litter box and alwasy poops in the opposite corner the litter box is. SO taz does the same thing she does, and it causes their room to stink SO SO bad!! dont know about brian, but I am about ready to go INSANE!!! First of all, I am super sensitive to smell so the second i walk into the house i am overcome with that yucky stout sour smell!! Brian notices it but not as much.... he dont like it at all! I guess bottom line there is we better get Jayda on the ball! OK, ok, ok, yeah that started out positive but ended negative.....sorry, it has been a rough day!! Well people i dont have much more to say right now but will write later!! talk to yall later! :)

A new addition to my family!

Hey there all! Well yesterday Brian and I got Taz a girlfriend!! :) Her name is Jayda, she is too cute! Taz is in heaven, they cuddle, cuddle, cuddle, and play until they drop! They are so full of energy. Jayda is still trying to get used to her new home so she is kinda skiddish, but lots of fun to play with. One major difference between the 2 of them is for sure their gender. Taz is a little DEVIL literally. He is always into some kind of mischief, and he loves to climb up pant legs! Jayda, well she is very high maintnance, she runs like a girl, acts like a girl, and is a cuddlebug! gosh i love my litte critters! (top left is Jayda, top right is Taz)

Randomness!! :)

Ok so I really loved that diet things, it worked, I lost weight for sure, but now that i am down a few pounds i think i want to the rest of it off naturally! seriously it is better to be healthy and live that way than to diet hardcore and then just stop. Another benefit is it dont cost much money and you get that really good sense of accomplishment when you reach your goal. I kind of have the healthy eating thing down pretty good, so it will just be a maintaining thing for now :) However I am sure i will turn back to that diet sometime :)

So i was thinking the other day...... I had heard at one point that my graduating class was having a 5 year class reunion, so if that is true, it should be coming up here shortly! Wow that could be really fun to go to! Lots of my fellow classmates are married and having kids, most only have one but some are on 2 and 3 kids! WOW, that is awesome! Another thing is all of my family is getting married off and haveing kids like CRAZY!! It is so fun to read about all of their fun experiences with those precious little babies! Someday, I will join that crowd :)

Well I really dont have much to say but hopefully later. Will write later :)

Hunting Vacation

For the last 2 weeks Brian and I have been on hunting vacation! It was so much fun! we hunted lots of different areas, and got onto a lot of huge animals!! I saw numerous HUGE BUCKS!!! we were archery hunting so by the time we got close enough to get anything it got away! ( OK by the time I got close enough it was long gone) Brian made 3 shots on Bucks and 2 of the arrows hit a branch, so no luck for him on deer so far! I never got to make a shot on anything, (YET) As you can obviously see, Brian got his elk though :) It is a 6x6, and was a 40 yard shot! He is so happy with this Elk, it is the first one he has taken archery, and the biggest one he has ever shot. The funny part is the day I stayed home and let him go up with his friends is when he got it. HA Ha typical huh :) I am so proud of him!! Now its my turn.... rifle season starts soon, but I want to get one with my bow, so we will see what happens. :)
