Hunting Season and Other Good Stuff!!...

It's that time again.. update time! It's been a Great month and a half! We have done a lot and have had some great things happen to us! I have to say we are so blessed. At the beginning of October, October 5th to be exact, ATK let 550 people go. Mark fortunately did not loose his job. We were so nervous by the time this rolled around, but we made it through and are really happy he is still employed.

At the beginning of October we were also able to go and enjoy conference with my side of the family, it's always a good time to listen to the prophet and his counsel!

There was a lot of mountain time the past couple of months! Mark helped our sister-in-law Alisa get her elk. He was even so kind to help her get it off the mountain, which was quite the challenge!

After many weekends of scouting, helping others hunt and then hunting himself, Mark was successful and got his deer! He is a dedicated hunter, so he is able to hunt the archery, muzzleloader, and then finally he got his deer on the rifle. He has also been successful in his other hunting outings - duck hunting.. but unfortunately he doesn't have any pics with the ducks he got,

oh just kidding just found this one on his phone.

Mark and his horns!

I was able to go down to Ephraim and hang out with my sister-in-law Aubrey and watch her cute little boy Tate, while Mark was on the mountain! Love doing that when I am down in Ephraim!

We decided to head down to provo for the homecoming BYU vs. TCU game. We sat on the 5th row which was really fun...

Unfortunately they got their butts kicked, but it was still fun to go and spend time with my hubby! We got to go and get a J Dawg which is pretty much the best hot dog in the whole dang world! It made the trip all worth it :)

Here we are at the game, super photogenic right?!? Oh and yes we did have
BYU rain ponchos on.. so AWESOME!

Our Halloween was pretty boring, I do have to admit. We had plans to hang out with our good friends Marc and Allison, but unfortunately Mark and I both came down with something and ended up laying around being miserable and had to cancel our plans. We did not even have one trick-or-treater come to our house, I was pretty sad about that, but it was probably for the best, we could of passed our bug to them!! :)

As for me I have been busy with school and work. It is going well and the semester is almost over. I registered last night for my final semester. I am going to have a kick butt semester. I get to take 3 electives and 2 required classes. I am taking sewing, sign language, tumbling, (yes I am probably going to pee my pants, and then be really sore for the first month, cause I am so out of shape) living with wildlife (where I will get to earn my hunters safety so I will be able to hunt in the near future!) and then a psychology apprenticeship class. I am pretty excited. I cannot wait for this semester to be over I will be done December 11th, and then I will not have to go back until January 11th! It is a much needed break and I am so excited to get to that point! Until next time.. Stay Classy San Diego?
