Update

This year I drew out for two great tags, one in Wyoming and one in Colorado. We had quiet the time. This is definitely something I love to do with my Dad. Usually I have no Idea what I get put in for until the day my Dad calls to break the news and usually (always) he is more excited than I am hah! I do love hunting and enjoy everything that goes along (besides the gutting :/).

Wyoming Deer
Colorado Deer

I thought I would throw this in here. :)
I guess they wanted to teach me young!!!

On Saturday My mom and I went to the Christmas Gift Show in Sandy, Ut. This was the best thing I found (for me). They are sticker adhesive nails. They are SO cute I can't even get over it!!! They stay on your toes for like a month..or two :D and nails about 2 weeks. Check it out at Jamberry!


I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving.

The Oak Tree

Today we went to a CES Fireside where Elder Ballard spoke. He gave this GREAT poem that I thought I would share with you all :)

The Oak Tree

by Johnny Ray Ryder Jr.

A mighty wind blew night and day.

It stole the Oak Tree's leaves away.

Then snapped its boughs

and pulled its bark

until the Oak was tired and stark.

But still the Oak Tree held its ground

while other trees fell all around.

The weary wind gave up and spoke,

"How can you still be standing Oak?"

The Oak Tree said, I know that you

can break each branch of mine in two,

carry every leaf away,

shake my limbs and make me sway.

But I have roots stretched in the earth,

growing stronger since my birth.

You'll never touch them, for you see

they are the deepest part of me.

Until today, I wasn't sure

of just how much I could endure.

But now I've found with thanks to you,

I'm stronger than I ever knew.

Love me-
