"A freakin' 12-gauge, waddaya think?" I shot a gun this weekend. Two of them, actually. And one was, in fact, a freakin' 12-gauge. It kinda hurt, but only for a second. I don't have a picture of me shooting it, but included is a picture of Kippy shooting a 22 (which I also shot) and Nathan holding the 12-gauge in the back. Looks big, huh? :)










This is Nathan and the deer he shot with his dad. I tried to avoid sending the pictures with the deer's insides showing. I don't want to get nauseous when I look at my own blog (no, I'm not pregnant).











And the girls, who spent the weekend having fun! We watched Gilmore Girls, played with each other's hair and Kim did Mel's makeup. I cut Suzie's bangs (which is the last time I cut hair. Ever :).

My Daddy
Since Momma can't seem to find time to post stuff, I thought I'd post this silly one of dad from when Xander was born. I wasn't there, but mom sent me the pictures and now this picture is on my desktop at work. One of the professors was a little confused as to why I had that picture up... :) If he only knew...

My Fishy! Here's a picture of my beautiful fish that Nathan surprised me with on Friday. His name is Pez and I love him. :)


Alas, it wasn't meant to be. He died today. Good thing I tried a fish before I tried a kid. I'm definitely not ready. You can all cry with me if you'd like. :(

Happy Halloween!...A little late. Finally I have a bit of time to put up these pictures. These are just some fun pics from carving pumkins at Martha's and then my Halloween party at work. Stella was the star of the evening in her little skunk costume. :)


This is the picture Nathan took right before he stabbed me with a pumpkin poker. It has finally healed (I also stabbed myself in the finger, lest you think he's the only one stabbing me).
These are our pumkins! (the two on the right. Mine and Nathan's is the fish...I was a little bit obsessed...And AJ and Josh's is the one with the Stars! Wait til you see the back!)
Okay! Here's the back. In case you can't tell, it says "Stella" I think these two are a little bit obsessed with their kid... :) This is at my work party. I am a gypsy (that was fun) and Nathan is the Brawny man -- he thought of that in about 2 minutes. :)
For those of you who haven't seen "Over the Hedge" the skunk on that movie is named Stella. What a perfect costume, huh? She was the highlight of my work party -- she even got some votes for the best costume.

My Babies!
Okay, so maybe they aren't really my babies...and maybe I should be doing homework instead of creating collages...but it's so CUTE! (and it will have to do until I get my fish!)

Trip to Moab

This is all the girls who went, minus Paige who wasn't feeling well and was sleeping: Mikelle, Carolyn, Lindsey, me and Meredith













Then the boys: Darrin, Ethan, Nathan, Jordan and Bennett (all looking very pensive, I might add).


We took this picture of the girls while we were waiting for the boys to get back from mountain biking. We actually took about a thousand pictures with our phones before I realized I had a real camera with me...






This is Nathan and I next to Landscape Arch -- the one we're all hoping to be there for when it falls cause it's gonna be cool!
And the slightly gay looking fellow is Darrin. :)
He climed this rock and couldn't quite figure out
how to get down, so he started acting like his
brother-in-law who, apparently, has...tendencies... :)
We were all laughing pretty hard.

Okay, here's a bunch from the wedding. Good thing it's taken me over 3 months to get them up. We haven't even printed any of them either. :) Anyway...

Here are some of our engagement pictures. Take a look!
