Feeling Creative













Sometimes I look at different photographers and photos and it will motivate me to take some of those kinds of pictures. I was thinking about my horse and saw some pics like these and decided I should try them.

Finally Pictures















Our Humble Aboad































Hard wood floors in most of house. There are some updates of course that we'd eventually like to do. The bathroom is the first room. Wall paper is also going to be coming down in most if not all the rooms, or we'll texture on top of it and paint.

Nothing New

I guess it's been a while since I've blogged. A week I guess. I enjoy reading everyone else's so much that I check them everyday to see if they've got something new but mine stays the same. Oh well. We don't have internet at home right now, so I have to check them at school. I need to take my comp. home so I can put on my camera program to add some pics because it's really boring if you don't post any pics.

We've been in our cute home now for almost a month! And I've already locked myself out twice! Needless to say I've found a way in, so if I can, so can everyone else. Of course the first time was in the morning on the way out to the car to work. I forgot my keys inside and all of the 5 exterior doors we have were locked. So i had to jimmy the screen and push up the window I knew was unlocked and shimmy in and hang my big butt out the front window on the street. Thankfully it was at 7am and no one was really around. I shimmied in and gracefully did a front roll off the ledge. I would later have to do this again after i was fooling with the keys to the dead bolt and it didn't unlock. Once again I found myself doing my "gymnast" thing and getting in my house. Yes, I will put a key outside once I take the time to figure out where all the keys we got go.

Hunting season is in full swing and Jason has gone elk hunting 3 times now and saw one but it was too far away and getting late. He did shoot at a big mule deer and hit it in the front feet. His friend Rick that he was with shot it and killed it, so Jason gave the deer to him since he killed it. It wouldn't have been a rack and story he would have been proud to share anyone. "You shot that deer?" "Well, I didn't shoot it but it's a big deer." No, that doesn't work. So he's going again this weekend with someone else and hopefully they'll see more bulls or bucks.
I kind of like it when he goes because then I can have the house to myself and do what I want to do or just veg. Vegging is good. Must get the scrapbooks out and work on those. I'm soooooo far behind, I'll never get caught up.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Okay, so the title is a little late to all the Canadians but I was able to celebrate the Canadian holiday this weekend with my parents. They missed it with my grandparents but I decided since they were missing it and it was Thanksgiving, that we would have our own. It was nice to do it with family and we had a good time together. Not to mention the awesome food we made along with our 14 lb turkey which Jason and I are still eating leftovers (really we don't mind, it's way too good to pass up). Mom and Dad wanted to see our new home which I think they liked. Even the small bed they slept on together wasn't too bad or so they say.

We took them to Billings on Saturday for some shopping. The Canadian dollar is worth more than the American so they got their money's worth. They had even gone to Grand Forks the weekend before for some shopping. Jason and I were the lucky recipients of this shopping trip though. We had made the comment how we wanted to get a new dining set because our chairs are really loose and wobbly. They said they wanted to buy us a new set. Off to Billings we went. We've both kind of been liking the newest style of the counter height tables and chairs, so that's kind of what we were looking at. We found a set at Ashley's that was nice and for a good price. And right next to it was the leather couch and loveseat we've been dreaming about and wanting to buy. We pointed it out to mom and dad and we asked the price. It was on sale along with the loveseat and a new area rug. They couldn't pass up the deal and decided to also buy it for us. It was like Christmas! So we'll get it all in November. We also got some birthday and easter money from my grandparents. So to add to our new house and new furniture, (Faith you'll be happy to note you don't have to eat on my blue dishes anymore) I bought the white square corelle dishes. They're huge. I didn't think about the size or the square shape until I put it in the microwave and the table almost didn't turn, but it works.

We met up with Jason's family and all went for dinner. Sunday we slept in and leisurely got the turkey and dinner ready. Went to Cody for a drive and Walmart and played the new DVD Clue game. I think we all had a good weekend. I even had Monday off due to Columbus day, so I took off to Billings to exchange a robe and got my new dishes. It was nice to go by myself because I could where I wanted to go and dawdle if I wanted to and not have someone asking me to hurry up.
