Its Hunting Time!

Not sure how to start this out or what I really want to say but, here it goes...

Its hunting time! Elk season is just around the corner and I am super excited. Although my father and uncles are big hunters, I grew-up in the city and did not have much opportunity to go out and do any serious hunting. It wasn't till' last year that I really got into it with my first elk hunt. It was everything I hoped for, almost. I was able to enjoy the outdoors, the snow and the beauty of the wildlife. I saw deer, moose, wild sheep, and anteloppe... The almost part was that I didn't see one Elk... not a bull... not a cow.... nothing. I am more hopeful this year though, I have a new gun, and a new hope. My father-in-law who has worked as a hunting guide just landed a nice bull... (not the same one in the picture, but it was nice)... This is his first bull in about 15+ years from what i understand, so I am hopefull that I will have success. Wish me luck!

HAPPY HAPPY B-Day

EVERYONE!!!! It is another year and another B-Day has passed for my lovely wife. Cheri is one year older and wiser too as of yesterday... Amongst my research of useless information I found a survey that proves birthdays are good for you. Statistics show that the people who have the most live the longest. So there ya go... you've lived longer than everyone younger than you... Imagine that.... I love you shnookem... Happy B-Day!!!

The Wonderful World of Adam

It has been too long since I have contributed to the wonderful postings and updates that my lovely wife has provided. Let me update you all from my perspective as to what is currently happening in the wonderful world of Adam... Well, as you all should know by now, I have changed my major to Chemical Engineering. Crazy I know!!! You may have asked why? Why would I change when I was so close to completing my BS in Business? Well, it wasn't working for me... That is, I felt as if I was going to school just to go to school. To get a degree. To get BS... (pun intended) There was no excitement in the path I was taking. It was very broad and undirected. So, I was faced with a choice; what interests me enough to do it the rest of my life. I researched my options thuroughly. Trust me! I always do... (Cheri hates how I must research everything!) Somehow, I am still not sure how, I ended up deciding Chemical Engineering. So, I am currently on my path to becomming an Engineer... I must confess, I have never taken chemistry. I wasn't required to do it in high school so I never did... Everyone told me it was difficult so I didn't bother. This made me nervous as I approached my first days of class. But, I love it. Chem is the best. I love the math and I love the labs... Not everyday that you can tell people you were burning magnesium and playing with thermite at school. So, I am not scared any more. Aside from school, work has been very stressfull and exciting...so, typical. And, that just about wraps up my life... School and work, work and school... I am sure many of you can relate...

Tag Tag Tag-a-roo

It would seem that I have been tagged so here goes :)

3 Joys:
1--My first joy is typical and I had hoped to come up with something clever, but here goes: I love spending time with Adam any chance I get and my family (in particular my siblings)! They are always there for me no matter what and push me to better myself.
2--Shopping for shoes, accessories, and new tops!
3--The Fall! I love carving pumpkins, having candy cane and apple spice smells permiating throughout my house, and the color of the leaves changing! It's the best!

3 Fears:
1--Sirens and large trucks(fire engines, garbage truck and the like)
2--Spiders! EEK! Well...pretty much anything creepy, or crawly.
3--Food Storage. I get freaked out about "being prepared" every general conference. Sigh...perhaps I could lay this fear to rest.

3 Obsessions:
1--Grey's Anatomy (super addict!)
2--My elliptical!
3--Cookies... current favorite: the lemon zest cookie at Paradise Bakery.

3 Suprizing Facts:
1--I baked rolls from scratch for the first time ever yesterday. Pretty delicioso.
2--I don't like routines. (I get bored easily...perhaps not a suprise to some).
3--I dyed my hair for the first time ever 2 weeks ago!

NOW! I tag...
Kari cause she needs to blog already!
Jacque because she is new to blogging!
Mindy because its time for an update!
and Megan because her stories always make me laugh!

NOw GO!

It's the Hap Happiest Season of All

Welcome to FALL my friends! I have what some might say Fall Fever! There is just something in the air in the fall that is different than any other time of year and the sun becomes warm, not hot like in summer, but warm like a blanket! And the autumn air has a crispness and a sweet smell unlike any other time of year. Sigh! Everything about the fall I love! I love the day when I can whip out my sweaters, boots, jackets, the hot cocoa, get carmel apple cider from Starbucks, and carve pumpkins! Oh and the colors! The smell! My birthday! Halloween! Thanksgiving! And my absolute favorite the leaves!!! There is just something completely irresistable about the fall! I can't wait to get home and cuddle up with my down blanket and read a book with the candles glowing in the background giving off spiced apple and pumpkin scents! SOOO GREAT!!! Happy Fall Everyone!
