The beginning of the year was kind of the same old thing. I was working hard at my last semester of nursing school and Joey was just working hard (like always). I really have the best hubby ever; he works so hard for our family and is a wonderful provider. Because of everything he does, we really have more blessing then I can count. The picture above is him at work, I could never do what he does (I would freeze to death). I love you babe so so so much!!!
In May I graduated with my RN!!! I was spoiled rotten with gifts and a ton of family came up. It meant so much to us. Then I started working full-time at the hospital here in Rock Springs. This has been quite an adjustment for our little family, I haven’t worked more than 2 days a month for over 3 years, but we got through it and I love love love my job!!!!
I got a new hunting rifle for graduation from Joey. It was custom made for me and he engraved it with all sorts of special things. Best hubby ever!!! I love it and it’s SWEET to shoot :)
We also got a new truck around graduation time. It was time to get rid of Ol’ Red and this new one is SO much better anyway!!
We did some camping this summer. My dad came with us and we all had a blast. Got rained on but that’s part of camping. The dogs had a blast swimming and it was hard to keep them out of the water.
Tired pups after a weekend of camping…. So cute!!!
This is a picture of Joey and his target at 1500 yards. We made a shooting range this summer out in the middle of nowhere, so Joey could shoot his .50 cal. He’s getting pretty good and hitting stuff at almost a mile… pretty impressive!!
After I got my new rifle, Joey was thinking he might need one too. So his showed up around the end of August and he was a happy as a little boy on Christmas :)
I was the only one who drew an Antelope tag this year. So Joey took the day off one day and we went hunting. Antelope are everywhere around Rock Springs. Left the house at 0500, had one down by 0730 and on the way home by 0900. Easiest hunting ever, but fun none the less!!
We both took some time off for elk hunting this year and filled 2 of our 4 tags, but we have more meat then we know what to do with so I’m glad we didn’t fill out last 2 tags. Sorry there are no pictures of our elk. By the time we thought of pictures the elk were already field dressed and not picture appropriate.
Some other things that happened this year: Joey turned 26 and I turned 25….crazy to think we’ve been together since we were 20 and 19. We had our 4th wedding anniversary, and every year gets better and better, sure love being married!!! Our Great Dane Tanner made it to adulthood without me killing him….he chews on a lot of MY STUFF. Our pitters Kayla is just fat and lazy and the perfect dog…never chews on anything :) I think I covered most of it. Happy Holidays everyone!!!
