Good afternoon to everyone. I was hoping to be able to write sooner during the break than now, however, hunting has been my primary focus. I feel bad because I really haven't gotten to see a lot of people I was hoping to see, but I haven't gotten my deer yet either. I did get one small "doe". I saw the deer laying in the grass about two hundred yards out, so I shot it and got it. I thought it was a decent size doe. But when I got up to it, it was a tiny (the size of a dog) buck. He doesn't have antlers so he still counts as my doe. I am still trying to get my buck. I have had a few shots at a couple but they were all running and I am not that good of shot yet with a rifle to pick them off on the run. I still have today and tomorrow to get my buck.
I left St. Louis Friday morning and drove all day. I got to Adair, home, about 5. I ate supper and grabbed my winter clothes and hunting clothes. Then I went the rest of the way to Nebraska. I got here and saw one friend. Then I met up with Bill and Jami and saw all the improvements on the house. The abandoned house I lived in this summer now looks like a million dollar home. The only thing they have left is a little trim, counter tops, and carpet. Then they have to go through and clean everything and they will be ready to move in. It will be an awesome new home for them and I am excited to see them in it.
Saturday we pretty much hunted all day. Sunday, we hunted all morning, and then that afternoon and evening I got really sick. I had a stomach ache all afternoon and then that evening by the time I got to the deer blind the pain was so bad I couldn't stand it. I walked back tot he Jeep early and was burping up all kinds of acid and gross stuff. Then that night when I got back to their house, I was puking and sick all night. Monday I didn't go sit that morning, but by the afternoon I felt well enough to go back out with them. I am feeling completely normal again and back to my full eating habits.
I plan to continue to hunt and see friends in Nebraska this week. Friday morning I am going to go to Omaha to see JoAnna, and spend most the day with her. Then Friday night I am headed back to Iowa because Nate and Kari and the boys will be at the parents. Then I will spend the rest of that week in Iowa. It has been a great break so far, minus being sick, but is going by way to fast.
I just wanted to give an update and let you know I haven't forgotten about you all. Thank you for your continued support. Hope all is well with all of you.
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank you so much for this wonderful break full of fun, hunting, and time with friends. I thank you for keep me safe while hunting and thank you for helping me get over my sickness. I appreciate all You do for me and all my loved ones. Please be and abide with us all, now and forevermore. In Your Son's most holy and precious name. Amen.
