Finally!

At last! After 4 long years, Ry's hard work finally paid off. On September 10th Ry claimed his first Idaho elk! Shortly after climbing into his tree stand Ry utilized his elk calling skills and bugled in two bull elk. This spike came to within 8 yards of Ry's tree stand and he shot him with his bow. Elk down!

Hunting for Elk

As everyone knows, Ry highly anticipates the start of Elk season every year! Generally, he forsakes all other animals and only focuses on the elk. But after 2 nights of nothing, he happened upon a cinnamon colored black bear and couldn't resist. No elk yet but at least he's had some excitement. Keep checking back for soon to be elk pictures!

3rd Anniversary

Our most recent trip was to the Bahamas to celebrate our 3 year wedding anniversary. We went on a three day cruise out of Miami. We spent our time relaxing on the ship and snorkeling in the Bahamas where we came in contact with at least three 5-6 feet sharks! I truly enjoyed the weather, where as Ry discovered (again) that he is not a fan of humidity!

Our New House

Our most exciting news is the completion of our house! We moved in May first and have been loving it ever since. It is great to finally have some space. One of the first things we did was to adopt a few animals to add to our family. We currently have Gary the goat, Sherman the sheep, Karl the Kitten, Donald and Daisy the duck!
