Ok so it has been probably over 2 years since I posted anything! So here I go! Well it has only been about a year since my last little blurb that wasn't much got posted, but now I'm not working so it might get better! Ok in a year we have got our own business going, lost our cute dog bear, found out we are having a baby boy, and I went on a hunt of a lifetime and shot a bull elk!
JUST TRIM
So the buisness, Andy got his tax papers done and we are officially, official now. The name of his company is Just Trim, because that is what he does, custom finish work. So he wanted to keep it simple.
THE BABY
I'm loving the fact that I actually look pregnant with this one, cause I never showed with Jasmine!!!
Me after shooting the bull, and me with my bull!

THE BABY
I found out I was pregnant the last week of June, I'm due March 1, 2011 but the doctor says I'll probably go early with this one like I did with Jasmine. We are so excited to be having a baby brother, and yes I know everyone wants to know if we have a name, but the answer is no cause we can't agree on anything, its a family effort to name this child! I'm now 7 months along and ready to be done, I am very uncomfortable and can't do anything without having contractions.

THE HUNT
My elk hunt was AWESOME!!! I drew a tag for the Grouse Creek area, and Andy was jealous, but very excited too! We scouted a herd for 
most of the last part of summer, and had a pretty nice bull found for me. The hunt started September 17 we had my dad and brother, Andy's dad, brother and family, and his nephew and wife that came out for the excitement. The first day we went and hiked for what seemed to be miles for me, but I'm extremely out of shape and was then 4 months pregnant, we never got close enough to shoot anything but we did see them as they went over the ridge!!! The next morning I wasn't feeling well so I told Andy I wasn't hiking that if we saw something it would have to be all but on the road for me to even concider going after it, so we left and started glassing a listening for them, we had almost given up hope when my dad and brother saw them and they were just getting ready to cross the road. We got out of the trooper and ran about 200 yards off the road and about 5 min. later 4 bulls came across the road, I was sooo excited and nervous that when Andy stopped them I just went for hell!!! I shot at the biggest one in the group and missed it 3 times, by that time he was long gone and Andy just stood there shaking his head. We thought we had missed our chance, so he got on the radio and told everyone I had missed. His brother came back on and said that there were 2 bigger bulls coming in the exact same place so to stay there and sure enough here they came. I got positioned better and let them take their time coming across the road and back to us, and Andy told me he wasn't going to stop these ones. Well he didn't have to they walked out in front of us at about 125 yards and stopped. I shot and hit it right behind the shoulder, then I was shaking so bad I couldn't hold the gun still enough to look through the scope again. The bull took like 7 steps and stood there for what seemed to be forever, then layed down and took his last breaths! By that time Andy had called everyone on the radio to come over and see me on my emotional high, cause I didn't know wether to be happy, sad, or what, all I knew was there was a huge animal down!!! It was great cause my dad was there and when he got to me he hugged me like he was soooo proud! We walked over to it and I had never seen something that big dead in front of me, all I could say was " Holy Shit!" Its pretty funny cause its all on video and I think I said it well over 100 times! Crystal took all the pics, and it was a very awesome experiance!
