CHRISTMAS EVE!!!
Wow! This week has gone quite fast. Sunday we were at my Great Grandma’s for church. We had a little party at her place Sunday afternoon, then we got home packed up, and went hunting! We left here around 7:30-ish, and I enjoyed the company of Brad Kupser, my dad and Nathan the whole 15 some hours to Colorado. We got there around 1:00 Monday afternoon, and then went hunting that evening. During the first hour of our hunt, Nathan got his elk. Then later on that evening near sunset Brad and I both got our elk too. So we took pictures, gutted them and loaded all of them in the truck. That night we stayed at a really cheap but cozy motel, with hopes of getting 3 more elk the next day. ( One for Marty, Katy and Brian ) So we got out on the field around 7:30AM, then come noon.. All of our tags had been filled. It was practically a new record. 6 elk in 24 hours. ( And we even slept! ) So we headed home Tuesday afternoon, and drove through the night until we reached home about 10:00 AM Wednesday morning. Because we got home early, we had extra time to cut up our elk. So Wednesday and Thursday we spent all day processing our meat into hamburger, jerky and a couple roasts. Thursday morning I took my drivers test, I scored a 90% and I got my permit! ( Mom took me out to the bakery to celebrate ) Then yesterday we went up to my grandma’s house to celebrate Christmas. ( Dad’s mom ) I got a lime green hoodie from her. :) Tomorrow is church, and then there is a Christmas eve service at 4:00. So it should be a full day. ( Pretty sure we will be doing our family Christmas thing tomorrow night as usual ) My dad is making jerky right now, so I better go help!

I don't even remember which ones I got wrong on the drivers test, I think one of them was something about visibilty during fog. I've been driving up a storm though, and keeping track of my minutes. So far I have 105 day minutes, and 75 night minutes, and my dad says I'm doing well. ( So I guess you can sleep well tonight! Without worrying about me crashing that is )
Merry CHRISTmas!
