Bryant also got his first buck this year! For our wedding I gave him a Remington rifle and he was so excited to get our there and use it. Bryant & Verl went out early Saturday morning and he got it within just a few hours. Although, it sounds like it took many more hours to clean it...gross. It was an eight-pointer! We are so excited about the deer jerky in our near future - and someone is excited about putting the rack on our wall. I'll give you a hint - it's not me. :) Good thing we have a "man cave."
Several holidays have came and gone. We had a great Thanksgiving at home with both of our families. On Thanksgiving Day we spent time with the Muirs at Shirlee's house - lots of good food and card games! A few days later, we had Thanksgiving at my parent's house - which again was filled with food, food and more food!
We also spent our first Christmas as a married couple at home this year. We actually were able to stay for a little over a week! We spent Christmas Eve with my family and went to Midnight Mass (which was actually at 5:00pm) and opened presents. Then we headed off to Ruthie & Verl's so that we could wake up there on Christmas morning. We had an awesome breakfast, opened presents, and then headed to Grinnell to spend the day with the Ostmeyers. Being at home with both of our families and our friends was as great as always. Although, I think we both came back about 10 pounds heavier after spending so much time at our parents' houses.
We were also able to spend New Years Eve at Stockton. Nate & Julie invited us to their house to celebrate - which was so much fun! We have lots of resolutions and anticipate that 2011 will be a great year - although 2010 will be pretty hard to top! :) There are only a few things that could make 2011 better...
*Unfortunately, I took little to no pictures over the holidays, so I don't have any to post. :(
This past weekend we went to the Chiefs playoff game - which while disappointing, it was still alot of fun! :) Currently Bryant is back to the grind at work and I am sitting at home organizing for my LAST semester and waiting for classes to start up again. We have decided to get back on the diets again, as one of our resolutions is to be healthier. So far we have done awesome - although it's only been a little over a week...but we're optimistic! I have been spending alot of my time grocery shopping and learning how to cook healthy. I have already made quite a few meals at home and have planned out all of our meals for the next couple of weeks! Lets hope I can stick with this resolution. Quitting smoking is next on my list. I have already cut WAY back - but now need to figure out how to give it the final kick. Any suggestions? I have considered Chantix, but am worried about side-effects. (Sounds kind of stupid coming from a smoker, right?!)
Only one semester to go and then I prepare to take the BAR exam. This summer is going to be tough - but at least I won't be living alone in Wichita. I plan on doing BARBRI, the review course for the BAR exam - so that should help to keep me on schedule and motivated over the summer.
Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year to all! :) Cheers to 2011!
Bryant, Danielle & Belly
