Southern Alberta :)

So this last weekend we went on an impromptu road trip down south. Okay... we had kinda planned it a week before we went down.
My sister Becky had her kid's baby blessing on the 11th and we didn't want to miss that.
Daniel reffed the Saturday night however and didn't get home till.... 1:20. (I was asleep) Well considering he was wide awake and had woken me up and we were planning on leaving around 3:30 AM anyway... we jumped in the car while it was still warm and away we went. :)
It was 2:00 by the time we got out of Lloyd. :) awesome.
Well by about 3:00 I decided to cave and sleep. But oh yeah... being pregnant my body craves sleep yet detests it at the same time. Sleeping in a car... not the best idea. But I managed to curl up in the back seat and mummify myself so I wouldn't hear the radio and got oh 1 1/2- 2 hours of sleep.
By the time I got to drive it was 5am. Best shift ever! I got to watch the sun come up and the fog disappear! it was cool. though all the Fog was reminding me of the movie Brigadoon (anyone?) I got to find it and watch it again.
Well we made it to my parentals house at 8:30. Impressive hey? They were a little shocked they were expecting us to just walk into church right before the baby blessing. SURPRISE! haha
Well we made it to the baby blessing and it was wonderful! I got to hold that cute little niece for the first time! :) LOVE IT! Becky makes thee cutest babies. just saying. :)

Another reason for us going down south was so that Daniel could go hunting and be a man and bring home meat for our deep freeze.
So they (Daniel, Greg, and Bryan) set off Monday 10:00 and were gone till 4:45. it was a very unsuccessful day.
Tuesday (Daniel, Bryan) left around 6 AM. were gone till noonish. Successful for Bryan but no luck for Dan.
Wednesday (the day we had to leave we had decided to leave by 2:30) Daniel went out around 7:30 with Greg for a little bit out around my g-ma's. .... Nothing. I went out with him for a little before lunch.. bad idea. I got super hungry and had to pee (that equals a grumpy wife. mixed with a hubby who hasn't shot anything grumpy truck) So my grandma fed us and you could tell Daniel was ready to give up. Then my sister came in saying she saw a buck running through the trees. Wow did Daniel move fast.

****According to some hunting stipulations he can only shoot a buck in the Magrath zone. Which is a bummer cause there are millions of Doe's around. But you have to put in a draw for that****

So he ran around again (it's about one o clock he told me he'd be back by 2:30. At about 3 I started to wonder where he was. He wouldn't answer his phone so I was a little worried but I figured I'd freak out around 4 if I hadn't heard from him. Cause lets face it Magrath area is a dead zone.. especially when it comes to reception service! Well shortly after I decided this I got a call from him saying that he'd shot a buck! Wow was he excited! like I could feel him jumping out of his pants over the phone!
So I came out to my grandma's and found this:

I have a very Happy Husband! :)
And a lot of meat for our freezer! :) :)
