Hunting in the Delta




Jeff and I have been getting to do something that we really enjoy this time of year. We ride in our little skiff up to the delta to do some wild pig hunting. The delta is just north of downtown Mobile. It is so beautiful up there and hard to believe your right by the city. We were able to go on Tuesday and were on some pigs less than five minutes after getting up there. You have to be really quite and listen hard. Right now there is still a lot of foliage so it can be hard to get a good view of them. The first ones we came up on never came out in to a clearing so we kept on. We rode down another creek and not long after we came across more. Jeff pulled the boat up to the bank and got out. After a few very quite minutes he shot one. It was the perfect size (115 lbs gutted). I know this might be hard for some people to read, but Jeff and I do not let the pig go to waste. I took some pictures up there so hopefully you can get the idea of what its like. Believe me, if anyone went up there they would love it too. I know I do.

Flounder


The other night Jeff and I went to our friend Tyson's house to do some fishing. Well, on my very first cast I reeled in a great flounder. It weighed about 4 1/2 lbs. Jeff and I cooked it two nights later and it was delicious. We stuffed it with crab stuffing and topped it with onions. YUUUMMMM!!!

Jamie's engagement party!!!

I was looking through my photos yesterday and came across Jamie's engagement party pics. When I got home I quickly downloaded them and never looked at them. When I came across them yesterday I couldn't help but have a good laugh. First there was a million pictures of my dad and Jamie's friend Bailey, don't ask me why. Next I scored some great pictures of Jamie and Ben. I think they should be blown up and framed to show off at there next shin-dig. Finally I came across the ones that could have got me in a lot of trouble that night. Jamie and I were walking by the pool at the party and we were joking about going in. The next thing I know, I had done the unthinkable. I lovingly pushed my sister in the pool. By the grace of God Jamie was not mad at me. I can't say the same for her fiance Ben. I just kept saying, "If she is not mad then everything is OK.". Ben wasn't buying it though. In the end we all had a good laugh about it. Next time I will make sure the person being thrown in the water is not holding there cell phone (sorry Jamie). All in all it was a lovely night. Jeff had so much fun that he couldn't even find his shoes the next morning.





My father looked like he was having the best night.

Etsy

Its been a while since my last post(sorry mom), but I have a good reason. I have been non-stop working on my Jewelry. I actually just opened a shop on Etsy.com. I thought making the jewelry was time consuming, the Internet is ten times more. I have only listed a couple of items right now, and will keep adding more. Check it out!
