I have no idea how a blog is "supposed" to work. I could get pretty hung up on this, but I am choosing to "just do it" and not get too hung up on perfection. Anyways.... I have no idea what to write. I am in desperate need of entertainment. Being seven months pregnant is both exciting and boring. I am in constant anticipation for the birth of our little boy (side note: watch it be a girl.... naw, the doctor said it had a penis.. hehe).
Maybe I will find entertainment my journaling my mundane daily thoughts and activities on this handy little site. Will anyone read it? Doesn't matter.
Ok... so here goes...
Bubba and I have spent the last three weekends hunting. (If your new Bubba is my sweet boyfriend Brandon). I would love to reveal the name of Bubba's hunting spot, but shhhh.... it's a secret.
It was fun to finally see what the hunting trip was all about. I was surprised to learn it was not all about killing things. While that was important, it was more about just going up there, hanging out with friends, and being in nature. I found it very relaxing. Even though I couldn't really hike and I definitely couldn't hunt, I loved just hanging out in the wall tent by the fire. And it's amazing what I have found myself doing while pregnant. I have been challenged to find new ways to entertain myself. I am not much of a reader (or at least I didn't think I was), but on this trip I picked up a book I probably should have read in junior high or high school or something. I read most of "To Kill a Mockingbird." I'm almost finished with it and so far it's a wonderful book.
Bubba killed a little buck the second week and Derick killed a bull on the last weekend. That's the meat and head hanging from the tree. I had never tried deer meat before. It's really good. Yummy!
Also, I met Bubba's friends who are really nice and I am glad to know them. Everyone brought their dogs. It was great -Maggie got to hang out with anywhere from five to eight other dogs at a time. She loves elk camp. So do I:)
Well, that's all for now. Maybe this blogging thing can be pretty cool. It's amazing how fun things can be when you just throw yourself into them.

I grew up in California. Here I am when I was seven years old.

Here we are... me and my crazy dog Maggie (I call her "Maggie Moos"). This picture was taken last summer in California, right before me and Maggie made our courageous trip to live in Ketchum, Idaho. We had no idea where life would take us!

So, this is me... Jessie.
