So it has been way too long since I last posted. Well, I am still waiting to find out if I have been accepted to grad school...so no news there. I officially switch to the weekend shift on November 9th...so same ole stuff right now.
Ben and I have been to a couple of Auburn games this year ( Can I get a War Eagle!!!!) Still love my Tigers through it all. I am still holding on to the hope that they remain better than Ole Miss..hehe. We shall see come November.
Believe it or not, Ben will be out of town for that game. He is celebrating our two year anniversary by going to Colorado for an elk hunt. However, I am not going to be there with him. It is a total boy's trip. He will be going with his dad, brother, and brother-in-law and will take a 3 hour horseback ride to the middle of nowhere and left there for a whole week!!! Sounds like fun right?? My hubby has been a hunter practically his whole life so HE is not the one I worry about...it's the Bears and what not that scare me. That and the fact that there may not be cell phone service in no-man's land.
So about hunting....I did not grow up around it. So therefore, it took some major getting used to at first. In Woodville, MS....that is what the men do. HUNT. It is abnormal if you don't have a four-wheeler in the back of your truck. Ben absolutely LOVES it!! It really is funny to watch him get excited when the weather gets a little cooler. He goes out into his shop and gets all his "gear" ready weeks in advance and then starts going out before the opening day to "scout out some land". I think he is secretly excited that I am switching to weekends because he can hunt all weekend long without me there to nag him about it:) I have gotten used to it now though. It just means that mom and I can go shopping:)
So here's to my hunter...hope he shoots a big ole elk!! I still have yet to figure out how he's going to get the thing home?????

Hi Whitney!
I am super proud of your attitude toward your husband hunting on your anniversary. He'll make it up to you, I'm sure!! I don't know what it is about these Mississippi boys, but duck hunting is the ONLY event that Michael Dennis has EVER been on time and prepared for. He'll make his coffee the night before, have his oatmeal all set up to go....He'll know where his duck stamp is and everything. Trying to get to work each day on time is very hard for him. He usually forgets his wallet, cell phone and/or stethoscope. Anyway....if you are interested, I'll give you tips on how to make his hunting trips work in your favor. I have several!!
And, maybe it's best that he's gone for the Ole Miss/Auburn game. That can be rough on the marriage!! :)
Let him hunt. It'll lead to a happier marriage. Do you have any single friends with the same outlook as yourself? Looks like I'm moving back home very soon! Kinda excited, but bittersweet.
