A Birthday Surprise!

Hello friends!! How are you on this lovely, summery Saturday afternoon? :) This is not the post I had planned for today (that one is coming soon, I promise.) but Mom gave me this idea earlier and I thought it was splendid. :) 

The past year/year and a half has been a difficult one for our family. Leaving a church we'd been at for seven years was tough for everyone. Then going to another church and dealing with the "we-won't-be-here-long-don't-get-attached-again" sort of thing, wasn't easier either. (On a side note, that is the church Dad is now pastor of. Praise God!!) I think all of this was probably the hardest on my little brother. 

Tucker has said many times that he loves getting mail (who doesn't?!) and since his 13th birthday is next Friday, March 18th, I think it would be amazing if a flood of cards and birthday wishes came in. :-) 

Last summer he roped me into playing photographer while he dressed up like Indiana Jones. ;) 

If you wouldn't mind to take a second and send him a card or a quick note, he would love it and I would appreciate it. :) 

He would kill me if he caught wind of this, so don't mention it (I'd like to stay alive). But if you/your family would like to, send me an email (blogger contact form is at the bottom right of this page if you don't have my email!) and I'll send you our mailing address. :) 

Thanks so much guys!! :D

Big Sister Bragging Rights...

If any of y'all have younger siblings then you've probably told friends about things they like, have accomplished, etc. You have the older siblings bragging right! :) *laughs* 

Last Thursday my dad and little brother left for deer camp. Tucker (my brother) has previously killed a turkey, two wild hogs, and three deer. He is a big time deer hunter so, needless to say, deer season is his favorite time of year. 

Saturday night, about 6:15, he shot his first 8-point! He was hunting in a stand by himself for the first time since he passed the hunter-safety course last winter. 

Here's the pictures! 

Dad was in another deer stand and texted mom when he heard Tucker shoot. A friend they were hinting with got to him first and then let dad know. :) 

They had to drag it out of the woods and haul it to the processors before heading home (a four drive). They got home late, but we still made it to church for Sunday School the next morning! ;) 

Thanks for reading and have a great day, everyone! ;D

P.S. I'm working on the What I Saw and Being Little Sister-5. Those will be posted soon, promise! :)
