Elk Hunting

This year my Dad drew out for the Wasatch- any bull elk tag. He was super excited and was all giddy like a little girl. We went with my Dad's hunting buddies and his brothers. He ended up shooting his bull at 10:00 on the first morning. We got up at 5:30 and the 6 of us split up to our various posts but we didn't see anything big. We had seen the bull that my Dad ended up shooting a couple times and we saw it in a canyon the night before the hunt opened and because the weather was so warm we decided that he probably hadn't moved so before we called it a morning Kam Kohler and I walked down the mountain through the pines to try and kick it out. Of course we were so awesome that we kicked it out right in front of my Dad and he nailed it. The elk ended up scoring 360 and my Dad is super happy with it and that is the most important thing. I had a blast and was glad I was able to spend this time with my Dad before I leave.

Bear Lake

Well its been a long time since I have updated this and Lynsee told me I should while I am down with getting my wisdom teeth out.

All the way back in August we, Lynsee, Jena, Denise, and Jordan, took a girls trip to Bear Lake. It was a total blast! We went left on a Thursday and spent the night at Lava Hot Springs in Idaho. Friday we got up and went to Bear Lake and spent the evening on the beach. Saturday we played card games in the morning and spent most of the day on the beach again and got fried. That evening we went to a place called Pickleville Playhouse. They do parody plays there and it was hilarious! Sunday we played cards again in the morning and then headed home. It was a total blast!

Houston here I come

Well tonight I got my mission call and I have been called to serve in the Texas Houston South mission. I will be speaking spanish and I leave December 8. I am nervous and excited at the same time. Guess we will see what happens next!

Great friends- love you all

This is what I look like after waiting for my family for 45 min longer than I wanted

Most of my cousins. All but 2 in this picture are on the Berg side.

Now we play the waiting game

Well my mission papers are in as of Sunday night. My bishop said that if the the trend holds I should get my call next Wednesday as in the 25th. I will know on Friday if this holds true. Let the guessing game begin.

J. Ruben Clark Law Society luncheon

On Monday I flew home from Maryland, but before my flight I was able to attend a luncheon of the J. Ruben Clark Law Society, D.C. chapter with my aunt. She is the chair so it was really cool to meet all the attorneys. The luncheon was in the Senate Caucus room of the Russell Building on Capitol Hill. This room was awesome and had a lot of history in it. There have been a number of important hearings in this room, hearings on topics such as; the sinking of the Titanic, the Watergate break-in, and the Supreme Court Nomination of Clarence Thomas. Senator Bennett came and spoke about his life before he became a senator. It was a very cool experience and I kinda really liked walking around D.C. and being on Capitol Hill.

I know its a bit cheesy and he is lost in the primary but he is still Senator Bob Bennett and is still kind of a political big-wig, at least for a couple months.

The office of Senator Jim DeMint, pretty legit.

The office of Senate Minority leader Senator Mitch McConnell.
