Happy New Year!

This holiday season has been so much fun! We spent New Years out in Jacksboro at Travis Black's ranch. It was so much fun but I was definitely out of my element. It is not every day that you see me shooting guns, wearing camo, trapping and killing hogs, and driving through the mud in the freezing cold. 

Travis took us for a drive when we got there and it was so cold and snowing! The rest of the night was spent playing Blokus, Catch Phrase, and Jackson 5. The next morning we got up and all had breakfast and soon after the guns were brought out to play. I managed to get enough courage to shoot once but it didnt take long for me and some of the other girls to go back inside to get warm and watch The Biggest Loser marathon that was on tv. :) 

I forgot to say that the night before (New Years Eve) while we were preparing dinner we noticed a hog outside the house. Everyone ran outside to see if they could shoot it but I stayed inside. After all, pigs are my favorite animal and Brian was worried I would be scarred for life if I saw it being shot! Here is the picture of the dead hog. YUK!

We truly enjoyed being out in the country and spending some quality time with some of our favorite people. Brian and I are looking excited to 2010...our first full year of marriage!
