The Ride home

I woke up kinda late like 8 am so i could get the car packed and ready for the ride back up here. I did not want to leave home it was hard for me to. I said my good byes to my family and headed to the gas station and get gas and breakfast. I sat there waited for my  friend to get there because she is riding up with me. When she got there it was abut 10 Am so we started off to highway 75 to head north. it was smooth sailing till we got crossed the bridge then everyone was driving slow on the roads so the car were all pilling up with traffic.  So that started to slow down my driving which was adding more time on to my trip. I was trying to get back at a descent time so i could get my homework done and be able to relax. I went to pass this car and my car had like no power to it and i was having trouble getting around the car and there was a car coming towards me and almost hit it but i got around the car. That  was the only scare i had coming back up here. I ended up getting back here around 5 ish so i made good time. I still had a lot of homework to do so i unpacked and started to work on that.

Thanksgiving

I love this holiday behind Christmas. I get to see all my family and eat some of my grandma herbert cooking. My aunt boyfriend came over and brought his mom and uncle. It was weird having new people at our dinner. I helped my grandma cook some food and help her with everything. I ate so much food and i regret it i had like 3 plates worth of food. I had the worst stomach ache when i laid down after eating. I couldnt eat my grandmas homemade apple pie. My aunts bf uncle wife was getting so annoying i couldnt take her being so annoying she would just keep talking about stupid shit. The one thing that really bothered me was her talking about how she kept asking about y grandpa the one that passed away last year. Im still shooken up with him being gone and she wouldnt leave the subject alone. I was already annoyed and i couldnt keep myself from exploding up on her. I told her to shut the fuck up and pretty much drove home without saying goodbye to everyone.

Best Friend

It was nice to see my best friend seth. He has been my best friend since grade school he came home wed. He went to Trine to play football. We have played sports together ever sense 5th grade so it was hard not being on the same team as him this year. I did keep in touch with him while we were in college. It was weird not having him just a mile down the road to call and hang out. Instead he was 15 hours away and are busy times with sports. Well when he got home we went out to eat with our other friend dillion who went to state. He went on a wrestling scholarship so all three of us went on a sport scholarship. When the lunch was over we all went to the movies and saw the mocking jay. I liked it a lot, it didnt have a boring spot in the movie at all. When the long ass movie was over we all went back to dillions house. We watched this movie and hung out with his parents and talked about how college is doing.  we got really bored so we started to play water pong in the kitchen on the kitchen table. Then play ping pong with our phones ya you can say we were really bored.

My animals

I also got to see my lambs from last year. It was hard being away from my animals for that long being with them everyday and then being away from them was hard. I took them for a walk and also showed the kids how to set up a lamb and how to proper show them. I got to play with the pigs which was fun. I like to play a game with one of the hogs is ride it around and she will walk around like a horse and listen like a horse. I also will get in the pen with the pigglist when there big enough and kick a ball around and let them chase it and push it back at me. My favorite to play with is my goat loddy. She comes and tries to headbutt with her head so ill catch her head with my hand and push her back. When i got done playing with the animals my family and I make grave blankets and Christmas reefs. We started doing this about 3 years ago and with me being gone we were behind on orders. So we started to crank them out and when i left we were only behind like 3 orders.  

The new steers

I got to go down to the barn and see the new show steers for this year. I also was excited because i got to teach little kids proper ways to handle a steer and to break them to walk. I was able to get lead ropes on 3 of the 4 but the fourth one was being a little shit. So i had to run him into a head gate so i could put his halter on. The big problem was he started to flip out and kick the safety bars around him. So we had to give him calf calmer which is a paste you give to the calf to calm it down. I had to talk to it and touch it to calm it down so we would be able to walk it around the barn. WHen i took it out of the head gate it started going crazy again so i have to wrestle it to the ground. I finally got it to the ground and held it there till the kids got to a safe place and let him up and put him back in the pen with the other ones. I needed to show the kids the proper technique so i grabbed my od show heifer from last year she was being sassy expalins were she got her name. I started to walk her around the barn and set her up to show the kids how to set up the animal. I let the kids come up to her and pet her while she stood there and ate grain.

Hunting

I woke up at 530 to get all my gear ready to go out hunting. When it was about 630 i loaded my car and headed to the woods it was about 7 when i got to my blind so a little before day break. I started to walk through the foot of snow in the woods. I got to my blind on the edge of the swamp out in the woods. I sat up my pop up blind and got into the blind and got all my gear around and set up. I sat there and called with my calls and just sat there freezing my ass off. Finally i heard something coming from my right. I looked over and i saw brown so i started to look for horns but i couldnt see its head behind the bush. Finally it walked into my shooting lane but it was a doe. I didnt have a doe permanent so i couldnt shoot her. She continued to walk up closer to my blind finally she is sniffing my blind right up close to it i could have reached out and petted her. When you but your tgs you have to have a small game tag to. So since i wasnt seeing any deer i waited for chipmunks to come in. I would shoot them with my little 22 hand gun i carry when i hunt. I shot like 4 of them and brought them home to eat.

The first day home

I woke up in my room kinda confused why i was in my room. It just felt weird to wake up in my own room. I went down stairs to see my family and my mom had breakfast cooked and already sitting on the table ready to eat. so we sat down and ate breakfast and talked and caught up on things. I helped my mom clean up the table and do dishes. Then we went out to watch to tv as a family we looked outside and it starts pouring snow. I told my parents i wasnt going tp leave the house because of the roads. I really wanted to go hunting tho but i didnt have my tags yet. I ended up going to walmart that night to get my tags. I went home in the snow storm when i got home my mom had made us dinner we had some roast from my show steer left over. I ate dinner and  helped my mom clear the table so we could play cards. Its tradition to play cards after dinner in my house the choice of card games are usually poker or uerche.
