*Hunting*

Josh has been out hunting for the perfect deer the past few days. Kaitlin has went with him in the past and was a little bummed when he was going out without her with friends to hunt. Yesterday Josh went out with a friend in the morning and then came home at lunchtime. He waited to go back out after Kaitlin got out of school. Luck was on their side. Josh shot a 5x5 and Kaitlin thought it was the best thing ever! In her eyes as an eleven-year-old, she thought it was the "perfect" deer. :) Josh's mom and her friend came over last night and helped Josh and Kaitlin cut up deer meat. It went late into the night before they were finished. It was nice to see Kaitlin that excited!

We got some good news this past week as well. Josh has accepted a position with the State of Nebraska Dept. of Roads. He will begin his new job next Monday, November 23rd. The hours are great (until it snows) and we are looking forward to the employment. Unfortunately the railroad still has hundreds or people laid off so Josh was fortunate to receive this job with such few job opportunities out there.

That's neat that Kait got a deer and was so happy! So glad for you guys that Josh got a job. The waiting is so stressful and not knowing what to do.
