It has been really fun living here and being able to spend so much time with Jon. I've been going back to work a couple days a week to help out at the clinic, but i still spend a large amount of time helping jon with his work and its so fun! Plus I get to see lots of beautiful scenery.
What Jon looks like at his business meetings with Seth, I think he enjoys our situation.
As much fun as it is spending time with Jon at work, sometimes i watch things like this and realize why women live longer than men...
One of the things they did at work this month was pulling embryos from some of our cows. Crazy right! All of our cattle are Black Angus, some of them are very high quality cattle, with excellent genetics, they are considered "donor" cows. so we take embryos out of them and sell the embryos to other ranches and breeders, and they put those embryos into their cows to have high quality calves born. Of course there is way more info and science that goes into all that but I really just know the basics. Seth and Jon could talk to you for hours about it haha
Another part of our month was General Conference! Which was, as always, fantastic.
We watched saturday morning at Haileys moms so we decided to make everyone breakfast
Savvy stayed entertained with her kitten-
October is also deer hunting season!! This was Misty's first year deer hunting in Idaho so Jon took her out on opening day and they both got a deer!! It was Misty's first deer so that was pretty exciting!!
I also got a deer, but by the time we got everything taken care of it was too dark for a picture, but he was just a small 2 point. None of us got huge deer this year but we have food in the freezer so that's awesome!!
And now for a segment called Things-Lauren-thinks-she-sees-while-driving-but-actually-doesnt.
To preface this you need to understand that i'm a total tunnel vision driver. I rarely look at what is going on around me, but sometimes I do, and it's usually last minute as i pass it so sometimes i am deceived.
Episode 1: I was driving into town one day and passed a house that i quickly glanced at and noticed way in their back yard a huge buck! next to the buck was a dog that was just staring it down. I was like holy cow thats so crazy!! that's like a 4 point buck and that persons dog was just staring it down and the buck was frozen! So I wanted to get a picture to show jon so i flipped a U and pulled infront of this persons house, they had a huge backyard and the deer was probably 100 yards away. I went to take a picture and couldnt believe that this stare down was still happening! (people can get in trouble if their dogs chase or kill deer) soo i thought i better try to call this dog off and the deer could get away... lol (its way more funny now that i'm telling it again haha) so i start whistling for the dog and he doesnt flinch. I'm like getting nervous to i decide to go knock on the person's door to have them call their dog off.. (who does that?! hahah) but no one answers. I go back to the side of the house and keep watching when i have the realization... Those might be fake. So i began to walk closer, and of course, they were both fake. hahahah they were both archery targets. One was a buck and the other was a coyote. As i walked back behind this person's house, I noticed the wife was standing in her backyard watering her garden so i had to tell her why i was there so she didnt think some rando was just exploring her yard... hahah anywayyyy apparently i hadnt been the first person to stop so that made me feel better. lol
Episode 2:
I was driving back to work from lunch and saw an elderly couple in their front yard, the man was on the ground and the woman was standing next to him, holding a cane and bending over. I immediately panicked and was like omg that old man fell and his wife is trying to help him up! So i turned down the next road, which was about 30 yards from them, parked the car and jumped out and started running as best as i could. as you can see from that picture above my belly isnt very big, BUT it's WAY bigger than what i'm used to having around my belly AND i had just eaten a huge plate of chicken enchiladas! So just imagine here with me now, this extrememly full, extremely out of shape pregnant lady hobble/running down the side walk to save the day! (not like id be able to life the dude anyway, he was probably like 6ft, 200lbs. But i ran to help anyway, and as i got closer i realized she wasn't holding a cane she was holding a pole that turns on underground sprinkler systems, and he was on the ground looking at the part. so.......lol i just hollered "you guys okay?" and she said "yes we are just measuring something" and i awkwardly responded "oh okay.. i thought he fell.." and very awkwardly and slowly, while holding my belly, hobbled back to my car. UGH
OKay so what's funny about these stories is i usually NEVER feel awkward, uncomfortable, or embarrassed. but i swear, ever since i've been pregnant i'm so awkward! or at least I feel awkward, and i get uncomfortable SO easily, its actually really funny because I always embarrass Jon but he can never embarrass me, but lately i'm always like Jon!! you're embarrassing me!! And now he says well now you know how i feel!! haha ah... good times.
Anyways, I'm done, so here's quote from Jon-
"I wish it was spiritually okay to throw things at bicyclists.... because i don't care about the legality of it."
"It takes a while for people to get to know me... i'm like an egg."
