So, over the weekend I spend some time in a tree stand and when I am in a tree stand I have to sit still and be quiet and when I do that I have lots of time to think.
Sometimes I like to try to connect things and this is my latest one.
Dating can be connected to two of my favorite past times-fishing and hunting.
Fishing in the sense that people can go out and "catch" someone. They also can throw someone back if they aren't "good" enough in hopes that the next one will be better. It can be serious but it's usually pretty easy going.
Now hunting is more intense. You have to know what you want before hand and you have to wait patiently. It's more of a commitment to go hunting than fishing. You can always get another tag, but you hope that you only need one. In hunting what you do really counts and sometimes you only get one shot. Yes you can settle for less and get something smaller, but if you wait, someday that "big buck" will come and you can get him. : )
and this is how my silly mind works when I have spent too much time in a tree stand. : )

2009 Highlights
My mother always asks us to write down our “favorite” thing of the year and our goal for the next year. My mom only wanted one thing but I have more than one highlight from 2009.
Highlights
Passed my freshman year of college!!!!
First summer job-worked for Chautauqua Wildlife Refuge, there are a lot of highlights I could add from that : ) which include banding geese, looking for eagle nests, a week long workshop in Minneapolis, Mn, and learning a lot.
Asian Carp bow fishing by the Illinois River
Canada in August with my family (including Ashley)
Having my Grandma and Grandpa in the same location for a few hours to celebrate my Uncles 50th birthday, (my grandparents have been divorced for 35ish years)
Living in a four person room with three good friends : )
Adding a Chemistry major to my Environmental Biology major
Being able to work in the science department as a teacher’s assistant and take care of the animals
Goals for 2010
Pass another semester of Organic Chemistry (and pass calculus)
Be healthier (less sugary drinks, eating better and working out)
Spring Break in Lincoln Nebraska with my Grandma Ona
Having a thought journal and write down more of what I think about
