Hey everyone!

Sorry I haven't shared much on here lately. I guess I haven't felt there was much to share. It's tax season now, so Casey spends the majority of his time at work. He works really hard and I'm proud of him. I have been spending my free time after I get out of work at the gym and doing a scrapbooking project. Not much exciting to share with the family there. Haha. We've also been going to Mason basketball games, but there haven't been very many lately- although they did kick the butt of the number one team in our division the other night and it was AWESOME. And last weekend we went to a Professional Bull Riding event. It was pretty cool to see it live, although it didn't last nearly as long as we would have thought or liked. I guess the one cool, exciting (at least to me) thing I have to share is an experience I had yesterday. It's something I have been wanting to do for YEARS and thanks to my new job, I finally got to do it.


This is my target from my first time shooting a handgun. I've been wanting to learn for a long, long time and finally I got the opportunity to take a "field trip" to the PD training center with a few of the guys I work with. It made me even more excited to get knowledgeable and learn as much as I can about the components of a handgun, the safety, and how to shoot one- and shoot it well. I guess I didn't do too bad for my first try. They expressed again how much they want me to put in my application to be an officer. Haha. Anyways, this was just really exciting for me so I thought I'd share. I miss everyone lots and hope you are all doing wonderfully! Love love, Christie
