Goings-on Lately

Ok Guys, I've been a little behind. Been running around, and have finally sat down for some bloggin. So, here's a quick update for all you who have been wondering and waiting ( I hope that is all of you......)

Well, first of all, and the furthest back, I officially joined the world of deer hunters last month.
My daily carry. A rifle, and a pack with lunch, knives, gps and other usefull items. 

My faithful hunting buddy - Josiah - who trucked up and down hills with me for a full week

And the actual fruit of the hunt. 7 days of hunting and one shot at 20 yards later, I bagged my first deer. 
So, that was very exciting. I hunted for a full week, and put in almost 40 miles of hiking - and that's not counting how much was uphill.

Nov. 1st will go down in my history as a good day. A very good day. God provided, and made me wait and trust for a whole week that he would.

Next, I got promoted in my Civil War reenacting group, and recently went through an entire three-day weekend as the ordinance sergeant. That was hectic, challenging, and was a good experience for me, since I was constantly having to do something, thinking outside the box, and was responsible for a lot of equipment. Thank God I think things went well, and hopefully is now set up (thanks to the help of wonderful NCO's under me)  better than before. I hope. We'll see how that goes.........

And lastly, besides running around with this and that other small things, I officially saw The Avengers.
    

I borrowed it from a friend, and finally saw what I had heard was a masterpiece of a film. Let me tell you, I was not disappointed. A full review is coming soon, but for now, I will say it was awesome. Way awesome. Not a perfect movie by a long shot, but one of the best movies I have seen this year, and officially made it to my favorites list. 


Well, that's about it for now. I'm off to work on a full blown review for Avengers!

  3. Neat that you got promoted, Sarge! ;) It's kind of funny, but my sister and I have just recently gotten into reenacting in the last month--we went to one and got hooked! :D
