Every day you can get out of bed is a great day!! With that being said, there are certain days and seasons that getting out of bed is a lot easier. You know what I am talking about: Christmas, birthdays, hunting seasons, the first bacon and tomato sandwich, going to Disney, college football, etc. The big and small things that makes you life a little more enjoyable.
Luckily for me a majority of my favorite things all fall on the same weekend. Yes, the first weekend of September is my birthday, opening day dove season and opening weekend of college football. I was also lucky enough to have my parents come into town (will post on their trip next).
1st bacon and tomato of the year :)
Birthday:
My birthday was on a Friday this year and that is usually our busiest day at the office. It was a great birthday this year and everyone at the office was great! They brought donuts, snacks, cake, punch and a bunch of other favorites!! Couldn't have asked for a better day!
Dove Season:
Dove season has always seemed very ironic to me. A couple dozen guys get together at the early hours of the morning and fellowship in preparation to shoot the international bird of peace. This year a good friend of mine invited me to a big dove hunt so me and my brother-in-law went. We had a blast!
An absolutely beautiful morning! The sun raising in the distance.
Where did Heath go?? Not too bad for a couple hours of hunting.
Heath did very well and got his limit. I shot quite a few but after 50 shots the birds would laugh as they flew by and I filled the sky with lead. After a couple boxes of shells your arm gets very sore as well.
College Football:
Unfortunately, being a Big 10 fan in SEC country does not always mean getting to watch your favorite team play. This year the Hawks hosted Tennessee Tech for the season opener and the Hawks won 34-7. Not a bad start. Can't wait for the road trip to Iowa City!!
