I have the best husband in the world

Well, it’s that time of year again when 90% of what goes through Russ’ mind is the Muzzleloader Buck Hunt. Usually I’ve been of some help in getting him ready for his big hunting adventure, but this year was a little bit different. Let’s just say my plate was extremely full with being a fulltime Mom, a BLM employee, and a Mormon! I pretty much did nothing to help him prepare for his hunt. Sorry babe –maybe I’ll be of more help next year! I can’t say Russ was completely abandoned while he prepared for the hunt; he did get some good help from his two “little men” while he was packing his pack.




The day before opening day came quickly, and aside from my exhaustion I wished Russ the best of luck and sent him on his way. After dropping Tyler off at daycare, I hit the ground running trying to complete several projects at work. Later that morning I received a phone call at my work desk. I was asked to pick up a package in the front lobby of the BLM. I was curious to know what the package was since I hadn’t ordered anything. Once I arrived in the lobby, there sat the most beautiful bouquet of red roses and a perfectly wrapped gift with my name on it. I couldn’t believe my eyes…nobody ever sends me flowers (with the exception of when I completed my classes from USU…thanks Mom and Dad). I quickly opened the card on the bouquet to see who they were from. Tears immediately fell from my eyes when I read the card and realized it was signed by Russ. I can’t even begin to explain the feeling I had as I walked back to my desk holding the beautiful bouquet of flowers and a darling “Willow Creek” figurine…let’s just say I was grinning from ear to ear! Thank you Russ for all you do for me – I appreciate every little and BIG thing you do for me. I love you great “Big & Tall”.
