Well, John's been obsessed with lots of things in the past, for a while it was sharpening knives and he's actually gotten really good at it (I used to catch him watching you-tube vidoes on how to do it). But his latest obsession is his new traditional bow he got for Christmas. He LOVES shooting it. He used to shoot it in our front yard into a pumpkin from Halloween but then it got too mushy...this brought about a very creative side of my husband that i haven't seen very often...
John decided to make a new target, he got boxes from Macey's that they didn't need anymore and brought them home to make his very own deer target. So now he can shoot his bow whenever, wherever but his favoite thing to do is take it in the back yard, (below-where those beautiful trees are is the Logan river) find ducks and try to shoot them. It's probably a good thing that he hasn't yet actually hit any (although he's been pretty close) but i told him that next time he wants to go, i'll go with him and take some bread to feed the ducks and lure them in (why don't guys think of this???). LOL, he says that if i can feed these ducks that he's been trying to sneak up on and shoot he'll break his bow and never hunt again hahaha, i know he really wouldn't do that and i don't want him to but i do think he'd be pretty funny if these ducks that he's been chasing are actually the tame ones that everybody feeds on the golf course and the logan river parkway, we'll see and i'll let you know!
Hopefully John's next obsession will be getting his truck fixed! I can't wait to have that thing working again, it'll be so fun to be able to go in the mountains again! We miss that. Thanks so much to Jason and Papa V for draggin it all the way up here for us so John can work his magic! Love you guys!
I Love John's truck. Its the truck we dated in, its the truck that John has always loved so much, there are so many memories in that truck, i hope it'll be around for a long time. It really is fun for me to just see it because its the truck i always watched (and listened) for that meant John was here! So even though our car doesn't yet fit in the garage again i don't mind too much, i'm glad his truck is finally here and someday it will run again :)

Fun stuff!
It IS a great truck. Hope it's in the family a long time.
Like Nephi, you will now have your own "bow incident". The deer target was very good. Now we need an "after" picture.
ha ha john's funny. that's awesome that his truck is up there with you guys now! i have a lot of memories in that truck as well. like remember the time we skipped class and tried to take the truck up that huge steep hill on the south part of town? then the slabs of rock in the back rammed into the tailgait, pushing it open and the slabs and john's guitar fell out? ha ha. high school was soooo much fun!
You just let me know when more fished are speared with that bow! :) I love that you guys have a truck that is sentimental to you. I think that's sweet.
