Waconda Lake

Matt and I went on a trip to see his dad and spend a little bit of time outside this weekend. We went to his cabin at Waconda Lake. The plan was to get to shoot and fish a little bit. I have never caught a fish in my life, so it was Matt's goal for me to catch a fish. Friday night had packed up the car will a ton of guns and fishing polls, however non of them got used. Of course the weekend we want to play outside it is 50 degrees with 40 mph north winds, a little to cold to be fishing. However we did go and set catfish lines, well Matt and his dad did, I had to go check them the next day,  but still no fish. :(

Matt and I found lots of other fun things to do this weekend. We took a drive around the lake and let Duke go chase birds. At one point Matt slowed down the truck to look at a few deer and the next thing we knew Duke was running beside the truck, he jumped out!

I also got to go see the World's Largest Ball of Twine. 

On Sunday after catching no fish we drive home and on the way home we stopped by Coronado Heights. It was very pretty and cool to see this little castle on top of a hill.

Matt and I at the top!

All in all it was a great weekend! We made the most of it and I am looking forward to going back and having many more great weekends like it!

I need to get better at this!

Ok ok it has been since umm....November since I have written but I am back and hopefully I will stick with it this go around. Since my last blog I have gotten a new and better job, a wonderful boyfriend and have been actively been trying to figure a way to afford my own apartment!

Lets start with the job! I am currently working for Nolan Real Estate at Parkview Townhomes in Wichita. This job is a good change for me, it is actually full time and I can save money! I am much happier here then at the bar however I am still looking for something better. The good thing is I really like my boss and being able to help people find a home.

The boyfriend is a man named Matt, we have been dating since about last time I posted and we have our ups and downs but I see something special between us and think it is worth a shot. I know this is crazy talk because before I met him I was very anti-relationship, but something had to change that and he was what I needed. The picture is from us on New Years. It is one of the better ones we have since he is 6'10, and a goof, those together make it difficult to get a good picture.

Other than that I am doing a lot of weekend traveling the next 3 weeks and am really looking forward to going to the lake. Matt is going to try and help me catch a fish this weekend up at Glen Elder! It could be entertaining.
