This weekend Erich and I celebrated our fifth wedding anniversary. It was lots of fun. It is pretty unusual that Erich isn't either on fires or out hunting on our anniversary so we enjoyed just the fact we were together for our anniversary! Since Erich doesn't like "mushy" stuff (as he puts it), I'll spare him the embarassment of posting lots of wedding pictures or a tribute to why I love him so much. Suffice it to say Erich is a fabulous husband and it was fun to celebrate five years, as each year of marriage just gets better and better.

(Since it was our 5th wedding anniversary I cooked a five course BBQ rib meal and gave him five presents...one to follow each of his courses. I think I enjoy doing the romantic stuff more than Erich enjoy receiving it, but it was a fun evening nonetheless. Most of Erich's gifts revovled around bird hunting as that is his new craze these days) 
MONDAY
Monday was the highlight for Erich. We went up to Lewiston with the Petersens to shop and eat out and then Erich, Bryan, Logan and I headed out to go Dove Hunting. It was pretty poor hunting at first...only two doves for two hours of hiking, but then we drove around and found the honey spot where we got into hundreds of birds. I think we ended up going home with 11 birds all together only one of which was possibly mine and most of which were Erich and Bryan's. It was one of the more enjoyable hunting days. For awhile there the birds kept coming in and coming in (and I kept missing them and missing them again).
The scenery was beautiful out there on the rolling fields. I tried to take a pictures but it doesn't really capture it--it was a little late and the sunset all but over. The guys were proud of their kill though--Doves are very quick birds and challenging to shoot.
WEWH...that was one thorough recap of our weekend. To sum it up...good times--we'll see if we can slip in a few more outings before baby Gleckler decides to arrive.

Wow, that was a big post. But a great one at that. Happy Anniversary. Glad you guys got to spend it together. You are such a cute wife to Erich to make a 5 course meal with 5 presents too. By the way the house looks great. Love your dining room table. Jeff is getting ready for hunting. Well not archery, but rifle. We are heading home in Oct, because Jeff, his brother, and I drew out on the bull hunt. I may only hunt a day, and spend the rest with family and friends. My little sister has her senior night volleyball game on opening day. I told Jeff he HAS to come to it, he says "we'll see". He misses the Moscow hunting too. In fact he keeps saying that instead of going home for Christmas, we should head over to Grangeville in Nov and go whitetail hunting with the Glecklers. I take it that he is joking, but I think he really wants too. Good luck with Baby Gleckler, coming up fast!
It looks like every minute of your 3 day weekend was packed with fun! Ben and I had been trying to figure out if it was 4 or 5 years for you guys and we decided on 5 since you went to Europe to get him from his mission. Congrats on 5 fun-filled years! Glad to hear that the bird hunting is going well. For some reason I've never had the desire to shoot one of those little doves, but I imagine they are a lot like quail. I'm coming home in a few weeks and am so excited about going hunting. We've been trying to get Ace home to hunt, but we're just not sure it's worth the $400 plane ticket for him too. Glad you had a great Ann. and you'll have to keep us up to date on the baby development since it's getting close!
Wow!! That was a full weekend! Congrats on 5 years!!! We are big BYU fans here too, so that was nice since we were pretty much stuck inside because of hurricane Gustav. Looking at all those pictures makes me miss the mountains. It's beautiful here, but it's totally different. No mountains to hike. I bet you are getting anxious for the little guy to get here too!! It will be fun to see how he fits into things!
Hi Kara!! Happy 5th and Congrats! I've decided this isn't a bad way to keep in touch, since I'm so great at email and phone calls. I love reading your posts cause you and I are so much alike! I love that you appreciate all the fun things in life like Ang and I do!! I'm excited for you to have your little one... can't be too long now? Keep me posted! Love ya girl.
So pretty. What a great weekend. I got your message and THANKS! I know it is far past my turn to go visit you, but when will it be??? do you have a boy name set?
Congratulations on the big five!!! It sounds like you have an awesome anniversary and I'm TOTALLY impressed by your planning and preparation...you're inspiring me!
