  • Am I doing this right?? šŸ™„šŸ˜‚ 2nd night out by myself 😬

Hey. At least my neighbor finally stopped their target practice 15 minutes before sunset. It really distracted me from my reading...i mean....from watching for my buck

38*  Feels like 32. What’s gotten into me?? #deerstand #deerseason #deerseason2019  #girlshunttoo #girlshunting #huntinggirls #huntinggirl #reading #rifleseason #missouribowseason #deer #deerhunting #deerhunter #deerhuntingseason #hunting #outdoors #buck #missouri #missourioutdoors #gowild #newhunter

  • If only we had a real camera... Whitaker Point in Arkansas is a must! It took us about 3.5 hours from Mid-Mo. I would’ve happily driven much longer! See my previous posts about or early morning trail run to get here šŸ˜‚

I have an iPhone 6....it still works šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø Jayson has a 10 and he got some really good photos of our Arkansas trip. But I think it’s time for us to get away from iPhone shots for our trips. What kind of camera do you use or suggest? We don’t need anything fancy. Maybe a step or two above a basic point and shoot but not one with entirely too many buttons and options!

  • Just rehydrating after a trail run at 6:30am Sunday morning.

Jayson and I got up at 5:30, left our camper, threw on our headlamps, hit the trail at 6:40, and raced the sun to Whitaker Point. The sun beat us, but barely!

Totally worth the spill I took running in the dark! My left shoulder and right knee are feeling it today though šŸ¤¦šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø Have you ever been on the Hawksbill Crag trail in Kingston, AR? The ā€œcragā€ is the rock formation I’m sitting next to in the pic. Hard to see, but check out my previous post to see the whole view! This is just past the incredible site that is ā€œWhitaker Point.ā€ It is a MUST SEE for sure!

Totally worth the 40* morning, slip up on the trail, lack of sleep the night before and 5:30am alarm!

Thankful for my @idealfit Seamless Long Sleeve that kept my cool and dry under many layers! My shaker cup is getting some Peach Lemonade BCAAs added in šŸ˜‹  Peach Lemonade BCAAs is only $16.34 and the Long Sleeve Seamless is only $11.55 when you use code DIANE15

  • Pictures don’t even do this place any justice

Hanging out after a mad trail dash to beat the sun. Whitaker Point/Hawksbill Crag is a MUST SEE! My KC and MidMo friends, it is worth the drive! The sunrise here is beyond incredible.

  • A Dove Grey  wedding dress. Thoughts?

Ally had another appointment in Columbia today. On our way out, I randomly picked a bridal store off of google, and checked if they had offered walk ins. Thankfully, @bridalbyvows said yes!

They had a great selection to choose from and this one caught my eye. Like many others, this looks completely different on a person than when in the rack!

Still so in love with the @allurebridals 9620 I tried on first months ago. But, this @kennethwinston Ella Rosa collection, BE505, is probably my 2nd favorite now!

I’m typically a 6 or 8 in bridal, and this was a 16. She clipped it up perfectly and made it so easy to imagine what it’d look like altered. Thank you so much for fitting me in last minute today!

Would you consider a non-white dress?

  • I have been obsessed with grilled jalapeƱos!

I was craving them today, but didn’t have enough to with just the jalapenos to fire up the small grill. So I added a burger. Guess that wasn’t really that much more.

Jalapenos Macros:
191 calories
12p  14c  9f

Burger Macros:
312 calories
35p  3c  17f

Sauce Macros:
17 calories
0p  2c  1f

Total: 520cal  47p  19c  27f

Heat up the grill with coals on one side.

While the coals are heating up, prepare the jalapeƱos and burger.

Burger is simple. Just add 6oz raw 90/10 ground beef.
½ t. of the following: seasoning salt, onion powder, chili powder, pepper, and garlic powder
Mix and mold into a patty, set aside

For the JalapeƱos, slice them long ways. 
Chop up about 2 slices of bacon and cook in a pan. 
While the bacon is cooking, in a bowl, mix together:
2oz Fat Free Cream Cheese
7g Shredded Colby Jack
½ t. Onion Powder & Garlic Powder

Once the chopped bacon is cooked, pat dry as much of the oil as you can. I normally love grease, but too much grease in these just doesn’t taste that yummy to me.  Add it to the mixture in the bowl. Spoon enough of the mixture into each of the jalapeƱos.

I personally like to place my food directly over the coals for a minute or two. Scoot the Jalapenos to the side without the coals, and flip the burger. After another minute or so, scoot the burger over to the other side, and cover the grill. Time will vary depending on how hot your grill is/gets. I’m THE WORST griller, so I’m never consistent. My burger was pretty thick, and took about 8 minutes. I left the jalapeƱos on for about 14.

My sauce is simple. Ketchup, Lite Miracle Whip, & pickle juice!

Hit the spot!

  • Just hanging around... Who has seen ā€œto All The Boys I Loved Beforeā€ (@toalltheboysnetflix) currently streaming on @netflix?

Ugh. I just adore this movie! I read the first book on my flights to and from Tahoe. Thanks, @jennyhan, for this fun love story! I just started this one, ā€œAlways and Forever, Laura Jean.ā€ Normally, I prefer to read the book before watching the movie, but with these books, I saw the movie first. Totally ok with that because I love the Peter (@ncentineo) & Laura Jean (@lanacondor) they have us!

Jayson’s working on his book, ā€œLost On The Appalachian Trailā€ by #kylerohrig (@nomadic_nuance). We have very different preferences as far as movies or tv shows....or anything in life, really šŸ˜‚

What do you do to keep yourself from getting bored while out in your stand?

Oh, and ya, no.....we didn’t see anything while in the stand.... #jennyhan #laurajean #larajeancovey #peterkavinsky #toalltheboysivelovedbefore #alwaysandforeverlarajean #deerstand #deerseason #deerseason2019 #lostontheappalachiantrail #bowseason #bowseason2019 #archery #archerygirl #girlshunttoo #girlshunting #huntinggirls #huntinggirl #reading #missouribowseason #missouribowhunting #deer #deerhunting #deerhunter #deerhuntingseason #hunting #outdoors #missouri #missourioutdoors

A couple weekends ago, Jayson’s dad invited us out to stay the night in a cabin south of town. We had the best time sitting around the fire, reminiscing. I love hearing Jayson and his Dad tell stories about the past! I still don’t understand how he could make the @gowildapp team gourmet style meals on the banks of the river, and yet, her burned the snot out of my campfire hot dogs šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļøšŸ¤¦šŸ»ā€ā™€ļøšŸ˜‚ā£

@echobluffstatepark has been on my list of possible wedding sites, and I finally got to check it out! It definitely did not disappoint!⁣
