We're building a house/lodge!

After a lot of soul searching and calculating and praying and talking and... well you get the point -- we decided to build a home in Kansas for us to live in during the winter months and to house bird and deer hunters.

We are expected to be able to move in this fall! We will still graze cattle and spend the summers in Texas. We so love our ranching lifestyle in Texas, but for a lot of reasons we want to keep offering hunts in Kansas and have our own place to do so. We also look forward to Calvin going to school in Lakin, the same school system from which Jeremy graduated. He will get to spend more time with friends and cousins while we're up there as well.

It's not always easy moving back and forth, but we hope this will make it a little simpler and still allow us to live our gypsy lifestyle. We will continue to offer prairie dog and antelope hunts in Texas, and deer and (assuming it rains again someday) bird hunts in Kansas.

We want to thank all of our hunting clients for allowing us to make this possible! We so appreciate the fact that guiding hunts has allowed us to meet so many interesting people from all around the country. It truly has enriched our lives in so many ways.

Here's the progress as of this morning. Walls are finally going up!
