Bret turns 46

Bret and his buddies.  None of these dogs are alive any more, sad, but they were a lot of fun to have around, and were great hunting dogs!  We have Belle, Jazz then Ranger, our German Short hair.  I miss him the most. 

 

Bret had his birthday last weekend.  It wasn’t much of an event for the family, he didn’t want a cake or presents, and he was gone all day in Des Moines for the Iowa Big Buck Classic. He went with a good friend and met his Brother there as well.  He said he also had a wonderful conversation about the gospel on the way home with his friend.  This family is very dear to us.  I gave his wife a Book of Mormon a year ago for a birthday present, which she took very thankfully, but I really don’t think she’s even picked it up since.  I can’t say that for sure.  I haven’t brought up the subject of the Book since then, but as she asks questions about how Amber is doing I’ve snuck in a few things about the church.  I guess I’m waiting for her to say something about the Book.  After Bret talked with her husband in the car last weekend he really thinks he might start reading it.  He seems to have a lot of questions about religion and he’s not getting the answers from what he was taught from his church.  So we’ll see.  They are in our prayers. 

Bret loves to hunt.  He has taught me a lot about it and has even included me in quite a few hunting trips.  Which I have enjoyed, some more than others, but I’ve always enjoyed being with Bret, just the two of us outside enjoying nature. 

He’s also been the best Husband and Father I could ask for. 

Although a bit silly sometimes,

I’m so glad I said yes!!

Happy Birthday Bret!
