A fishing we will go

For a long time Bryson has been itching to try out the fishing scene around Mound City. Finally, on Friday we went fishing.




Bryson caught 2 fish for the day and kept one to filet.

I caught one but it wasn't worth keeping.


Buster didn't seem to fond of the fish.

We then ended the evening of a good fishing day watching the Jayhawk Linn football game.

Now Bryson is super hooked on fishing. Please pray for my sanity. ; )

Bunger Update

So what have the Bunger's been up to?

1. 5th and 6th Grade lockin: We had 21 kids show up when we planned for 8. Truly a blessing. One kid threw up, one lost a tooth, and we had to run the kids from the youth building to the basement of the church through pouring rain because of a tornado watch.




2. Bryson became the JV Jayhawk football announcer! I ran the clock, but needless to say, I probably will not be asked to do that again.

3. We taught the Youth Group Human Foosball, which was AMAZING/HILARIOUS to watch and play.

4. Taught Buster some new tricks. He is a super smart dog. Except when I pretend to throw his red ball. Silly dog is determined to find it.

5. I receieved my substitute teaching license in the mail! From which I leaped for joy and skipped all the way from the mailbox to the house upon arrival.

6. Bryson received his Matt Holiday bobblehead in the mail and he also leaped for joy and skipped all the way from the mailbox to the house upon arrival.

7. Buster did not recieve anything in the mail. But he did attack a frog and leap around with it. So I suppose that counts.

8. My best friend Cassie, and her husbad, Joel, moved to Belfast, Northern Ireland last Sunday! You can read all about their amazing adventures @ Northern Irish Binkleys

9. I am trying to cook new things like Lemon Squares (Epic win) and my grandmas fried chicken (Epic Fail).

10. I really feel like there needs to be a number 10 to even it out but I can't think of anything relevant so me writing this will make myself feel better. Gotta keep it even.

In Sickness...

and health.

Bryson and I just experienced what it is like to share sickly/married germs. I do not like being sick but I am glad I have someone to be sick and miserable with. I am not sure Bryson feels the same way but I have a feeling this is one thing he does NOT like about marriage. Poor guy never got sick until he met me. And this time this infection took a larger toll on him than it did me. Which is rare.

Being sick as an adult seems to be almost the same to me as to when I (and Bryson) was a child. However, if you lay around all day sick as an adult you feel as though you haven't done anything productive except catch up on your DVR list of The Office and House or win the World Series on the playstation (Actually, come to think of it that seems to be very productive to me.). But as a child you didn't care about anything, not even the piles of homework you had waiting for you at school. Being sick was a vacation. As and Adult, being sick is a major road block in the busyness of work/family/bills/and friends. And when you are feeling better, it takes forever to get back on track and even remember what you were doing before being sick. Nonetheless, it is amazing the types of things your mother did for you when you were sick are the same things you want when you're sick as an adult. For instance, having sprite on hand, eating applesauce, gargling salt water, sticking vicks vapor rub up your nose and the most popular eating all the chicken noodle soup you could eat.
