Michael went steel-head fishing with the Utley boys.
He says he had a lot of fun, but when it came down to it, I think he was too cold to think about anything else. The boys say the funniest thing that happened on the trip was the amount of time it took Mike to get ready, and they all thought he's such a pre-madona he had to blow dry his hair. But Mike says what actually happened was the shower head in the hotel went bezerk! He says it sprayed his long johns and got them so wet.... and he wasn't about to spend the day in the freezing cold in wet underwear. Mike only caught the fish you have to throw back, but they ended up bringing home a lot... and we still have one in our freezer.
We had our first Thanksgiving at the Coats Casa. It all worked out really well. The Utleys and Grandpa Hickman came up to help me cook, shop, and everything else that comes with the holidays.
Everyone even helped us put the Christmas lights on our house, and I have to say they did a wonderful job.
Merry Christmas Everyone!
Love,
Michael and Carissa
