wow i think everyone has already said it all!! chris, ur summary of the weekend pretty much sums it up.. it was an amazing trip!  i was so glad to be a part of it and get hang out with, and meet, some of matts favorite hunting buddies (yes i do exist!).. my fav new couple is chance & crystal who had us laughing the whole time!.. haha.. but more importantly it was such an honor to meet the wounded veterans & hear some of their stories.. its incredible what a positive outlook they still have on life... makes u think differently about ur own and be grateful for whatcha got! they were thanking everyone for the good time but how can we ever thank them enough for their service and the good they have done for us and our country?.. hope i can be involved in the next wounded warrior project and im interested in seeing what can be done to continue that program in houston?.. thanks everyone for sharing their pics, i love 'em! (u could probably tell, but i never go anywhere without my camera!) one of my fav pics up there is larry with the doggy, love it!!.. well thanks again everyone and to chris, the hostess with the mostess!!!

Wanted to share a quote from one of my favorite books which has opened my eyes to alot of things- called Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver.  It made me think of Matt and all of you hunters out there.. that the life & death part of hunting never goes without thought and gratitude..

"When you kill a beast, say to him in your heart:
By the same power that slays you, I too am slain, and I too shall be consumed.
For the law that delivers you into my hand shall deliver me into a mightier hand.
Your blood and my blood is naught but the sap that feeds the tree of heaven."
- Kahlil Gibran

..something to remember always!
