"You an me goin' fishin' in the dark..."

Here's Marden and I looking like poster-children wana-bees for the L.L.Bean catalog. Our shared passion is fly fishing, and this is us in Colorado fishing on the South Platte River. (No comments about the size of my trout, please). I've been fly fishing now since college, and have graduated up to tying my own flies (that didn't stop us from spending a small fortune on flies out there) and making my own fly rods. Someday I'd like to start my own custom rod building business, but as of now, it's just a hobby. Marden didn't start fly fishing until last year when we met, but he's taken off with it like a rocket. As you can see, he's got the look down. We're even having a fly-fishing themed wedding!

Alrighty...after some bugging from faraway friends, I have decided to create a blog...which sounds like something that happens to a bug when you step on it, or when you fart underwater. Apparently it's not. Anyway, seemed like a good way to keep in touch with folks, so I'll give it a go. For those of you who may not know, I am now living in northeast AR. If you're thinking of moving here, please reconsider...unless you think rice fields are pretty, ignorance is bliss, and mosquitoes make good pets. I work at an Arkansas State Park as an Assistant Superintendent. What does an Asst. Supt. do, you might wonder? When I find out I'll let you know...to the general public it seems that I am only known as "Hey Park Ranger!"
Anyhoo, here is a pic of me, Marden (my fiance), and my brother Trent at the top of Pike's Peak last month. Marden's last name is Hueter. His friends call him "Hooter." I am still coming to terms that I will soon be "Mrs. Hooter." You'd think if I were to be known as "Mrs. Hooter" I could have bigger boobs, but alas...it's apparently destined to be sarcasm. For those of you who don't know, the Dodson-Hooter nuptuals are set for Oct. 28th...keep a lookout for your invitations! I agree Lena...an e-vite would be so much easier. Stay tuned for more from your friendly Park Ranger.
