So Wes and I had a little bit of an "unconventional" date this week. We really believe in taking a few hours each week to spend time together with just the 2 of us, to grow closer, to bond, to reflect on our love for one another, to bask in the delight of being in each other's presence and.........

TO SHOOT GUNS!
(you really didn't think I was THAT sappy did you?)
We drove out to the middle of nowhere. It was hot and infested with flies and grasshoppers. It is no wonder no one lives out here. It's hideous!
I have never shot a gun before and never even really held one for that matter. Wes had to school me on gun safety and then proceeded to set up the target. I didn't want to walk in the fields because I was scared of ticks!
He set one target up REALLY far away! I thought there was no way I was going to be able to hit it! Can you see his tiny little dot of a body in this picture?
I first tried the handgun. Blap - Blap, poppin' a cap! It was a lot of fun and I actually got 4 shots in the black area! Not too bad for a first timer!
(yes, my eyes are closed in this picture because a fly landed on my face right as I was about to shoot! I loathe flies more than you can even imagine! What is their freakin' purpose on this earth?)
Bows and Rifles!
Don't mess! I've got game now!

Fun!!!! So did you guys end up going to the cabin anyways? Sorry, Braxton just got over a cold that clogged his ears up and gave him an ear infection. . . . I just didn't want to have him sick again while Eric was gone. Are we still on for Wednesday? You are a regular shoot em' up Montana girl now!!! Woot woot!!!
HA HA HA!! YOU make me laugh. Funny girl! I am watching my back BTW.
I grew up around guns all the time but I am still not a fan, especially of the assault rifles. I used to shoot at 4-H camp and it was OK but maybe I could handle a pistol that didn't kick me when I shoot it.
You rock! I use to own a 9mm :)
Well then, Kristin - YOU ROCK! That is just awesome!
Amy, your posts always make me smile and laugh! I often read yours when I check in on Colett... You are funny!!
