Saturday was my favorite monthly match! Steel challenge! It was a colder cloudy day. Most of our team mates were there and it was so fun hanging out with my gun gals. We got to shoot with our favorite range officer, and some husbands were there. Chris could not make it because he was so busy with work. I placed 33 out of 56 total, 4th out of 12 for lady, and 2nd for adult rim fire iron, (.22 caliber) It was a satisfying match, and I love being out shooting with my favorite people.
after the match I started my reno on my phonograph. I did some sanding, and I am so excited to see the end result! In the evening all I wanted to do was go out for ice cream with my Christopher. This week has been an emotionally hard week for the both of us. Chris clocked in about 60 hours this past week and got home most nights between 11pm and 1am. I never saw him this week. His job is tough working with federal kids and I feel bad for how tired he is. It was hard for me because I was alone all week long. I am a very independent girl sometimes where I can take charge, tell anther man what to do, and do what ever I want when I want. But most times I am very vulnerable when I need a man to take care of me and take out my garbage. And Chris does just that. He takes such good care of me, and I have come to rely on him for so much, maybe too much. The poor guy has been so exhausted this week and I feel bad. So for a little bit we went for ice cream and got groceries. So romantic, right?
Sunday Chris and I went to a missionary home coming for one of the Young Men Chris has served with. This is the first missionary from Chris' and mines serving the youth to come home. I was the Young Women's president and camp director, and one of my 12 year olds is on her mission now, and Chris was the Young Men's president and Scout Master and now this young man is home. It is amazing to see the change in people when they serve the Lord. He has grown so much and has matured greatly. My favorite part was at his party, he asked Chris to teach him how to shoot again. Chris told him that I could actually teach him, and he was so amazed and stunned that I am a competitive shooter and president over a women's gun club. He said he remembered when I got my first pink .22 rifle. That rifle has long been sold!
You know, I may look like a bad ass on paper ( well, sometimes, who am I kidding?) But really sometimes all I want to do in life is put on an apron, bake, and make babies. Its what I was born to do. Can I secretly tell you that I love being a house wife? I love to create a happy clean home. I love to scrub the toilet, I love to make dinner. Sunday was the first time in a while I put on my apron and got to baking. I love to bake more than I like to cook. I'll take baking cookies over chicken any day! I made some blondies for the mission homecoming and for a meeting I had in the evening.
sometimes I shoot guns and don't wash my hair for days at a time, and other times I wash my hair and put on a skirt. There has to be balance in life.
I had a Women of Caliber meeting Sunday evening. Consisting of eating, playing with guns and puppies, and girl talk. Our actual meeting was only 45 minuets and the other 4 hours and 15 minuets were just spent socializing. I love my gun friends, I love that we share a common interest and we get along and understand each other. I have my Bunco girls, and I love our time, talking about house work, clothes, hair, getting our nails done, families, and I love that. I also love my gun girls where we talk about ya know, Guns! Like I said a second ago, you need balance in life.
oh, did I mention my friends are weird too? ;)
