Steel Challenge and a house wife

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? ;)

And your Animal corner:

sometimes the cat gets too close. She does not understand personal space.

Easter and Not Having Friends at Church

I had the privilege of teaching the Easter lesson this Sunday. I taught on the Savoir's last week on earth. I hid Easter eggs all over the room with scpritures on Christ inside them. The girls loved the Easter egg hunt because their parents say they are too old for egg hunts.  Sunday's are hard sometimes. I caught my self crying during sacrament today. well, because I have no friends. About a year ago our Ward was dissolved. I had a lot of friends at church, some who have become my best friends. My good friend Jenni who lives a block away and was really my only friend in the ward, moved across town yesterday. Another family I am friends with is moving as well. Church is the hardest place to make friends. I feel like because I don't have kids, and I'm not a newly wed, I don't fit in with any of the groups. The people my age have a million kids, and the couples without kids are kids themselves and just got married like last week, and no one has really wanted to be my

2016

I have sat and thought a lot about what I am going to say in this post. So much has happened this year, its been rough but it also has been a blessing. What doesn't kill us makes us stronger, right? I learned a lot this year. First of all the biggest thing I learned that I definitely paid for was listening to bad feelings. I learned what true friendship was, and saw the ones who cared and saw the ones who didn't. I learned about priorities and what really is important in life. I learned of death and that death is not the end. I learned patience. Maybe I didn't learn patience but I tolerated patience. I learned and always knew that no matter what happens in life that you and your spouse are all that matters. Lets start off with January. Chris was working at the juvenile detention center 45 minuets away from our house. This was a wonderful job opportunity that we both felt so good about. It started to become rough. He was gone all the time and we never saw each other. He

I like older men.

This weekend was Christopher's birthday!! My main man is 33 now, I'm still holding on to my mid twenties like my life is depending on it.  We went for a short get a way to the big city, Salt Lake City. Left the dogs with the grand parents and off we went. After I doused myself in essential oils I was calm enough to sit as a passenger in the car. I think I made my self too sick with anxiety and worry. Tears were shed for no reason in the middle of a resturant and hanging over the toilet Happened. It's either my anxiety or these fertility drugs I was taking. But I have my big girl panties on and can handle this!  The first thing we did was hit up Cripsy Cream. It's like heaven in your mouth. Lunch was at Roadizo Grill. We took our selves shopping and back to the hotel for rest.  The next morning we found a random Ward to attend to take the sacrament, stopped to take a look at the Brigham City Temple, and got back on the road. Like I said, this was a super fast trip.  When
