Went target shooting yesterday

[Donnaj4962]

Oh Jenn, I am so envious. My boyfriend goes shooting periodically with some of his buddies, and I keep asking to tag along. I grew up with my Dad hunting and there were always guns in the house. I just was never allowed to go with Dad. My bf keeps telling me that he will take me, and I am going to hold him to that!

JOKINGLY.... he called me one day and left me a voicemail telling me that he and his buddies were going target shooting and they were wondering if Tabby and Sasha could come along to be their moving targets! Believe me, he was only kidding! He knows how much I adore my girls! It was funny, but he knows not to joke about it again!

Have fun! And keep us posted on this new relationship! Sounds like a great guy!

I just keep saying I'm amazed at how well things are going. He's such a nice guy, very down to earth, soft spoken a lot of the time, but funny and a great sense of humor. He accepts me for me, and that just makes such a difference. I want to see myself thinner and healthier, and he is all for that, but also said he has no issue with my weight as it is.

We've got a lot in common, being from the same area growing up. We met when we were about 16 when we went roller skating at a local rink. We almost dated at one point, but another guy got in the way of things, and then he got married.

I think things happen for a reason. I know we never would have made it past a few months with the way my head was on back then. I was having emotional issues and not really dealing with them, and I think it would have ended badly. We're both older now and we both appreciate what we've each gone through.

I'm just enjoying what we have right now. I'm not holding my breath, because I don't like to have expectations, but something long term would be lovely.

I'll keep you guys up to date.

Gather milk jugs, fill them with water and food coloring.

I remember when I went shooting around 30 years ago with some buddies from college. I got to try all sorts of weapons. The folks I shot with were very safety conscious; we had hearing protection and goggles, and they admonished us of the "zeroth rule" (Don't point a gun at anything you don't intend to shoot.) If more folks were responsible like that there wouldn't be the gun trouble that there is now.

I remember when I was a kid and shot a rifle for the first time and it knocked me on my a$$. My dad either forgot to tell me -- or I wasn't listening -- to butt it up against my shoulder.

I was on the rifle team in Middle School -- yes, I'm so old that schools actually had shooting teams. I am still a very good shot but don't get a chance to practice very often anymore.

I go every so often with my hubby. About the only thing I have a chance of hitting the target with is my .22 target pistol. Can not hit the broad side of a day glo orange elephant with anything else. Hubby's gun glub has a bunch of bowling pins that I shoot at sometimes. I love it! It is so much fun when you hit them right and they spin like the bad guy falling off the saloon roof in the cowboy movies....

And being a Civil War re-enactor I also know how to fire a cannon...talk about a RUSH!!!
