Hunting Season

Hunting should never be a title for anything of mine, however I have two wonderful guys who love this sport-Is it a sport? Anywho, hunting season is fast approaching and my life this winter will be ever changing! Not really but I do want to give some props to my dear husband. Chris and I have known each other over half my life, 16 years, we've been married 7 years and he is the love of my life, my best friend. Seeing him blossom into a father has truely made my cup runneth over. You see fishing and hunting are 2 things he has always enjoyed and I've just kind of accepted the fact that during winter; life would be missing Chris quite frequently, he's always been a little selfish when it comes to the hunting thing. Fortunately for Chris our 3 year old son is into the whole fishing/hunting stuff. Last year Chris took him hunting 1 of the 3 times he got to go and they shot a deer! Chris wanted to take him every time he went, but other hunting companions differed! I've always thought in Chris' mind he would always think, 'when am I going to get to go hunting' but I've learned he's actually thinking 'when am I going to get to take Li hunting'. This is his main focus, a loving father who wants to share the joy of the sport with his son at every opportunity. It overjoys my heart to know that Chris has grown to be such a great father who wants to make his children happy, even if that means his life may miss opportunities. For our son's opportunities my DH is performing sweat equity at a hunting club! He did the same thing last year however opportunities did not blossom. You should always be able to trust someone's word, that is what we are taught, but it's amazing how little that means to some people these days. My wonderful husband has taken certain moments in stride, but he ceases to amaze me, he is ever changing and growing, and I can honestly say that I am very proud that he is less passive than in the past. He's grown tired of being "used" and has made vast changes in our life recently, so far for the good. As life is ever changing I do see more in our future, some may be heart wrenching, some difficult, but sometimes you just have to let go and live life and be happy because God and your family are the most important things that life has to offer.
