gone shooting

[i should preface this post by saying this is NOT a post about gun control. just a fun outing with guns :)]
my friend's baby is the prettiest baby there ever was. i cannot get enough of her!


ever since Adam got a shotgun he has been wanting to take me to "learn" how to use it. 
i kept telling him that there is absolutely no reason why i need to know how to shoot a gun. 
mainly because i'm deathly terrified of firearms and constantly have images of me or someone else i love getting blown to pieces.

on one of the days that Adam got out of school early, i reluctantly agreed to go to the desert to go shooting for a little bit.  
after a minor anxiety attack {not an exaggeration. i was near tears.} Adam finally helped me work up enough courage to shoot the shotgun. 
it ended up being a lot of fun even though i'm a terrible shot and didn't hit a single thing. 
but i was just proud that i even did it at all!

it was such a small, cheap activity but was still really great to be able to spend time together and enjoy each other's interests, even if i kind of hate guns. 
plus any time alone away from parent life is priceless. 
in just an hour's time i felt closer to Adam than i had felt all week. 
[especially when he was trying to comfort me during my freak out]

and Adam thinks it's hot that i know how to shoot a gun now. ;)

I am so proud of you! Shooting scares me because of the way the gun kicks after it goes off. I prefer to watch...haha

Hahaha I love this post!! You look like a natural. :)

B loves the fact that I love to shoot. He's all into me having my own gun, and now he's scouring the internets trying to find the perfect shotgun for me. Though, I need a 20gauge, cause a 12 just kills me ha!

Saddle shoes! Yes! :) I went shooting on a date once in high school and the gun blew sparks of ammunition out one side (it was supposed to, and I was told not to hold it there...but I forgot), and I went into shock and had burns all over my hand. So, I am with you on not being too into the gun shooting thing. ;)

I pretty much just want to know where you got your shoes! But way to go on the shooting, too.

I shoot at ranges, I have yet to go skeet shooting. I hope it was fun!
