Camo Girl

One Sunday Spencer was in Elder's Quorum and the lesson was on Eternal Marriage. They were discussing how it's important for spouses to do things together. One question was posed to Spencer. "Spencer, how did you get your wife to bow hunt with you"? Well what the guys don't know is that Spencer has been trying for 12+ years to get me involved in any of his outdoor activities. While dating he bought me a fishing pole. Our first Christmas together he bought me a shot gun. One Valentine's Day he bought me hip waders. Romantic huh, need I say more? The truth is, I do enjoy all of those things once in a while, but not as much as he does.

Spencer finally hit the target when he picked up bow hunting. I knew from going to girls camp that I liked archery. We started target shooting out at the Ridgeway's house a lot this spring and I couldn't get enough. Spencer jumped on that as fast as he possibly could. In fact, his Father's Day gift actually turned out to be a gift for me. He bought me a bow. I felt bad that I made out with a present instead of him, but apparently he felt like it was a good trade.
