A Hunting We Will Go

Yesterday Adam and I headed off to the woods. His parents watched the kids, and despite the intermittent showers, we were off. Now, I'm a hunter at heart. I like to hunt for bargains...new clothes, purses, jewelry, etc., but that's not the kind of hunting we did yesterday. :) Adam is a true hunter, and because he enjoys it so much, I do try to go with him a time or two each year. I don't shoot though. Me with a gun...scary...

We headed up the side of the mountain and before long I was huffing and puffing. I started to say that I hadn't worked out for seven weeks, but then I realized that beyond our walks, I haven't worked out for almost two years! (as in on a regular basis, and more than walking...) But with some stops, we made it to the place that we were going to settle in for a while to wait. Going off the side of the trail I slipped and fell on my butt - quite the graceful hunter I am!

But we did make it, and although all we ended up seeing was a squirrel, we did have a good time being away together. It was really quiet, and the whole way up the trail the Lord was speaking to me. I dare to say that if I was at home, caught up in the daily activities of taking care of the kids, those words would not have come - at least quite like that.

So even though hunting is not something I would have ever done without Adam, I'm glad that we were able to spend some quiet alone time together.

You think your fall off the trail scared all the deer away? ;)

hehe...perhaps, but I did try to muffle a scream to a very quiet squeak. :)
