I'm a Lucky Girl

Thursday, September 4, 2008

As you know, last month Bob and I celebrated our anniversary. Bob gave me a very special surprise gift for our anniversary. He purchased the present almost a month in advance and kept it hidden until the big reveal. There was no question that Bob was very anxious about giving me the much anticipated gift. I had few clues as to what the surprise present might be. I knew that Bob bought the gift at Al's Sporting Goods where he currently works in the hunting and fishing department. I also knew the amount which he spent. I racked my brain and finally decided to just be completely surprised and I was! Bob gave me a Little Henry lever-action .22 rifle for our anniversary. I must be honest that I was completely and utterly shocked when I opened my new gun. I never expected that Bob would buy me a gun. After I got over the initial shock, I was very happy with my present. Bob loves to go shooting and bought me my own special gun so I can join him - how thoughtful. My rifle is actually a youth size rifle which works better for me, because I'm a small person. As I was opening my gun, Bob took play by play pictures to capture my sheer surprise. (I'm sporting my PJ's - Go Bulldogs!)

Excited to Finally be Opening the Secret Gift



Questioning if it's Really a Gun in the Box

Laughing Out Loud Because it Really is a Gun in the Box


Lining Up My Sights on My New Gun!


We've taken my gun out shooting and I did alright. I was able to at least hit the 12 inch target from 35 yards. For my birthday, Bob gave me a nice padded case for my gun along with some other gifts. I must say that I'm a lucky girl to have such a wonderful husband that wants to include me in his interests. Thanks baby-cakes!
