Christmas Comes Early

My Christmas present from Nathan arrived yesterday!

This was originally his idea... wanted to teach me how to shoot and handle a gun. At first I was thinking about all of the clothes, shoes, and purses I would rather have! But now, believe it or not, I am actually very excited about this present.

On our trip to the gun store to look and get a feel for what size I needed, I felt a little silly as I didn't really know how to handle it. Thankfully, the older gentleman at the store was very patient with me. Nathan did tell him not to worry that I wouldn't be on the streets with it anytime soon :-)

Nathan had it all cleaned by the time I got home from work last night and was ready to show me how to handle it. I'm anxious for our first trip to the shooting range!

Don't worry Mom, it is put away in a safe place!
