So I forgot two potential hobbies for myself. I posted the blog and later that night I remembered them. Funny that I forgot to include them on my list since they are 2 things I have really been wanting to learn to do for a long while now.
One is Golf. I want to learn to play golf. Golfing, while boring to watch, seems like it might actually be fun to play. I have have tried to hit the ball around a few times and I am not good at it. I imagine, though, with proper teaching and the right equipment I could get good at it. Besides, it would give me an excuse to ride around in a golf cart and own shoes with spikes on them! :)
Next one is Kayaking. I would love to kayak. We have tons of creeks and stuff and even some lakes around. It looks so peaceful (in non rushing water!) Just you, your kayak, and the water! How fun? I like water and stuff so I do not think it would be that difficult to learn to do. I guess one thing you have to learn is to flip yourself back over if you tip. Oh, and I do not think I want to white water kayak, just simple stuff. I am not a HUGE risk taker!

Hobbies
Many people have hobbies. My husband is a duck hunter, that is his hobby, his life basically! That is fine with me. Its a time when he can forget the worries and stress of everyday life and do something he enjoys. That is what hobbies are all about!
He has been telling me I need to find some hobbies myself. So I have decided a few things I want to start doing. One is going to concerts. I love the live atmosphere and all the action. Plus music has a way of helping the soul! It clears my mind and takes me to another place. Its wonderful! When you go to a GOOD concert you come out feeling good, you feel calm. Its euphoric in a way. It just makes you happy. There is a concert coming up in January that I am DYING to go to! Its, of course, a Jason Aldean concert! He is having Eric Church and JaneDear Girls opening. I like Eric Church and hear his live show is awesome. Not sure about the girl duo though. But I am not worried about them! Concerts are a time of fun and laughter and losing your voice and hearing! While these are just ordinary people on stage, same as us all, they sing great songs! Songs that can speak to you or songs that can just help you let loose!
I told my husband this past week that I wanted to take up bow hunting. Why? Because I feel that shooting a bow is a bit more challenging than shooting a gun. You have to be super precise with a bow and you have to let the animal get closer to you. It seems like a challenge and am up for that. Sitting in the woods enjoying God's handiwork! Maybe getting a good animal to bring home and eat. But even if you don't get the animal you get to be surrounded by nature! My ultimate goal would be to get a moose! I LOVE moose! I am not sure why, but I do! They just amaze me. I would love to get one. Granted I would have to become REALLY good with a bow to kill a moose!
I would also like to get back into the duck hunting thing. I have been a few times in the past, but I know as my boys (I have 2) get older they will be going with their father to duck hunt. I think this would make a great family outing! I just need to brush up on my shot gun skills. Meaning I need to start practicing with clay pigeons! This is something I would like to do so I can have some ultimate family time and good conversations. I want us to be a good family unit and nothing wrong w/ bonding over a decoy spread waiting for the ducks to come in! :)
Of course, being a girl, I LOVE shopping! Its a great hobby! Just cost money! However, shopping does make me happy! My favorite part is seeing how good of a bargain I can get! I love shopping sales and then telling everyone how awesome of a deal I got! I have gotten pretty good at it too! So if you need advice on shopping and getting the best deals I am usually a good person to talk to! Generally I have a hard time paying full price for things. Yes, I do on occasion, but it can be hard to let go of that money when I think I might be able to get a good deal later on!
Those are a few hobbies. I hope that a few of them I can start working on soon and the others I hope to continue! I do have a busy schedule but I am sure I can work on it! Just gotta get my mind set on doing it! Also, after I learn some of this stuff I can help teach my kids. Its all about creating that family time!
