I'm Back!



Hello!


Long time, no talk! I know it's been a long time. I've been so busy with work, school, and just running around. Usually when I get time off I want time off just to wind down and not have to worry about anything.

On the contrary, today felt like a good day to do a post.
So let's catch up!





We've gotten a crazy snow storm a few weeks ago and I got out to take some pictures before helping shovel the sidewalk. By the time I went back inside and my jeans were soaked up to my thighs. It was so cool though. Those are the winter days I like.



After much convincing my Dad finally agreed to let me get a pet rat. We went to a couple different places looking at all the different rats, you know, scoping out options. At a pet store they had this really cool Fischer's Chameleon, I believe it's called. He was the cutest little thing. One day, hopefully. I think they are one of the coolest creatures.


The next day I got my pet rat.





Her name was Hedwig. I tried SO HARD to make this work. We got along, she liked me from the get-go, the problem was her cage stunk SO BAD. I'd clean it than two hours later I had my blanket over my head trying to hide the smell. It just didn't work. I couldn't take it any longer.
We ended up taking her back. It wasn't a good day.








This was such a great experience.  My Mom and Pap were gonna take a shooting class together and he offered me up the spot if I wanted to go. Not thinking much of it, I said yes.
Best two seconds of courage ever.
Our teacher was wonderful. He's very nice, funny, knows his stuff, and seems like a Christian man.
The first class we covered some chapters in the handbook, he gave us donuts(mine had blue icing. Blue icing is the best icing), we found out there would be a test the following week, than we shot a series of different .22's.

The next week, we got there, went over a couple more chapters, had another donut, then we went over the test. We got certificates which had to be one of the best feelings ever. Then we shot bigger guns. The range is 50ft.

It was such a cool experience. The first week there was an ex-marine who helped with the class in the range and he wasn't to fond of my form when shooting. He was very particular. This week though he wasn't there and our main teacher was just fine with my form.
It's gonna take practice but I'm really really excited about it.



Also, the last thing is that I joined a gym. It has been one of the greatest choices ever. Been there for almost a month now and going a few times a week. I'm already starting to notice some changes, and I'm getting used to the growing hunger, but it's been a great choice. I'm thinking of doing some posts or something on it. Haven't quite decided yet.



Hope you all are doing well!
