I dont know of any other women that would put up with this!

So it was our (my wife and I) 10th year anniversary yesterday. There is not a card in the world that could express my thoughts so I wrote her a letter in kind of a poem fashion. I told her how I realize how hard she works at work and home taking care of house, husband and kids and how I am typically in my own little world applying for tags, planning hunts, reloading, shooting, scouting, staring at google earth etc.......Of course she thinks I have it all wrong and that I spend lots of time with her and the girls and helping out.....WTH???? Every other woman I know whould kick my a$$ to the curb for all the time and coin I put into shooting and hunting. I mean seriously, since we have been married I have easily spent 100K on hunting trips, hunting equipment, taxidermy bills, airfare, bush planes, fuel, etc......

 

It has been especially rough the last year or so. As a beyond help elkoholic, I have been whining and sniveling for months and months about not having been able to go on another elk hunt for the last (seemingly) umpteen years. Yet she never complains about it. Now that I have an elk tag burning a hole in my pocket this year it is even worse. I watch elk vidoes every day, scream on the bugle and whimper on the cow calls. Yet she says she is happy for me. WTH??

 

What ever I did to deserve this kind of treatment is beyond me but I am NOT going to complain about it, I am not going to throw her back. I am just going to happilly accept this gift for what it is. A beautiful life.

 

God bless my woman!

Yeah, I would think I had a beautiful life too if I had that same elk tag in MY pocket! LOL!

 

Congrats on the 10 years and the perfect wife! JIM>
