"Here's one for the Frig" - So we married a Outdoo

[bwm]

I found this on another website. I liked it, thought I would share it.


"So we married a Outdoorsman?"

So we decided that this man who stays out in the hot sun all day long to catch fish that he just throws back in the water, is the one you want to spend the rest of your life with. This man who climbs out of a warm bed way before daylight to go sit in a duck blind in sub-freezing weather is the one you want to father your children.

Good choice!!!!!!

We have entered into a relationship that we will never quite understand, yet a relationship that you will have a wonderful time telling other people about. It will be a relationship full of contradictions, confusion, laughter, and caring.

You'll be amazed by his ability to find fish in a 50,000-acre lake and his inability to find his truck keys on the dresser. You'll get mad about how he makes fun of your cooking in front of others while he eats sardine's and crackers and red rind hoop cheese with his buddies in a boat while saying "it doesn't get any better than this."

You'll be perplexed why he scrambles to get a piece of paper that accidentally blows out of the boat into the water, then constantly leaves his dirty socks on the living room floor. You'll marvel how he can shoot a duck at 50 yards away or hit a deer dead center with a bow and arrow from 25 feet up in a tree, yet miss the commode.

You married a man who will stay in a camp house without a shower for three days, smoking cigars, dipping snuff, and eating beanie weenies; then come home not knowing why the biggest buck he has ever seen caught wind of him. You married a man who can remember the minute, the weather and the exact spot in a 200 acre swamp from which he shot a banded black duck seven years ago, but he probably won't remember your birthday from one year to the next.

There will be days early in the marriage when you'll wonder about his heart, but those fears about a man who will shot a deer and not even flinch will be erased when you see the tears in his eyes when his first child is born.

Your concern about his inability to show emotion will disappear when you discover the inner-man you never knew, mourning over the death of his old dog.

Your love for this man will grow through the years as you learn more about the love that really lives in his heart. Understanding will come when you see him leave his buddies at home and take his kids out on their first hunting or fishing trip together.

A man who shivers with anticipation at the sight of 6 mallards cupped up, a golden sunrise and the sound of the wind running across their wings, has no trouble loving the only woman powerful enough to make him want to come home.
