Documentary Assignment: Life List

Some people have bucket lists of things they want to do before they die.  I call mine my life list because there are some things I need to do in order to feel like I've lived my life well.  Although I'd love to visit the Louvre or go sky diving, most of the things on my life list are what most people would call ordinary.  Things like buying a hot dog from a hot dog vendor in New York, ride in a taxi, catch fireflies in a jar, and shoot a hand gun.  The later is the inspiration for the next set of photos.  I've had the opportunity to shoot a handgun before, but unfortunately the person I went with only had one handgun and it got jammed before I had a chance to try it.  However, a couple of weeks ago a friend of my husbands invited us to go shooting with him, and guess what... he brought a handgun.

Girls and Boys

Friday night I was telling Erik that I kind of miss doing the whole girls night thing.  Staying up late, watching chick flicks, doing each others hair and nails, and, of course, eating junk food.  So, Erik decided we'd have a girls night together:)  We watched funny movies and did each others nails (no nail polish for Erik, but he did let me file them:) and we even did each others hair.  We looked pretty awesome by the time we were done.  It was so much fun!

 On Saturday we went the opposite direction.  Erik's friend Adam invited us to go shooting with him and I just happen to have "shooting a handgun" on my Life List.  It was so fun!

This is Adam, he was so nice to invite us to go.  We had so much fun and he said we could go again sometime too, so I'm already excited for that.

I didn't even pay attention to if I was hitting any of the targets, it was just fun to shoot.  The guys said I did hit some though, so that was pretty cool.

Erik had never shot a handgun before either.  He caught on really quick, he was doing way good.

And here are some of our poor targets... pretty darn cool, hu? :)
