"deer" husband,

 

I know that I'm REALLY bad at appreciating your hobby.

I often don't understand it.

But I try to.

 

I know you've been waiting all season for that "trophy buck" to mount and hang on the wall...

{in the man cave, of course.}

I know you've been frustrated that things haven't gone the way you planned.

I know you were upset when you shot two does the other day but only recovered one.

I know you put your heart and soul into this hobby.

I know that you view hunting as more than a "hobby."

I know that you've spent a lot of time researching this year.

I know you've gotten a lot of recognition and respect from others in the deer hunting community.

I know that your dream is to make hunting your sole form of income someday.

I know that you'd be good at it...if it ever gets to that point.

And I know I'd support you if we both feel that's what God has in His plan for you.

 

I know that I complain about hunting.

I know that I roll my eyes a lot when you're talking about it.

I know that I make fun of the whole thing.

I know I don't show as much interest as I should.

And I'm sorry.

But I also know that I'm so happy you have something you do that you love so much.

And I know that as long as you keep your priorities straight like you have been, that I will always be ok with this hobby that takes you away from home a lot in the summer/fall.

I know that I love you.

 

xoxo, wife.

 

ps. I also know that I will never like venison.

I know I'll never let you hang a deer in the entry way of our house.

And I know that it will always be unnacceptable in my book to house deer pee in our freezer.

Just thought I should throw that in :)
