<\/p>\nGood morning sweet shoppers! \u00a0Laura here and while my post is titled, 365 days of Bliss….i wanna talk (read: whine) about something that weighs heavily on my mind this time of year. \u00a0I realize that we are just coming off the Thanksgiving holiday here in the states, but i really am not so thankful once hunting season comes around. \u00a0yes. \u00a0i, laura wilson, am a hunting widow. \u00a0my husband is OBSESSED with hunting. \u00a0he works construction and more often than not gets laid off in the winter but even now, when he’s still working, he spends countless hours getting his ‘pit’ ready for the days he does hunt, heck, he even works at a hunt club in the winter. \u00a0now, i’m sure that most of you are thinking, ummm, hello? \u00a0you do a bazillion and 32 layouts a week and you’re calling him obsessed with something? \u00a0well, my loves, that’s what’s so wonderful about being the wife of a hunter. \u00a0i am given the right to complain about how not present he is in our lives this time of year \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
now, my husband only hunts waterfowl so, i do realize that i’m lucky in that respect, but as i mentioned before, he does nothing but talk about hunting this time of year. \u00a0i have to constantly remind him of my ‘honey do’ list (which really isn’t much, because i’m used to him not being around a lot because of his crazy hours with work), remind him of family get togethers, and sometimes i even have to remind him of what we’ve gotten the kids for christmas because we just ‘forgets’ when i talk to him (because his mind is somewhere off in waterfowlandia)! \u00a0 \u00a0what i don’t understand is, the man gets up 2 hours before he normally even gets up for work, in freezing temperatures,\u00a0to go sit in a hole in the ground and wait for birds to fly over his head. \u00a0how is this fun? \u00a0i mean, to each their own, but really? \u00a0he does ‘work’ while he is hunting. \u00a0there’s a big demand for hunting waterfowl here (apparently) because he works for a friend of ours and they have guided hunts almost every day of the week. \u00a0people PAY him to help them call geese\/ducks and he gets to do what he loves, so i suppose i shouldn’t complain too much, but, you get it, right? \u00a0see, look how happy these big lugs look! \u00a0(haha, i’m so funny! \u00a0these boys NEVER smile in photos)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
all of this being said, i do love that he has something to keep him busy while he is laid off in the winter time, but sometimes, i really miss my bubba! \u00a0after 10 years of being together, i’ve learned it’s better to just let him have his time to play and i’ll take care of things on the homefront. \u00a0we’re all happy that way.<\/p>\n
ahh, i feel better now. \u00a0before i go, i want to bring you this week’s layout of the week. \u00a0it sorta sucked having to pick this week because there were SO many amazing releases this weekend and the gallery was so jam packed with awesomeness. \u00a0i did finally come to a decision. \u00a0this layout by tanyiadeskins just absolutely blows my mind. \u00a0i love how she made the wreath, the shadows, that banner and the way she’s placed the sign, it just looks so real to me! \u00a0congratulations tanyia! \u00a0i’ll be PMing you soon!<\/p>\n
