Shotgun Shooting!

So I have been dating this guy for about 7 months now his name is John and he is pretty great! He is the only man I have ever dated that cooks for me and he is actually really good at it! Anyways Sunday we went with his brother to one of their friend's house and rode four wheelers. Their friend has a ton of land and trails that you can ride on and it's right next to the Mitchell River. The land is very beautiful and our original plan was to go fishing and shoot skeet! Although Sunday was a beautiful day I believe that the water was still to cold to really have any success at catching fish. So after an hour of fishing we finally gave up and headed to an open field to shoot. Now I have shot several handguns with my dad, but I have never shot a shotgun. John and his brother are very good at shooting skeet so I was very intimidated to shoot it! They first set up still targets to get me use to shooting the gun and then after successfully shooting those I started in on shooting skeet. Surprisingly I did pretty good for a first timer!!! They threw about 10 skeet for me and I hit 6 of them!! It was so much fun!!! I would love to do it again. I think that my dad and I are going to go shoot his one day, which I'm really excited about because I love spending time with my dad! I strongly suggest that if you've never shot a shotgun or skeet that you do, because I'm sure you really really enjoy it! So Sunday was a pretty good day until I got back up the mountain and started to feel bad. I have been feeling bad since Friday, but I thought that maybe my body would take care of it by itself. Sadly I was mistaken and had to go to the infirmary today and was diagnosed with strep throat. Don't worry I will not be in class tomorrow to be giving it to any of you, because this truly sucks!
