My New Hobby

I have really enjoyed the last two times that Micah & I have gone out on the kayak.  I enjoy spending time with and having great conversations, laughing and smiling and teasing each other in fun.  Being out on the water is amazing.  I love looking around at all that surrounds me, the trees, rocks, water, birds.  I love taking pictures and have gotten brave enough to take my camera out on the kayak, wrapped in a zip-lock bag.  I feel confident enough now that we shouldn't tip over.  The paddling is great exercise.  There is just something so wonderful about paddling in a little boat moving around in the water exploring the sites all around you.  Its a hard feeling to describe but I enjoy every moment I can.  Micah & I have gone on two day trips and are planning to more as the weather gets warmer.  Micah enjoys exploring too but most of all he is a fisherman.  He loves to fish.  He is very patient while he waits to catch a fish.  I enjoy watching him too along with the sites.  I know that sounds a little funny but his expressions while sitting there along with our conversations can be insightful.  I enjoy the closeness I feel when we are out on the water together.  They are moments to enjoy.  Micah enjoys fishing, dirt biking, and camping.  I can fish but I find myself distracted with looking around me and not at my line.  I enjoy watching him ride his dirt bike while praying that he doesn't get hurt as he enjoys his ride.  I like to camp too.  I have found that camping as a family is a great thing to do.  Camping seems to bring us all closer.  As I started writing this post I was thinking that I was going to share how much I've come to enjoy kayaking and that was my new hobby.  I have re-read this post and in closing I have realized that my new hobby is spending time with my husband, enjoying things he likes to do outdoors and things that we both like.  At the end of the day we both have enjoyed our time together and the activity and can go home with a smile on our face and in our hearts.
