Waking up before the sun comes up is definitely not for me, but opening morning of bow season I did it just for my boyfriend. The alarm going off right next to my ear should have been a huge eye opener, but instead I just rolled to the end of the bed, unplugged the phone and shoved it into Brandon's waiting hand. As the morning person that he is, he rolled out of bed and jumped into the shower as I just pulled the covers over my head and snuggled my head into my waiting feather pillow. I was hoping just to get another ten minutes of my wonderful beauty sleep until I had to fight myself to get up and get dressed so that I could walk into the freezing wind and sit in a tree stand for hours.
Reawakening to Brandon throwing his wet towel on me and him warning me that he will leave without me if I am not ready, I forced my bare feet to the carpet and stood up in order to find my hunting clothes which were waiting in a pile in order of what goes on first thanks to my OCD boyfriend. After putting on layers upon layers of under armor and my camouflage lined with light pink on the inside I trudged into the bathroom to brush my teeth as I could hear the faint sound Brandon rushing me in the background. After shoving my feet into my brand new camouflage boots and rolling my too long pants up thanks to my short legs I was ready to climb into the truck and ride to the woods. Arriving at the woods I was warned to be quiet as we walked towards the "Pond Blind" so that I could sit next to Brandon for three hours in the freezing wind on some hard boards and see nothing but a few does and a huge buck that never came in close enough to aim at. Man I must be a good girlfriend. :)

I used to love being in the woods with my husband it was the sleep I would get. Now I choose to stay home in my warm bed and sleep until I actually have to get up.
ReplyDeleteI am not a morning person either, but I do get up for hunting. No one likes to get up though, especially when it is just to go sit in the wind for hours. Plus theres a chance of never seeing a deer or any other animal living in the woods causing a severe act of being bored.
ReplyDeleteThe warm bed is definitely hard to leave Shannon!
ReplyDeleteJoanna oh how I know you are not a morning person! We have been lucky to see at least one deer every time, but we always see at least three squirrels. :)
