Boys will be boys.....

Tonight we went out to some land that belongs to Seth's best friend and his family. We go out there often and check on it for them. There have been some horses and a donkey abandoned out there for over a year. I have been trying to get the donkey to let me pet him since I first saw him. Tonight I got him to eat out of my hand. He's beautiful. I would bring him home with me if I could.

While we were out there we took a metal target to Seth's best friend, Michael. He had called before we left and asked that we bring it with us if we were going out there. When we drove up he was getting ready to cast a line into the pond. He fished for a little bit. He and Seth talked. Talent and I sat in the truck and watched them. After a little while they decided they would try out one of the guns that Michael had brought with him to shoot.

I watched my husband and his best friend shoot guns for a while. I don't know that I've ever been so happy to see the two of them together. I noticed that they talked and Michael showed Seth a few things about his gun. They talked some more, shot some more, and I saw them both laugh. I love that Michael gets to be home for the next three years.

I'm probably the only crazy wife in the world that would rather her husband be out with his bachelor best friend than be out with his married best friends. But, I know that this best friend is the real deal. I know that this best friend is the kind that loves my husband like a brother and with that, we have developed our own friendship. It makes my heart happy that my husband has such a great friend. It's good to know that when he goes and does guy stuff with Michael he is laughing and having a great time. Everyone deserves to have that one friend that they can just be themselves with.
