Kimbo Central: Kimbo is the new Rambo

I have to say that we had the most eventful weekend here in the land of Kimbo. Friday night when Phil came home from work he brought me a beautiful rose in a glass swan vase, and took me out to dinner to a Mexican restaurant that I love.

Saturday we decided to head to downtown Phoenix and take in a Diamondbacks game. We got there early and got tickets, then walked around downtown for a bit, stopping by the Arizona Center where they had a beautiful garden we walked through. When we got back to the ballpark, we found we had excellent seats and the game was pretty good, we won 5-4. Afterward they opened up the roof of the ballpark (for those that don't know, the ballpark is air conditioned, being as we live in what could be none as hell during the summer, and there is a retractable roof. The lit the fireworks off from the top of the parking garage, set to music, and it was really beautiful.

Sunday morning we woke up early to head out to Usery Park Shooting Range. Phil has a few guns that he uses for hunting and enjoys going to the range to shoot. Now, those who know me, know that I have always been afraid of guns, and when I say afraid, I mean deathly afraid, to the point where if I went into a room where there was a gun, I had to leave. He has three rifles that are in our closet, and for someone who is afraid of a small handgun, these rifles look very scary and intimidating. He has a .22 rifle that he said didn't have a big kick to it (translation: wouldn't knock me on my ass or break my shoulder), and for a few hours I watched him and the others around us shoot. There was two girls there, who looked about 16, shooting away and having a good time, and I realized I was just being a pussy for not at least trying it. Plus I knew that Phil wouldn't let me do anything stupid, like shoot my foot off. So when he asked me if I wanted to try it, I decided why the hell not. He got me all set up, and I aimed at my target, and fired my first shot. And it was a hell of a lot of fun! And surprisingly, I am kinda good, I was shooting really well he said, and I found the more I did it, the more I wanted to continue doing it. I realized there is nothing to be scared about, as long as you practice proper gun safety. After we left there we headed over to Sportsman's Warehouse and Walmart to look at some .22 rifles that would be a good size for me, so we are thinking about getting me one. Phil even mentioned I could enter into competitions. That might be fun if I practice more and get good. Who knew I would like it!

So there was my weekend...I took a few pics from the game, plus I brought home my target and took a picture of how well I did. Hope you all had as fun a weekend as I did!
