Keeps Me Guessing

Just recently I wrote this post about how Ben has changed since I married him. With so much evolution in such a short time, I thought that I was safe from surprises for awhile.

That is until last Friday, when he came home from work with this:

I believe the first words out of his mouth were, "Honey, what would you think if I took up archery?" I might have jokingly responded that it's cool because Katniss did it, but then I looked up from washing dishes and saw that his question wasn't rhetorical.

He reports that great hobbies aren't found, but instead that they find you. So when a coworker offered to let him borrow his compound bow, he said he couldn't resist. As a bonus, they have an indoor archery range at his work where he can shoot during lunch

Once again I ask, is this the MTC teacher, broadcast journalism student that I married? 

No, but that's okay. He keeps me guessing, in the best ways possible. Especially when I incredulously asked him, "Where in the world are we going to store that thing in this apartment?"

The next day I found it here, on top of the water heater in our laundry nook. I have to admire his ingenuity because even after four years of surprises, that is one thing that hasn't changed.
