We always joke about this but beings a game of Risk is approaching I thought I would blog.
First I must say (although it may sound weird) I am so glad that this is a hobby that Bubba has. I know, I know.....it is a game that takes hours and let me stress the word HOURS to play.
It means a day for me to be stuck with both kids while he gets to play. If he plays at our house it means I have to clean up. It means I have to listen to him talk about his strategies, and how he is going to find a way to beat the Pappas brothers or Aaron and Sutten. It means me walking in on him watching the fight seen and listening to the war music of the movie Excalibur to get him in the "mind set" (issues...I know). But you know what I wouldn't have it any other way because it also means that he is with good friends that I trust. He is not out at the bars, or running the streets like so many wives have to deal with. Usually it means that I get to hang out with the other "Risk Widows" and have girl talk (usually how crazy our husbands and kids are..lol). I have developed good friend ships from this game. So any time Bubba says he wants to plan a game I am usually all for it....unless its on our anniversary....like last time..lol.

From Risk Widow to another! You couldn't have said it more perfectly than you did. I agree 100%. It is such a blessing to be a "widow" to such wonderful men who put God and family first. There certainly are worse hobbies!
Keep up the good blogging, my sis in Christ and Risk!

Now this is a good post. Your wisdom is impecable. Seeing as in how we're playing tonight, I wonder if he's already started musing about strategy. I'm glad to see you're blogging.
