Family Weekend

So, not a whole lot has been going on lately, at least not anything that makes me want to sit down and type about it. Pretty uneventful week. Had a double header softball game Thurs, that was neat. They actually played two pretty good games. The last was the best, they got 8 runs in! Like 4 of them in one inning! We were proud. Here is part of that:



Sooo. Been trying to get out and play softball a bit with Lee every evening after it cools off. We may be playing in a charity benefit softball tournament soon. So I best be up to par! I'm getting better. I can throw decent now, and my catching is getting there, needs lots of work still. I am probably going to be playing the hind catcher, so I practiced that a bit, having Lee pitch me balls. Its a lot harder then it looks! Besides the fact your thighs start killing you.

So Friday we had planned a family bque thing. We all brought stuff and dad grilled steaks. And we played some v-ball and then kicked the soccer ball around. Kirsty and I brought our bows and we shot a bit. Then we went down to the theatre room and played some call of duty on the x-box and then the new tiger woods golf game. Which I WON! hehehe, first time playing ever! It sounds boring, but is actually quite fun.

Then sat morning we slept in a bit, and then headed over to my oldest bros. He bought a HUGE playset for Dawson. It was $1500!! Its 3 stories! Spoiled much?? Haha. He was SO loving it though. After we got a bunch put together, all but the swings and monkey bars, he was playing on it and was just smiling and laughing!

Bowser came with us and he had a lot of fun too. He loves little kids. When Dawson started going down the slide he was getting so excited and wanted to play with him.




So after that Chris and them wanted us to go swimming, so we went and picked up dinner (taco bell, lol) and then came on over there. It was COLD. I didn't stay in long, lol. Then on home! Sunday we got up and went to church, then small group. We played golf again but I got 3rd this time, behind the two that play all the time, lol. I was only like 1 stroke off the 2nd place.

Then after that they were going to go to a friends moms house on the lake and swim, etc. Well I REALLY wanted to go. I love the water, lake, swimming, sea dooing, tanning, etc. All that was going to be going on. And Jamie and them was going...well of course Lee doesn't like any of these things much, especially at a persons house he doesnt know, and it was a long ways away, and he has to get up at like 5. So we went back and forth for awhile with the welll, if YOU want to go fine, or if you dont want to go fine, etc. And he won. I just said to myself, fine, I know he'll be uncomfortable, and we always do what I want to, so I will sacrifice. Well, I TRIED to be in a good mood, but it didn't work, and I gave myself a headache wishing I was with them, and not there, and trying not to show it. NOT A GOOD DAY.

So Lee asked me if I wanted to go find some geocaches, so I was like okay, that will get my mind off it. So we went trying to find one near where we were that I had put in my GPS. We searched forever and never found it. I brought home two ticks on me tho, -_-. Thankfully just crawling and not attached yet. Then we had the GPS try to take us home a diff way, and it took us up in someones gravel driveway, there was no road there. It was weird. The GPS had the road going all the way back to the highway. But it DIDN'T. Great.

So we headed back to our town, and got fast and furious to watch. It sucked. I was expecting a lot more. Oh well. It was watchable. Although I could have done without all the stupid girls making out with each other and the bootys and boobs swinging around. GAG ME. Seriously. Def not one I want to watch again. So I was pretty happy when yesterday was over. I feel kinda ill at Lee, its his fault I had such a crappy time, but whatever. I need to grow up and get over it. I'm trying. :shrug:

We played a little ball that night too, I was doing pretty decent! Lee was just happy to see me out of my funk I think. I just talked to my bro he said they had a supercharged sea doo, and the mom made them dinner, then they road arounc on the lake at dark. Wow, I really feel sucky now...whatever.

So wednesday we are doing something fun. Taking off work and going to the water park! hehe, six flags whitewater for the sis in laws birthday. Hopefully it wont rain, supposed to be scattered t-storms. 40%. Hopefully it will miss us! I also hope Lee will be okay with it. He's as you all know, not a fan of water, and especially getting water over his head. He said he will be fine, but we'll see!

So anywho, guess thats all for now. Adios!

Is It Time To Leave YET??

So sitting at work, and I think time has stopped moving, or at least has slowed down. I think it has been 5 something forEVER. Of course thats because I get off at 6. Lee is supposed to be meeting me here at that time and then we are headed over to his softball game. HOIPEFULLY they won't get massacred again tonight. Although Im not holding my breath. They almost won one last week, but Tues game sucked pretty bad. Lee played good tho! Just wish everyone else would get their act together!!

Me and Lee Lee before a game

So not a whole lot has been going on. We worked at the fireworks stand all day Fri and Sat. Wasn't as bad as I was thinking it would be. Still havent seen the moola yet though. -_-' I found a few hotels that look promising, if we decide to go to the beach. One is in Fort Walton, FL, the other Gulf Shores, AL. The one in AL is 3 miles from the beach, the one in FL 20 mins, ugh. But it is nicer and cheaper. Go figure. We shall see... I kinda feel bad though if we DO go, because the bro and sis in law were kinda planning on going to the beach in August with the pop up together. But its not romantic if you go with someone else, you know?? And Lee and I haven't had a trip together since our honeymoon over 3 years ago. But I don't want to shaft them either.

So I slept till like 10:30 today. UNHEARD OF! I was tired though, we were out late swimming in a friends pool and I was tired from the weekend still. So then I only had like 20 mins to lay out and then had to get a shower and go to work. Oh well. I got it all done, though not as tan as I'd hoped. I want to get a good start going before Sat, we are planning on taking the boat and sea doo out to the lake. YESSS. Hopefully the sea doo is fixed. Dad put a new oil filter on it, so PLEASE GOD let that be what was wrong with it! (the old one was cracked)

I think Lee and I should prolly take it out Friday afternoon just to see if it is okay, instead of dragging it out with everyone else and having it screw up and then being stuck with it, you know?

Oh, we did do something interesting last Sunday. My bro got a Land Rover given to him by his in laws. Only a few things wrong with it, which he has fixed, and he wanted to take it out off roading. So our friends amanda and ryan have a FJ Cruiser, and they came along, just in case we needed to be towed, haha. Another friend also came on his four wheeler.

So there is a 4-wheeler/off road place like 3 mins down the road from our house, so we went to that one. I didn't have a whole lot of fun at the time, but looking back on it, it was pretty fun, lol. I just don't like not being in control. When I am in a vehicle being driven by someone else, doing things like leaning sideways and going up and down steep hills, etc, I get VERY NERVOUS!! I really wanted to be on a four wheeler, not stuck in the back seat!

Pretty pictures of the power lines you could see from the
trail



Anyway, we got to a part that went kind of down hill and was REALLY rutted up from the rain the night before. So I was like IM GETTING OUT, haha. Jamie stayed in, shes crazy, and Lee got out to guide him. Well it took like 30+ mins just to navigate that, and he almost turned the sucker over!! I think I lost about 3 years of my life watching it! Scared that crap out of me. Heres the first part of him trying to get down it, not the worst by far!

Anywho, we made it past that and nothing else was a problem, thank goodness!! Here we are after we survived, hehe.


After that we headed back to my house, well minus amanda and ryan, and I ordered some Dominos and me and Jamie went and got it and a movie. We got Push, which was really weird and not something I'd watch again. Then they went home and that was about it!

So its about time to close and Lee is out waiting on me, so I guess I will go, adios!
