Lay Beneath the Stars.

Note: The alternate title for this blog was "dihydrogen oxide up my nose". It was a close race but of course, the hopeless romantic in me 'won' the battle and therefore the title. But "dihydrogen oxide up my nose" earned an honorable mention.

You know the expression, 'Time flies when you're having fun?' Well, they definetly weren't kidding around on that one. Today was amazing but it seemed as if I had blinked and it was over. The day began this morning at ten o'clock and went on to include massive amounts of tubing and tube wars (in pretty rought waters due to wind--the nice thing about this was that there was no one else on the lake because no one was perhaps as crazy (or as desperate) as us to get out on the boat). We then all came back up to the condo and rested before we went to 'nine and dine' at six pm. But of course, knowing my mother (the 'event coordinator') we were there a good hour early. There were two groups to golf--a group of three (My dad, Jon and I) and a group of four (Tara, Colin, my mom and Dwight) and we all enjoyed our time. I must admit, I was nervous at first and it caused me to 'shank' a few balls here and there. But then--I saw that smile and suddenly, I wasn't so nervous anymore. The balls after my nervousness faded (that I continued to shank) I have no excuse for, other than my lack of golf skill. Despite not being a very good golfer, I had an amazing time because I was doing something that a certain someone loves--which made me happy beyond words. After golfing, we headed to the lounge to have some dinner and unfortunately listen to some bad karaoke music. It did however provide some entertainment to the evening which ended when my mom decided she had heard enough out-of-tune singing. The night ended just laying beneath the stars--admiring the beauty of God's creation and His blessings in my life. There is no better way to end a perfect day.
