August... Olympics!!

I literally made myself sick watching the Olympics this year!! I was obsessed!! I am so happy that NBC got my letter! I simply said you own most of the stations on TV why not use them to show every single moment of these amazing games! It all started with the opening ceremonies to end all opening ceremonies! Yes, yes, I know they pulled a C and C Music Factory (the person showing is not the person singing...hee, hee) but it was still freakin' awesome! And I watched it all, from skulling to fencing (which the American women swept in case you have a life and didn't know that!) But for me the real highlight, the whole thing that made it blog worthy... Michael Phelps!!! I see you rolling your eyes, trust me I am just as sick of him by now as well, but I have my reasons. My reasons being, I'm a swimmer... of course I use that term loosely!! My parents put me in aqua baby classes when I was about 6 months old and I was hooked! I am still, to this day the first one and the last one out of any body of water... I even love taking a shower!! I swam competitively in high school and I was AWFUL, but I loved it! Here in lies my love for Phelps... he had MILLIONS of people watching swimming! Swimming was on primetime TV! People were practically water logged from all the time spent at the watercube! I LOVE IT! I swam competitively for years and I can tell you for a fact there was never more than the obligatory spectator. Parents of swimmers, spouses of coaches, and siblings that weren't old enough to drive or stay home alone. It brought tears to my eyes to hear people talking about lap lanes and goggles!!

Another July... another b-day!!

]Thank you to everyone that made it out on the Birthday Boat Extravaganza again, or for the first time this year!! As always it was AMAZING! Every year we say we are going to make shirts, but as anyone who has been on the boat knows it is hard enough to just get us all on the boat, and every year Nancy and I are soooo blessed to have our nearest and dearest celebrate with us! Nance and I realized that this was our 15th year to celebrate together and the 7th year of the party barge's!! And I swear every year it gets better and better! We did take a break from the boat last year for the big 30 and headed down to Mexico! That is where the pic above is from!! Eagles 95!! We do have some great pics of everyone that was on the trip, but I can't figure out how to change the photo!!! (Note: this is my first photo added to the blog!! I JUST figured out that is what that little picture icon was for!! I am so excited!! This just added a WHOLE new element to the blog!! As soon as I get the hang of it!!)Sorry, sorry, you know me... something shiny and I am completely off track!Back to July! This year we took the ole' party barge out for 8 hours instead of our usual 4 and it was TOTALLY worth it!! There was about 40 of us and that made for such a great day!!

Anyone there... anyone?

June!! Really!! Has it really been that long, since I last blogged!?!? That is just inexcusable!!
I promise I constantly think of stuff that would make great posts, so here is what I have just now decided as I am typing I will go month by month since July!! What do ya'll think?!? You with me!? I'll only know if you comment!! I know, I know how dare I ask for comments when I have given you NOTHING!! But, we have to start somewhere, right!! ;)
