Happy Memorial Day at Lake Pleasant!

Last night, I went and had a wonderful Sunday Dinner over at my step-sister and step-brother-in-laws house. (I'm not sure if that's how you would say it, but I don't know any better way to put it at the moment. Maybe, some good friends of mine? That's a bit more simple.) That turned out to be a lot of fun. Plus, it was the first time I saw their house, which is gorgeous. There was talk about possibly going to the lake the next day (today) on my other step-sister and step-brother-in-laws (good friends, again. hehe.) boat. I was excited and hoped that we really would.



Well, today has been a great day as I spent all day in a boat on the lake under the sun. B-E-A-UTIFUL! I actually got to wake board for my first time today too. I love it. I am a little addicted now though. I now want to go every weekend and spend the entire time on the lake learning tricks on a wakeboard. I had been water skiing before, but I was young and I hurt myself. But, wakeboarding was a great experience and I loved every minute of it. Although, i don't think my family knows what they got me into. I am hooked! :o)



At first, I wasn't going to try it. I was nervous. I remembered what happened when I tried water skiing when I was younger. Not pretty! Then, after I watched my family go and then Dustin. I had to at least try it. When Dustin went he wasn't able to get up even though he had done it before. I felt bad because I know his calf was still killing him from the other day when he skateboarded nine miles. So trying to wakeboard wasn't the best idea for him at the moment. He did almost get up though! Next time he will for sure. I will make sure we don't do any extravagent exercising before our next visit to the lake.



Being that I am natually a competitive person and that it was my turn to go right after Dustin, I knew I wouldn't stop trying until I got up. Wouldn't you know it, on my forth try I got all the way up! Before I quit I had to also show off with some sort of trick, so I even held on the the rope one handed. Ha! It was a great time and I am very thankful that I had the chance to go out with them and there two kids (who are two of the cutest kids I have ever seen). It definately keeps Dustin and I thinking about a family sometime in the near future! Hopefully we will get many chances this summer to go out with them again. We will see though!
