Summer Weekends

What a great weekend! Friday Eric subbed on a softball team, so the faithful wife went along to watch. It was a fun game, even if they did lose. Saturday I got to go to Lima to see a college friend and spent most of the day with her. I hadn't seen Rachael in a long time, and it was good to catch up! Saturday evening we had friends over to play sand volleyball.
Sunday. Wow, I'm sleepy after Sunday. :) After church, we headed up to some friends' lake for a church small group get-together. It was a full afternoon of boating, skiing, tubing, water volleyball, and getting baked in the sun. We got home a little before 10. We had such a blast getting to know some people better and making memories with all our friends. I think the funniest thing I've witnessed in a long time is Lydia Sattler playing volleyball in waders! Hilarious. :)
Makes it kind of hard to want to go to work on Monday.......

They Finally Got Hitched!

My sister Julie got married last Friday. It was a beautiful wedding, in the perfect location. We flew out to San Diego on Wednesday. After inheriting the nickname Smoky, Megan getting the nickname Crash, and several other mishaps, the wedding went smoothly. The singing went smoothly even though the mikes didn't really do much, and I think most couldn't hear very well.
Eric golfed very well. I'm really glad he got to go on that outing. He says the next time we go out, he and Mike will go to two different courses a day. Which is fine with me if Julie and I get to shop while they are golfing! :)

Saturday we got to spend relaxing on the beach. My parents had gotten a hotel room with a balcony overlooking the ocean. It was absolutely breathtaking! We spent most of Saturday in the ocean or laying on the beach. Saturday evening we walked to a Padres game (which is only 13 blocks from Julie's place). Eric and I had a lot of fun at that! We walked back home from downtown eating ice cream from Ghirardelli's.
I would go back in a heartbeat. I have many more stories to tell about homeless people, flights, and other things, so if you're curious, feel free to ask! :)
