Weekend Review: July 4th Weekend

This past weekend was jam-packed with excitement. Allow me to reminisce...

Friday - Left work a little before 5pm & got home to meet Mel. She & Ethan went to a friends house to swim! After their good time, we went to Stone Creek to eat dinner. This place is a fav of ours & while we dont eat there often, each time we do -- we always say, "We need to eat there more often!" Everything is great & for those of you who were in attendance at our rehearsal dinner -- same place! We got home around 11-ish & hit the hay.

Saturday - We got up & I met Lindsey's fiance, Bryan at Hickory Stick Golf Course here in Greenwood. We started off the first seven or so holes without a glitch. While I wasnt hitting well, I thought -- Just to be out playing is awesome. Then it started to sprinkle on & off for a couple holes. We hit the turn, grabbed a quick coney dog & some beer then headed for the back nine. We got through the first hole on the back nine before the rain became a steady shower. From then on out -- it was raining. We probably should've just threw in the towel, but we stuck it out! It was good times.... he got the best of me. He shot a 90 & I shot a 96. Pretty good for my second outing of the year. After we finished we met up with the ladies & E for lunch then we headed home.
Shortly thereafter, we headed up to G's place for a cookout, indoor cornhole, some beersbee, & good times. We hung out there for a few hours & once our good friends Chris & Steph arrived (they had just got back to town from a cruise where Cobber PROPOSED!!!! Those two crazy kids are now engaged....CONGRATS!!!) we then headed to G's Uncle Joe's place to take in some more good times & fireworks. Thanks Uncle Joe for the hospitality! E fell asleep & while he did his best to sleep through some military-grade fireworks from the neighbors, we headed for home.

Sunday - We woke up & it was kinda a lazy day for the first half. E & I laid on the couch to watch the marathon Federer/Roddick tennis match. After that ended we headed up to see Mel's uncles new place (which by the way is breathtaking) We spent the day on the lake & touring the new place. We putted over to Puccini's for a great dinner then headed back to Kevin's lot. Yet another drive back home from the north side. Another day well-spent!

This weekend really made me realize what great friends & family we have. We are ever so thankful for the wonderful people in our lives. Its never a dull moment & its always special to get together whenever possible. You guys are all great!

Now back to reality -- the work week is upon us.
