A Pig Just Flew Past my Window...

Say what you want...the devil just hit me with a snowball, a monkey just crawled out of my nose, etc., etc., but anyway you say it, it happened. After 8 years many, many promises, and lots of guilt trips my husband finally.........(wait for it)........TOOK ME SAILING!!!!!! Yes you read that right he finally bit the bullet and took me out on a boat with sails that is wind powered!! And it all happened on our 7 year anniversary too. How Romantic eh?

Now, I wasn't completely convinced it would happen (especially since what should have taken 5 minutes to get the boat in the water took 30 due to issue after issue, and and almost broken boat piece) so I wasn't fully prepared with a camera and a notary to document the occasion but I imagine we looked somewhat like the happy people on this boat, if you added a cute 5 year old and a very attractive 18 yr old girl (yup my sis Janelle) as extra passengers. We had a blast!!!

Lil Man especially loved it. We dropped him off the back of the boat with a rope and let him body ski. We were actually going pretty fast but Lil Man rocked it out and only let go once when it got too "splashy". So instead of having him hold the ropes we rigged up a system to an extra life jacket that was on the boat (don't worry moms out there he had his regular one on so he was safe and sound the whole time!) and let him hold onto that. He was born to be in the water that is for sure!

Yeah for us! Yeah for Daddy! Here's to the next eight years before our next adventurous voyage!! Just kidding Daddy!!! (kind of..........)

  1. Still am in shock that you FinAllY got your sail boat ride! When are we going to watch Coulter so that you guys can finish celebrating your anniversary by going out to dinner?

  3. Where did you go sailing? That sounds like so much fun. Maybe it will be sooner than eight years, seeing as how we live by a lake :)!
