Many of you might not know my new hobby - GOLFING! I've wanted to learn for years and lucky for me I married someone who likes it! Adam bought me a set of golf clubs for my birthday, and although it was just this last weekend, he couldn't stand it and gave them to me back in April. Since then we've gone out several times to the driving range and did 9 holes a few weeks back with my grandparents which was a blast!Well this weekend, we traveled to central Oregon to see my parents and took the clubs along. Saturday morning we went to a putting course with my mom and dad. The course is fun its like mini-golf but with real grass, hills, sand, water hazards etc. Its a great place to practice putting! Well I did awful. Later that day Adam and I headed to another course to practice hitting at the driving range. As our balls dwindled down Adam suggested I try aiming for a flag about 70 yards out. So with my last handful of balls that's what I did. Rather than trying to whack the heck out of the ball, I had to lay back and try to figure out how hard to hit it. Most of the balls were not even close but as I got to the last few I got closer and closer and then with the last ball I made it in the hole! We saw and heard the ball hit the flag pole and then drop down into the hole. It was awesome! I just stood there and laughed and Adam was in shock. I know it wasn't a hole-in-one on a real course, but still it was awesome!
This is the cute set Adam bought me! Its blue and purple with flowers on it. Adam's been a great teacher - very patient with me and doesn't make too much fun of me when I stink!
I am so excited I'm an Aunt! Little Brycen was born on Monday, May 19th in Arizona- sadly we aren't there to welcome him but we send bunches of love and plan to visit him real soon! I wish I had some pictures to share, but the only ones we have are on Adam's phone and he's is California. But he's pretty much the cutest thing I've ever seen! Now I can't wait for my first Niece to arrive in a couple months!
I know its a few days late, but I just wanted to say a little bit about my (our) moms. How grateful I am for both of them. My mom is great - shes supported me in everything I have ever wanted to do. She's been a great example in so many ways. One of the greatest thing I have learned from her is that you have to find time do things that are important to you- to take time for yourself. From her example I've learned that the best way to be happy in your relationships with others, is to be happy yourself.
I've just become a part of Adam's family, but how grateful I am for his wonderful mom as well. I am so thankful for her for raising Adam and helping turn him into the wonderful man he is. I know it must have been a lot of hard work to make him what he is! Additionally, I can't imagine a better mother-in-law (and entire family I might add). I felt immediately welcomed into the family and right at home with them from the moment Adam and I were engaged.
I am so lucky to have two great moms and am so excited for the many more years we have to further grow our relationships. I LOVE YOU MOM!
