busy busy busy

Seems like we are so darn busy these days that i never have time to write and update everyone. Last week was a blur like most weeks as we have school started now, volleyball started for both Nina and I, my professional society meetings started up again for the 08/09 session and of course other work activities.

Last Sat night, the family went to Hamilton, MO for a work picnic at my coworker's Dale's place. It was really a good time as Dale has horseshoes, fishing, wagon rides, a pond with a paddle boat and other activities for everyone to enjoy. We had a really good time.

Nina started volleyball last week too. She is playing with her classmates. Her coaches are Jenna's parents so they will have a fun season. Games are Friday nights for the next 6 weeks. Can't wait to see how they do. I started volleyball too last week. We have a work league that plays Wed nights. We won 2 of 3 last week. Not too bad for a bunch of thirtysomething out of shape girls.

Last Friday, I did something that i never thought i would do. I played golf. Well, I'm not sure you can actually call it playing golf. More like a weak attempt at playing. We had our annual HNTB golf tourney. So four of us girls who don't play (Rachel, Lideana, Gretchen & I) decided that we wanted to partake in the fun so we signed up. Rachel was the only one who had played before and that was just one time. So the four of us looked at this as a social event with some beers and a little golf in between. :) Since you could only bogey a hole, we came in at 14 over. We had 4 actual pars, not too bad. ha ha I do have a new respect for those who play now. I was exhausted when we were done. That's a lot of work to go out there and play 18 holes.
