It's been a couple weeks since I've updated my blog. Here are some of the highlights from the last few weeks.
Labor Day Weekend!
Hung out in Austin
Watched Baylor win the first football game of the season
Visited with a friend from OR
Hanging out with the Ecklund's
BJs tradition
LEAD retreat
and last but definitely not least...
Water Skiing!
Yes, that's right! I tried/learned how to water ski! It was a blast. I'm hooked. I love, love, love the water and am so excited to try it again!
One of the chaplains and his wife bought a boat and I tagged along on Labor Day. Megan video tapped a few of my attempts. The first time, I mostly got up. Second time, disaster. Third, got up for a bit, only I went to the right and Megan's camera went the other direction. This is my first attempt below.
Really, I cannot wait to try this again...I LOVED it and would LOVE to get good! The chaplain wake boarded and did all sorts of tricks...sign me up for that!
And here's my battle scar from skiing. ;) When I got back in the boat, I noticed my knee was stinging and when I looked down I notice I was bleeding. It just means I'm 'that' hardcore, ha.
Although lots of other things have been happening, I felt the need to catch up a little with my blogging. Last weekend Kristel came into Austin for our friend Britney's wedding. I'll post on that and other adventures later!
i am utterly terrified of water sports.
ReplyDeleteyour leg is the proof that my fear is completely rational.
lol at laceface!! i'm with her! :) more videos to follow?
ReplyDeleteLooks like you got a pretty good start... where is the video that shows complete success?? :) I learned to water ski last summer... well, actually, I got up for the first time last summer... I would say I actually learned and could get up easily this past summer. It's really fun! Gosh Shannon, we should be friends and live in the same place. We have a lot of things in common. :)
