Golf Lesson

Believe it or not, Friday was my very first golf lesson. I grew up not liking golf, and with the opinion that it was a terrible sport, I would NEVER play! Then in came Jason. I enjoyed being his caddy last year, and then he proposed at the club. That part I thought about NEVER, well as of Friday that is not true. Jason and I are members of a club here in town (my membership came with the marriage) and if I am going to be a member, I should use it.
To my surprise, I loved it. I had a lesson with the pro, and I have plans to meet with him every Friday after lunch for the next month. He asked me what I knew about golf and I told him," I know this is a club, but I don't know how to hold it, swing it, or tee a ball, but I do know the goal is to get the ball in the hole that is a long way away.
We spent the fisrt lesson working grip, stance and swing. He actually let me hit a few balls and I hit them about 50 yrds. I was happy. After the lesson Jason and I walked 4 holes. He hit of the tee and then I would walk to his ball, tee one up for my self and the we would both hit to the green. I was really great. I never thought I would say that, but I am gld I have given it a chance.
Tonight I was bringing my bag in from the car and it was really weird. I was carring MY CLUBS. Wow I never thought I would do that. I am now a begining golfer. Look out LPGA I am on my way.

Chattanooga

This past weekend we were able to visit with Jason's dad (David) and Dinah. They are missionaries in the Bahamas, so we don't get to see them very often. They were up visiting a supporting church in Chattanooga, so we were able to spend the weekend with them.

Jason and his dad love to play golf together. They had a tee time for Saturday afternoon, but they both woke up hours before the girls did, so what do they do? Headed to the range to hit balls. After an hour or so on the range they came back and brought Dinah and I coffee. Aww I love my morning coffee.

With the guys off to the course and Dinah and I went to the mall. This was my first time to spend time with Dinah and I had a wonderful time. We had coffee and enjoyed good conversation. She also spoiled me!!

Dinah took me shopping and I bought me a new outfit. =) I got new shoes and two purses as well. It was a wonderful treat. I helped Dinah make an Easter basket for a friend of hers, and we enjoyed lunch before heading back.

The guys had a great day of Golf and then we went to Sticky Fingers for some great ribs. If you haven't been there, you should try it. The weather was so good we were able to sit on the porch.
If only the time could last. It is now back to the grind, but the time was so precious. Thank you David and Dinah. We love you.

Wed Pic

Here are a few of our pictures, just thought I would share.

Symphony

Last year a few weeks after Jason and I started dating, he gave me season tickets to the new Schermerhorn Symphony Center for my birthday. Last night was Bach and it was wonderful. We have been to 5 performances and each one has been great, but over all, last night was the most enjoyable. Nashville opened the Schermerhorn in September of last year an it is beautiful. I really don't have any good pictures, but this is the front.
We have both enjoyed the season so much, that we upgraded our seats for next year. We have good seats this year, we just hated to spend the money on great seats if it was something we wouldn't be interested in. Well, we love it. I tried to take a picture of us last night, but I waited until the symphony was over and it is about 11:00 pm. Jason, as you know gets up at 5am, so this was WAY past our bedtime.
Next month is Mozart, and I can't wait!! I will let you know how it is.

New Addition

Saturday we got a new addition to our family. A NEW DRYER!! I moved in December 15th and the marriage has been a wonderful blessing. There has been some learning and adjusting, like two people's laundry and not just one. Well the dryer just didn't like the change. It was taking 2 1/2 - 3 hours to do one load of laundry. That means you never catch up. Finally this weekend it decided to quit, so off the the store to replace it. We bought one from LOWES and the first load took less than an hour start to finish. I am so excited. I am looking forward to doing laundry now. YAH!!! Its laundry time.

Big Sky

Big Sky Montana - 2007
We got married in December and Jason talked me into waiting until February to go on our honeymoon. I was not thrilled about the idea, but WOW it was the best decision. We were able to spend the first two months getting settled and looked forward to a nice vacation.

We went to Big Sky Montana for my first ski trip out west. I had ski in the east, but Wow! it is amazing out there. We had fresh powder 3-12 inches every day. Jason was wonderful. He surprised me with a night at the spa on Friday night and bought me a great pair of powder skis.

We had a wonderful time. It was nice to come home, but we can't wait to make it a yearly trip if not a few times a year.
