Woozers.. what a great day, huh? I mean what is not great about it... ? My weekend.. and 4th of July could not have been better.. I did get to go up north to my GF's mom's cottage in Hougton Lake and well needless to say.. A BLAST! I did end up driven up myself on early Saturday morning which worked out quite nice if I do say so myself... especially for as much as I had to worry about it!
Left here at around 9ish.. but did have to stop for gas.. and some coolant.. then I was on my way.. and well since it being my second time heading up here I felt confident in finding the cottage.. that and well.. you really only had to stay on one road the whole way! So I was off... totally excited to see my GF.. and after about two and a half hours give or take a few minutes because of my "sense" of directions and I arrived but of course upon arrival it appeared as no one was at the cottage.. and so with my sixth sense I decided to walk down to the lake and just kinda sit around or whatever until my GF called cuz by this time I had already left two messages for her! :) So anyway to my surprise I got to the lake and hadn't stood there for more than twenty seconds before my GF popped up from a anchored pontoon boat in a bathing suit.. and lets just say I was "pleasantly" surprised to say the least.. so she waded in... and with a quick trip to my car.. a switch-a-roo.. and an interesting "bathroom" break.. I was wading back to the pontoon boat with Em on my arm.. perfect! The rest of the day consisted of sunbathing, which I am still feeling the aftermath of..., fellowship.. lunch... dinner.. and then on the boat for the sunset and the fireworks to follow.. if you can call them that! :) Well with the fireworks as they were we heading in kind of early so we could dock our boat only to see that someone had already got our spot! What an outrage! So then I had an interesting experience in trying to drive/park a pontoon boat.. quite different from anything with wheels I might add! But with me and my GF working together no problem.. one hurdle down and only one more unknown one at this point! By the time all of this had ocurred it was about 11 o'clock at night.. and it was about this point that my wonderful girlfriend discovered/remembered that she did not have her keys with her.. and her car happen to be our only transportation from the marina back to the cottage! This obstacle was overcome as well with a simple call to her aunt Sandy and uncle Don who happen to drive a really nice and smooth riding caddy! But once to the cottage there was no relaxing yet cuz I needed to take Em back to get her car.. but I would not have changed a moment of it because it was all soooo much fun!
Next morning, which would be Sunday... started off with sleeping in cuz basically the sun had exhausted us.. French toast... a quick trip to the oh so familar craft show.. and Glens.. and then it was off to get the pontoon boat, however not without an interuption from a Border Patrolman cuz of a misunderstanding at the border with someone who had ties to my GF.. well after that was resolved we went to the marina to meet uncle Chuckie and aunt Margie, obviously different from the relatives that bailed us out the day before.. So we were off the pontoon.. only for a quick half an hour or so before we needed to come back in to pick up Jamey who had decided afterall to join us.. and then we were back at it.. eating lunch.. lounging in the boat.. soaking up the sun.. with the occasional dip in the murky and spotted lake! Avoiding seaweed beds at all costs because I had already had enough run ins with the weeds the day before.. lol.. The day ended relatively early when we retired from the lake about dinner time.. and then it was off to make some dinner.. and then I got to start a fire.. which I am starting to get pretty dang good at! :) But before starting the fire I had to take a quick trip to Walmart cuz I was in dire need of some aloe if you know what I am saying.. But anyway back to the fire over which we roasted some marshmallows for smores.. which were really good.. but the fire also cuz my sun burn to act up on my feet and my presence at the campfire was short lived.. so I could retire to the couch trying to cool my feet in any way possible! :) Finally off to bed...
Slept in and surprise it was the FOURTH OF JULY! Unfortunately it was a rainy cloudy overcast fourth?! So the day consisted of going to a craft store.. eating a "ploom" of chicken tenders and planning a card game, in which my cardshark of a girlfriend won hands down... which by the way only made her that much attractive... :) Then before we knew it we walked down to see the lake... and then we were off to meet all of the aunts and uncles for a cookout.. which was a lot of fun.. took lots of pics.. and then went back and took a bike ride before settling down for the night! Then of course this morning was an early one.. I set my internal clock a little to early when I woke up at 7:00 and really did need to get up until at least 7:30ish! But oh well.. I was up and about and ready.. ate some breakfast.. said my goodbyes.. and trailed Jamey by about fifteen minutes.. I arrived in Jackson only moments before changing and entering the o'so familar Registrar's office.. for a half a day of work.. I have no pics on the computer or at all right now but will try and post some cute ones when the resources allow it!
JULY 5!!!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY LITTLE SIS!!! :)
