Time to Catch Up...

Well since I have last posted we have been very very busy! We had some events with the Royal Rangers that had us tied up. We sponsored a "One Club" golf tournament and then that same afternoon we had a Fishing day at Farmington lake. Both events went great, we had good turn outs and I think everyone had fun! On Sunday June 8th, Chuck and I left for our one year anniversary... Its hard to believe it has been one year already. We left early early in the morning and took the boat down to Lake Powell. We got out on the water and did some fishing. I caught the first fish in about an hour. A small bass that we decided not too keep. Chuck caught one awhile later and that was it for the catching! The weather was beautiful. There was lots of debris in the lake with the water level rising each day. We decided to call it a day about 3 in the afternoon since we weren't catching anything. Then the fun began.....

We pulled up to the dock and Chuck told me to hold on to the dock cleat so we didn't bang the side of the boat. So I did... I'm holding the cleat. Well then the boat starts drifting away from the dock and I'm still holding on. And it keeps drifting. Chuck tells me to just let go but I didn't. I'm still holding on and the boat is still drifting away. Well I finally let go of the cleat but by that time it was too late. Chuck tried to pull me back into the boat but I just did a flip right off the side of the boat right into the water. Thank God I still had my life jacket on and there were no other boats tied up to the dock. Chuck couldn't get me back into the boat and I couldn't climb up onto the dock, so I had to swim my happy little butt down the whole dock and get out and walk back down the dock to the boat. Needless to say...... It sucked! I ended up with a horrible bruise that went all the way down my arm. It looked really gross. We had a quiet night from then on.

The next morning we got on the water ready to fish! There were lots of people on the lake, skiers, tubers, cruisers and boats with huge wakes! I'm not used to being on the lake with such big wakes and I was quite scared! We fished around Halls and didn't catch anything at all. Not even a bite! We tried up in Moki Canyon. It was beautiful up in the canyon for sure and Chuck got a couple of bites but never landed anything. So fishing was a bust! We called it a day and went back to the trailer. We headed for home the next morning and were excited to share our anniversary gifts to each other. I got Chuck a large print of the picture he had up in Time Square and the week before he picked out a new guitar he wanted. Chuck got me a beautiful diamond necklace.... I love it! Over all it was a wonderful anniversary and I am so very blessed to be married to this man.

The next weekend we went to a friend's wedding. It was in Hesperus Colorado and it was such a pretty setting. Mountains in the background, a cool breeze blowing, beautiful sunflowers and friends all around. We took my family to get ice cream afterwards in Durango, a sweet ending to a sweet day. So you are almost caught up now..... How's things in your world?
