Pukin' & Stitches~ Eventful weekend in Grand Haven

The title says it all!

     Another eventful weekend, Ben walked 24 hours for the Relay for Life at Tyden Park Friday - Saturday. The heat was awful, needless to say he spend most of Saturday afternoon sleeping.  Here are a few photo's from the event.

Ben not really enjoying the heat all that much.

~Sunday ~
 Fishing on the Big Lake ~ Ben and I were very excited about getting the chance to go out salmon fishing, neither one of us had ever been. This time we were going out on Steve's fishing boat. (Chad's Dad)  Like normal I took the Dramamine to help with the motion sickness. In our past trips out on the lake I have learned that this is a must for me.  Ben on the other hand, well he has never gotten sick.... until this trip :) 
No. I wasn't laughing when I typed that either.

After Ben and Jeremy both getting sick and myself thinking I was nearly in the same boat as them.  I soon recovered and I was good to go!

Them on the other hand was a different story.

Enjoying the ride... and then!  (Really only 5 minutes after this photo was taken)

The UGLY Gash in the top of my foot!

Shots in the top of my Foot. NO GOOD!

Then 6 stitches later.

Well what else is there to say besides, maybe I should have just gotten sick to in order to avoid the trip to the Grand Haven ER. I will say they were really nice and got us in and out rather quick.

Thanks!

~Summer time~

This summer has been a Blast! We have spent quite a bit of time out on the water with friends that have Boats. Ben of course is pondering the idea of owning a boat?!?! Me on the other hand I'm just enjoying the time on the Water.

So the Coolest part is... Drumb roll please~ I got to Wake Board! Talk about toataly Awesome. I have yet to get hurt so fingers crossed. It was tons of fun!

Reflections

So it has been a while since I have blogged... Life has been really busy I'm sure your well aware of, if we are friends on Facebook. So life has went on since my last post. I am Still Alive!

This past weekend while chatting with friends one spoke of my blog, I casually mentioned that I hadn't really kept up on it however I really enjoyed the idea of having one. It's kind of interesting how Facebook, Blogs, and Social networking sites have become a part of our life and how we enjoy browsing them sometimes almost daily. I find it very interesting that someone - anyone would want to read about my life?!?! But who knew.

I have come to the conclusion: I will get back into it and Blog once again. So I'm Back! With the plan of posting highlights of what is going on my my Busy Life.

So enjoy as we move forward in blogging once again~
