Playing a little Catch-up in Midst of Much

It has been ages since I last blogged and I have missed being here, but sometimes there is so much life it leaves no time to blog about it!

Here are the big events in order that they pop into my head.

The March of Dimes Walk:  So much fun!  My pal Elizabeth and I who rank pretty low on the athletic scale got up to do a little marching for babies.  Of course our version was a little more akin to "strolling for babies" but we had a blast and aside from being scolded by Jack Roper for not dancing vigorously enough we managed to stay out of trouble.

The Calvary Baptist Youth Golf Tournament 2010:  All of the Calvary golfers were out in full form for our 2nd annual golf tournament.  Beth and I were on our game as the official photography team.  There actually isn't anything official about us except we really like riding around on a golf cart with cameras.
Nana has been teaching me to play golf and in another 2 weeks I will have my own set of ladies left-handed clubs!  I can't wait! 
Hopefully next year I will be playing in the tournament myselfm which will be pretty much awesome!  I just have to convince Beth that she should play with me.  That may be harder than learning to hit my irons of the fairway without a tee. :(

I cut my hair!  So I realize that this isn't a huge event but come on, it was getting really long.  Here is the deal, if you love me and decide I ever need to be in your wedding, you can love me with short hair.  I will no longer be growing out my locks for someone else's nuptials ever again.  Thank you and God bless...um and as Sherrie is pretty much the only one left to get married in my life, and she feels the same way about her hair as I do right now, I figure this is a pretty safe statement to make :)

Relay for Life 2010:  Anyone who has ever been touched by cancer in anyway needs to have the experience of being touched by the Relay family.  That really is all you can say about it.  People who haven't been touched by it don't get it, but it is one of the most incredible things.  All of these friends and strangers working together to raise money to beat something that has taken so much away from us is empowering.  The night itself is fun andfull of laughter and a few tears.  Who can't tear up watching a little girl who just finished her first rounds of chemo walking around a track surrounded by her teachers and classmates with the biggest smile in the world on her face, or walking around a track holding hands with your oldest friend and seeing your mother's luminary flickering on the side of the track?  Of course all of that mixed with the electric slide and chasing people down to stop them from giving money to the people with the Clemson flag so that you can give it to those with the carolina flag makes for something so special that words are not made for.

At the bank this year I made bracelets to raise money and the response was tremendous!  I couldn't keep up with the demand and I am ready for next year to see if we cantop ourselves.  Of course I can't wait until we are finished and have to find a new reason to Relay!

Mr. and Mrs Dweil get hitched!  My cousin Tracy married a great fella name Mike and it was a gorgeous wedding!  Not to mention that the Burnett family got down.  I mean who knew we all could dance?  Correction:  Who knew we all like to try to dance? (whether we actually can or not is still up for great debate.)  In any event it was a fun reception and I am very happy for the cousin and cousin in law!

Lucy and Jess's Excellent Adventure: In order to get a wedding present for the Dweil's, Lucy and I took off for Saludato find something fun and special, and ended up taking a trip through the mountains and spending so great time together!  We landed in Flat Rock and had a fabulous pizza before heading home.  Great times!

Then there are all the little moments that truly are my favorites.  The ones that have no real reason except that all the right people where together.  Cinco de Mayo with Donna, Paul, Cynthia and Robin, breakfast at Fatz with Nikki, buying a new car battery, a ladies luncheoun at church, a really pretty one of a kind gerber daisy tree and always knowing that Mary is a phone call away to make sense of it all.
