Club Benders 2009

Every year Bill plays in the Club Benders Golf Tournament with Blake, his BFF from high school. It's always a lot of fun - practically everyone he grew up with comes out to play or to watch. This year was a little different, though. First, I couldn't go meet him until Friday night. I usually make it up by Thursday. Secondly, the tournament's last day of play was cancelled. We had terrible rain almost nonstop the entire weekend. It was still raining when we left this morning! The club did a great job compensating. They had all of the social events, and they used the scores they had to determine the winners. They also doubled Friday's day money payouts to count for Saturday (or something like that - I don't understand the details, lol).

Anyway, Bill and Blake did an awesome job! Bill qualified for the Shootout, which I missed :( He told me never again can I miss, he plays better when I'm there. They also ended up placing third in the Championship Flight for the second year in a row. We had a great time, as always, and are looking forward to next year.

On a side note, Saturday's rain allowed for some wedding planning. Vicki, Amanda, Sheritan and I took Christa to put a depositon she and Josh's reception hall. It's a beautiful building! We also made a quick trip to do some wedding and bridesmaids dress shopping. We do have one of each picked, but I wanted her to sleep on it. It was a lot of fun to get started and I'm super excited about our bridesmaids dresses. Everything is going to be so beautiful! Please pray for them as they get ready to commit themselves to each other. Marriage is a wonderful but complicated relationship. We wish them the best and can't wait for Josh to an official part of the family.
