Expect Greatness: golf

This Weekend...

In between homework and headaches (what is up with those???), I actually left the house a couple times!

Wednesday started Bill's member-guest tournament, so Bobby stayed with us Wednesday-Sunday. It's kinda weird, when Bobby's here it's just like normal. Like he's just always here and nothing is different. And he only comes for those few days every year!

Anyway, the guys kept busy with golf and night functions, but I no longer have the energy to go out on a school night.

Friday, Christa, Wes and Braylee stopped by on their way to Florida. We went to dinner, but I didn't get any pics.

Saturday we had the awards banquet for the tournament. The guys got 1st in their flight and 2nd overall in the playoff. The team that beat them did so with a "once in a lifetime" putt, so Bill was totally ok with it.

After dinner, we went to the proshop to spend the credit they won. Bobby got a new golf wardrobe, Bill bought me a sweet new pair of sunglasses - they were MUCH needed. I'm sure he'll spend the rest on golf balls (as needed!).

Sunday we had a food shower for Fawn and Jude and Aunt Corma's. Liam should be arriving any day now, so we wanted to make sure Seamus had dinner ready while his parents juggled having a new baby:)

Me and Baby H, ready to go

She got a couple relaxing gifts, too:)

Seamus, of course, stole the show, but Angel is well on her way to giving him a run for his money:)

So today it was back to a CRAZY busy day at work and night class. Here's hoping I sleep better tonight that last night!

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.
