Hope you had a wonderful Christmas, Candice!! You're welcome for the mani/pedi. It was a fun day. Thanks for spending time with me!!

I think you're probably getting to Honolulu as I'm writing this. Enjoy your month off. You deserve it!

Busy is a good thing!! You need to let me know what you've been doing. Hopefully some exciting stuff.

XOXOX YoMomma

Well, guess who just joined our golf club??

Might have to get out there and try it again to see if I remember how to swing a club.

I've been missing you. Hope life is good!

Yeah, if it's not skating, it's hard to get him to even give it a shot.

Glad you had fun in the desert. Wish I could have gone, but maybe next year again. :)

You got it. I'll tell her.

I love that you yearn to learn. Good for you!!

No, he didn't tell me.

So glad you're going. I'm sure it will be a blast.

We did a couple of memberships through the nearly 20 years we've lived in B.C. Think they probably only added up to about nine months.

Once I got carpal tunnel, when the club makes contact with the ball, it really hurt my hands. If I'd ever quit work and give my hands the rest they need, I think it would be just fine.

I'm an ex-softball player, so while I can hit the snot out of the ball, there's no guarantee whether it will end up in right or left field, :)

Oh, and I have zero short game, too.

Back when Chase was a twinkle in our eye, we went to the Lawrence Welk Golf Resort for the weekend and had an absolute blast. Alton had just gotten me a fairway wood that I loved called "The Baffler."

I kept hitting it so great, but when I'd pull another club, I'd SUCK!!

So we get to this par three that's quite a distance, and I drove it to the green.

I wasn't taking any chances by pulling out my putter, so I two putted it in with "The Baffler" -- PAR!!!

We've been laughing about it ever since. :)

Work is good. Super busy month this month.
Megan is doing well. She has one 200 qualifier to pass. She is struggling with her accuracy right now. Gets a stroke for everything, though. No, she doesn't have a page. She's so busy with school she doesn't want to take the time right now. Also, she just got engaged, so that's going to take time, planning a wedding.

Thanks. We had no current pics of just us two so went outside and took one. Not the best, but it will do.

How are you doing? How is work going?

Oh, yes, Cade did tell me about the ride in the bug with the top down. :)

Clay doesn't have to permit anything. He has no say around here until he starts paying rent. HA!

So I hear you crashed our pad and we were gone for the night??

No fair!!

We had such an awesome time!!

Did they tell you the wedding was at the same place we were married?? I felt like Cinderella all over again. :)

Thank you, Candice!!

How are you doing? Have you been busy??

Clay said he went to visit you last week after one of his big days in L.A. Made me happy!

You know you're our only mermaid!!!

Oh, so you-know-who told on me. :)

I've just been missing you. . .

Yep, I did my blower job this afternoon. It's looking pretty good out there -- and they never let me get near the weed whacker either (Chase did that today), although I did mow the whole yard for lots of years -- even nine months prego!

I'm sure I already told you that. It's one of my favorites.

I'm not breaking down and getting a Blackberry. I don't even like having a cellphone. :)

I hope you've been happy, healthy, and just your usual sweet Candice!!

So you don't love me any more or what?? :)

How is SFRAN??

(I hear you're coming back soon.)

I just noticed your profile info. How sweeet is that!!!

Thank you so much!!

I love you, too, Candice!!!

I didn't hear about the "cool trails." Hopefully I will this weekend.

He'll probably be wiped out after this week, though!

27 years. Probably the same as your mom and dad, right??

We got a tandem Thai massage at this super cool Thai place. I honestly felt I had escaped to Thailand for a while. Think we might do it again on Friday for an "after-anniversary" party. :)

The shoulder is feeling better today. I actually was able to blow dry my hair and style it. I hadn't done that for two weeks! It's been me and my baseball caps, which you know I like, but every day??

Anyway, I've made good progress in two weeks. Now I can at least stretch my elbow out completely straight ahead of my body. Big difference from having it clenched next to my chest and body in a don't-touch-it position.

It felt good to look presentable today. I'm trying to hide all the balls in the house, so I'm not tempted to want to throw 'em. HA!

So did you have fun this week with your "surprise"??

That boy is so smooth!! I don't think he has a nerve in his body. :)

Your mom will have to be 200.
