This was a monumental weekend, simply because for the first time in my entire life I went both in AND out of the wake on my wakeboard without face-planting. The reason could be perhaps due to the fact that we were not in K's wakeboarding boat, which throws out a wake the size of a small mountain. Regardless, this is a task I've been striving to accomplish for about 2 years now, and I was so proud to have achieved victory out on the lake.
Even more importantly, the weekend was spent with my dear friend Erin and her husband Matt at Ridley and Shirley's lakehouse in Mt. Vernon. This girl is my guardian angel, a true friend who I deeply admire. We've shared much of our hearts and lives with one another, and I cherish her and so appreciate the encouragement and love she has provided over the years. On top of that, Ridley and Shirley were the most amazing and generous hosts, true servants who opened their home to us with such genuine care and attentiveness to providing comfort during our stay.
How refreshing and relaxing it was to be surrounded by great people in a great and beautiful location. Thank you Erin, Matt, Ridley and Shirley for a wonderful weekend of respite!!
