{363} golf ball

yup. i've done the golf ball thing before but they were just aligned, not written on. lol any idea that i can get right now i'll take! this has not been an easy last 63 days!!

{246} golf score

last friday evening, carrie and i had our florida rematch! we both started off pretty good (well, she started off with two pars! and had one helluva putt later on in the game!) but things quickly went down hill after that. c'est la vie. that's how we golf. :)

then today i ended up going golfing again with steve. of course, it was the coldest day ever. after seven holes we were completely frozen. i had wrapped a blanket around myself and was trying to stay warm but it was near impossible. so, after only nine holes, we totally called it a game and went and got coffee and pie instead. :)

i guess this was the last golf game (and name!) of the year.

{138} father's day

today's post comes courtesy of my dad! my mom made my name on mother's day so it was only fitting for my dad to make my name on father's day! can't wait to share the results of his hard work!

given my recent successes with golf (*wink! see day 136), my dad decided to create my name using golf balls! he even had to go to canadian tire to get another bag of golf balls just to do this--i'm so proud of him! AND, he came up with this idea himself--no help from my mom. i'm so super proud of him.

he is the greatest father ever. he is ALWAYS my number one fan. he is my number one supporter. he is my number one encourager. he always has the right advice for me (even if i don't always listen to it). he is my hero in every way that a daughter wishes her dad could be. i don't know how any other dads can live up to him. he has taught me right from wrong. he has taught me the value of family and faith. he's an incredible grandfather and still acts like he's a kid with them. he is always an example to his children and his family of how to handle situations with class, dignity and respect. he has earned crazy amounts of respect among people in this community (this daughter is super proud of him). he lets me make mistakes and then doesn't hold them against me. he tells the lamest jokes ever. he knows a lot of random stuff (like who invented the vaccination for smallpox). he kills all the spiders in the house that i scream about (he even shows up at 11:30pm to kill the big ones that gross me out too much). he takes me to all the blue bomber games i want. he helps me by taking care of george on days i cannot. he even says things like it is an honour being my father. he always tells me that he loves me. he is truly amazing. he is the best dad in the whole entire history of the world. no question. love love love him.

{136} golf tee

in just a few minutes i'm leaving to golf in the bethesda foundation golf tournament. i'm pretty stoked. it's actually my first golf game of the year! i'm not a very good golfer but i sure enjoy being outdoors and just playing the game. i find it so relaxing and enjoyable!

update: the tournament (not "tournmanet" as originally spelt) was totally awesome. i golfed with steve and the mix 96 team and had such a total blast. the weather was completely perfect and i even golfed okay. okay enough to win the ladies' longest drive award!! boo ya! ;) i liked that my one good drive happened on a hole that counted. :) it was a great day. i also loved that my dad was at the dinner afterwards and could brag to his friends that his daughter won that award. :)

for today's name, i simply took one of my golf tees and wrote my name on it. i tried to write it on the tip of the tee but that didn't quite work out. ;)
