Sweet weekend

The next couple of weekends I expect to be freaking sweet. This weekend, we went boating and I got to play with my new wakeboard for real. We'd gone a little earlier to test drive a new boat and I was afraid I was going to hurt myself that time. The water was rough and really cold, it was a new board, new boat, different driver and we were going way faster than I'm used to going. So I played it a little more conservative.

Last night, though, I felt a little more at ease because it was a boat I'm used to, a driver I'm used to, the water wasn't as rough or cold, and we were going a good speed. So I got to play with the new board and I really like it. It felt much easier to control than the one I've been using. And I nailed a move I'd been working on at the end of last season.

Also, this weekend, we're going to do some playing outside and some container gardening.

Next weekend though, Memorial Day weekend, my cousins are coming here to play. I don't know if they've spent enough time in Salt Lake to see some of the fun things around. I mean, they've come up for my wedding, but they weren't here for very long. And on top of that, I got tickets for everyone to see the new Indiana Jones movie together. It'll be fun to do that together, even if my worst George Lucas related fears come true and the movie makes an unexpected, highly sucky twist in the Indiana Jones universe. You know, something along the order of JarJar Binks and midi-chlorians and just about anything else related to the prequels.

The weekend after that, I'm going on a date to a matinee performance of the ballet, and a couple of weekends after that, I get to meet my little boy. I'm really excited for that. Words don't do justice to my excitement. It's time to go do something fun. I'm off and running!
