My Life Motto

Life shouldn't be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather, to skid in broadside, cold beer in one hand, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly shouting, "Wow! What a ride!


I love this quote and have decided this is my motto in life! Heck with all that sappy, inspirational crap. This is definitely more fitting!

Sunday Adventure

Sunday afternoon we took a family adventure (as Madelyn calls them) to the Augusta lake.

 Watch out!! Crazy driver on the loose!

 Builidng a "home" for the fish when the lake finally fills back up.

 My turn for a ride... she thought it was hysterical to try to throw me off. Ha, little did she know if I was going down she was going with me.

 Daddy's turn

Season Finale

Today was Madelyn's last basketball game of the season. Can I get a Heck Yea?!?!?! We have long awaited this day as this has been a really tough season to get through. The team only won one game the entire season. It was painful!! However, the girls did improve as the season went on. Unfortunately the coaches were too soft spoken and had little control at practice, which was frustrating to watch.
On a more positive note, Madelyn improved immensely since last year, she scored every game except one and did great on defense. She's a scrappy thing. Being one of the tallest on her league also has its advantages.

The Sharp Reality team

Another trophy to add to her collection.

Now that basketball season is over we are all anxiously awaiting softball season to begin. As it means warmer weather and spending more time outside!! 

Number Six

I am currently training for my sixth 1/2 marathon. I have encouarged a friend/running partner to join me as she runs her first 1/2 marathon. My goal is to beat my last PR (personal record) which was straight up two hours. But most importantly I want to encourage my friend to cross the finish line. If she wants me to run with her to be encouragement all the way I will, if not I will work hard to beat my time.
