Golf....and other Life Lessons

Recently I have taken up golf..mostly because my kids have become interested and my husband who has always played loves taking them out to play. So I figured what the heck...this might be fun. Well it was the first couple of times at the driving range, the kids and husband took me out and they were all shocked at how well, and how far I could hit the ball. Well that did not last long!!!! My boys took lessons at the local course and then I decided to take class the next week.




I am not sure how or why getting that little ball into the hole can be so frustrating??? Well apparently as Cappy the golf pro says "golf is a game with too much information!" yes, it is! you have to be springy in the knees, hinge at the hips, keep your hands in the proper grip in a V shape, keep the seven iron at toe up, toe up, keep your head still, shift your weight, say cheeseburger, swing, and pose. Now...I can tell you no one is going to want to play golf with me...it would take them twelve hours to get through 18 holes by the time I remember all of this! Plus...I am the mommy that walks out of the house in the morning and needs to make sure I have put on pants......Can I really remember all of this!?



My kids thought I did awesome, and really that is all that matters! Let's face it...I am no lady golf pro, and I will never be, but my boys watching me out hit the 18 and 19 year old guys that were in the class with me was a priceless moment:)))

ArmyWife in an Air Force World

We have been on base(post for all you army folks:) for about two months now.  It has taken some getting used to but I think we finally have terms and protocol that we need to survive.  So far we have no neighbors and I have no friends...but my house is unpacked, decluttered, and it looks ok...would look better if I had more space!  We have a spouse orientation coming up this week...maybe I will meet some people???  This is the hardest part about moving...leaving the old friends behind and making new ones! 

Since I am not working and have all this time on my hands....I have found a few things to keep me busy! I am a fan of Amy Butler fabric and thought I would try this project:  http://amybutlerdesign.com/products/free_patterns.php
The LOVE and PEACE wall art are just too cute!  Working on it now...will post pictures when I complete! 

Sweet Home ALABAMA!

The Reeves family has made it to Alabama and getting acquainted with new neighbors, and making new friends.  Going to be living the life of a stay at home mom once again for the next year...really hoping to finish some projects and start some new things while I have the time off!
