Oh boy, I have a lot to catch up on. This week I learned how to wakeboard...exhilarating and terrifying. I got up on my 3rd try and my immense fear of sharks was my motivation to get my fanny out of the water and up! It worked! I was smiling from ear to ear the entire time and Jack even watched me the entire time. My last fall was a nasty face plant. I am still so sore today I can barely hobble around. I have signed up to be a volunteer for a sea turtle patrol on a private Air Force beach here in town. I had ATV training out in the woods on military land, and it doubles as a place where old tanks and airplanes go to die. It was eerie and so fun! I got my ATV up to 45 miles an hour and boy...those things are DANGEROUS! Jack will NEVER ride one! :) I also was trained on how to spot sea turtle nests, identify the species and dig for eggs! When the nests start to hatch, I get to hold a baby turtle and help them to the water if need be. I get to do this every Monday from 6am-930am. I love living in this area. What else am I missing...my sister-in-law had a new baby...William Maxwell Haworth, Brad and I looked at a house to buy in Niceville, Fl ( I really want Niceville as my address...adorable huh?) and I made a cake for a 2 years old's birthday party on the beach. Jack is doing awesome...he learned to clap and shakes his head "no". He has one tooth ( we call it his egg tooth) and he bites with it! We call him our pitbull. He comes in for a kiss, grabs your cheeks and bites your nose and shakes his head back and forth! What a cute thing...for now. I can just see the call into the principal's office! Jack went swimming in the ocean for the first time today and ate a handful of sand. Brad and I took a jet ski into the ocean. That was uber fun but terrifying. Can you imagine being thrown off into shark water? Jeepers, shark bait...ooohaha.
