End of a busy/happy week

Whew, it has been a hectic two weeks, but now I think it has calmed down enough to blog again. So expect daily updates for a few weeks!

Last Monday I went out with a friend I met during snorkeling and one her friends and we put together a snorkelling trip to... Blue Springs! This will make the third weekend in a row I'll have been there. As much as I enjoy Blue Springs, I think I'll need to take a break from it after this weekend. Maybe I'll go wander through SeaWorld next weekend.

My mom and sister came down this last weekend, and it was wonderful! I'm so glad that my family sees where I work and live and play. When I refer to Subway, Taco Johns, Wal-Mart, or directions, my mom will know what I'm doing now.

My sister and I went swimming on Sunday. We started swimming at the beach for... two hours, maybe three. My sister did a really good job of putting sunscreen on my back, but I still have a sunburn on the places I was responsible: shoulders, upper arms, and crazy patterns on the top of my feet where I was a bit haphazard with the lotion. My sister says that her back is pretty sunburned, so I must have missed quite a bit when spreading lotion. I get two chances to put on sunscreen right and what do I do? Miss both times. :-)

Then, we went to the springs to swim some. My sister was still getting used to the snorkel and fins and the cold of the spring, so she swam a lot more than I did. I ended up diving into the spring more than snorkeling along the surface. The only thing really missing from the snorkeling was the schools of fish that I usually see. Those were the best fish to swim through, and maybe M will have a chance next time.
